#193: As a database administrator, you probably want to spend more time trying to make things better for people using your database instead of always chasing down the latest tuning parameters or queries that are causing problems. There are only 24 hours in a day and you’re not sure if you’ll ever be able to really make things any better with the schema changes and data volume that are constantly being thrown at the database you manage.

 

In this episode, we talk with Andy Pavlo, CEO at OtterTune, about the knobs that should be turned in Postgres or MySQL before you even start trying to do any index or query tuning.
