Stop Losing Time in Your SQL Workflow

Short 20 minute session for SQLBits 2026Friday - 24 Apr 2026 - 14:10 - 14:30 Room 1C

TL; DR

This session explores where productivity is lost, how modern workflows and AI change daily SQL work in 2026, and what practical shifts help teams move faster with confidence.

Session Details

"Most SQL developers don’t struggle because they lack skill — they struggle because their workflow is fragmented.

In this session, we’ll follow a realistic SQL development workflow from change request to delivery and highlight the hidden productivity drains that slow teams down: context switching, manual checks, inconsistent environments, and late-stage surprises.

We’ll then explore how modern tooling and AI-assisted workflows are changing what’s possible in 2026 — helping you move faster without sacrificing control. You’ll see how small shifts in how you design, write, validate, and deploy database changes can compound into major time savings.

Expect practical examples, real-world scenarios, and ideas you can take back to your team."
