If you’ve been following the Studio 3T blog, you’ll know we introduced Ask Manatees Anything in 2021, your chance to ask a question to the Studio 3T team about Studio 3T, MongoDB, or anything in data and get an answer. 

Studio 3T How-tos

Manatees love to show you how to do something. Whether it’s making your scripts quieter, making multiple exports at the same time, creating unique filenames or just copy and pasting data, there’ll be a Manatee answer to that:

Tackling Tasks

When there’s a job to be done, your Manatee will have the answer – and they’ll use the power of Studio 3T to do it. From cleaning up a schema to creating spreadsheets from data to getting plain JSON out, there’s a Manatee guide for that:

Easy Explanations

There’s lots to understand out there and a clear explanation is always a great starting place. It could be wondering how Studio 3T does SQL, where Aggregations are explained, how does $unwind or Query Assist work for you or why you should timestamp things. Whatever it may be, there’s a Manatee explainer for them all:

• How does Studio 3T’s SQL Query work?
