Do the db guys at your company help you optimize queries and table set up at all? Ours basically don’t at all. Their job is to maintain the db apparently and us devs are left to handle this and it seems wrong. I’ve been partitioning tables and creating indexes the past few weeks trying to speed up a view and running explain analyze and throwing the results in Gemini and my queries are still slow af. I had one sql class in college, it’s not my thing. Seems like if dbas would spend a few minutes with me asking about the data and what we are trying to do they could get this guys results relatively easily. Am I wrong?
