In this post, Owen Murphy breaks down AI Query Assist, explaining how it combines execution plans with generative AI to rewrite slow SQL.
We look at why AI Query Assist matters for DBAs and developers who want faster, more reliable performance tuning without sacrificing security.
Over the past 15 years, Agile and DevOps have accelerated application delivery, enabling faster, more reliable releases. Yet the database layer often remains a blind spot for observability and performance monitoring.
In this article, Kevin Kline shows why closing the database observability gap is critical to improving performance, efficiency, and resilience for DBAs, developers, and the businesses that depend on their data.
Slow SQL Server queries are often the first sign your database is in trouble, but they rarely tell you why performance is degrading.
In this post, we look at how SQL Server execution plans expose the real causes behind slow queries and how SolarWinds® Plan Explorer® helps DBAs turn that insight into faster, more reliable performance.
CPUs are running faster now than ever before, solid-state drives are replacing spinning disks, and database servers have terabytes of RAM. Because these resources are plentiful and increasingly affordable, it can seem tempting to solve database performance issues with hardware. But consider this example: if CPU utilization shoots up to 90% on one of your servers and stays at that level for a day or two, is the problem lack of CPU power or something else?
