Database access
Connecting to a database and getting data out — distinct from tuning it. Six independent graders all routed plain Postgres/Mongo/BigQuery connectors into `query-optimization`, whose label reads as EXPLAIN-plan work; that mismatch is what surfaced this gap. tashan measures 77 capabilities for this work. Ranked on upkeep, freshness and real adoption, every input public. How we measure ›
