  • RE: Statistics on query execution times for a period?

    I suggest (as I did in the article), half an hour to an hour, once a week. Longer than that and it gets cumbersome to analyse.

    Fighting with a messed up development deployment. I love when developers mix up scripts from multiple versions of the database.
