Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our SQL optimization services.
How quickly can you improve our database performance?
Most performance improvements are delivered within 1-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your environment. Simple query optimizations can often be completed in days, while comprehensive performance tuning projects typically take 2-4 weeks from start to finish.
Do you guarantee performance improvements?
Yes, we guarantee measurable performance improvements. If we don't deliver the results we promise, you don't pay. This guarantee is backed by our proven track record and expertise in SQL optimization.
What SQL Server versions do you support?
We support all current and recent versions of SQL Server, including SQL Server 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, and Azure SQL Database. Our experts stay current with the latest features and optimization techniques for each platform.
How does your fixed-fee pricing work?
After understanding your requirements, we provide a fixed-price quote with clearly defined deliverables and timeline. No hourly billing, no surprise costs. You know exactly what you're paying upfront, and payment is typically structured around project milestones.
Can you work with our existing database team?
Absolutely. We work closely with your internal database administrators and development teams, providing knowledge transfer and documentation so your team can maintain the improvements long-term. We complement your team's skills rather than replace them.
Do you provide ongoing support after optimization?
Yes, every engagement includes 30 days of support to address any questions or issues that arise after implementation. We also offer optional ongoing maintenance and monitoring services for clients who want continued support.
What if our database is hosted in the cloud?
We work with all major cloud platforms including Azure SQL Database, Amazon RDS for SQL Server, and Google Cloud SQL. Cloud environments often have unique optimization opportunities that we're experienced in leveraging.
How do you measure success?
We measure success through concrete metrics like query execution times, CPU utilization, I/O performance, and user response times. Every project includes before-and-after benchmarks so you can see the exact improvements achieved.
