An intro to A.I.M.
Maximize database performance
A.I.M. intelligently reduces routine, time-consuming tasks for database administrators (DBAs) while providing them with extensive insights and optimizations, ensuring peak performance, reduced storage requirements and improved productivity.
Indexes...
They are essential for database performance, but the standard set of indexes that comes with most third-party databases may not be optimal for your specific needs. These indexes are often designed with assumptions about future use, but the actual need for indexes varies depending on the specific business situation.
As a result, some indexes may become unusable or suboptimal over time, especially if new indexes were added to improve performance without removing the old ones.
Performance goes down
Too many indexes will degrade performance, waste disk space and consume resources to maintain. Users will experience slower response as retrieving and storing data takes longer.
Index Management
There are tools that can help you resolve index fragmentation by rebuilding or reorganizing indexes while keeping their current definition. For example: Ola Hallengren's simple and effective solution is free to use. There are also more extensive toolkits with paid licenses that offer additional features.
Why A.I.M. then?
A.I.M. stands for Automated Index Management and it does a few important things that other tools do not:
