Change Log for This Class

2026-07-13: First live class rotation for 2026! Lots of changes:

  • "Good Defaults for New Tables" chapter - all new
  • "How to Visualize Indexes" chapter - all new
  • "Designing Indexes at Scale" chapter - all new, some taken from Mastering Index Tuning, some new about doing AI-driven index analysis
  • "How to Maintain Databases in 2026" chapter - all new, and I'm really excited about the new animations I built for this one
  • "Recap" chapter - all new

Even if you've been through Fundamentals of Index Tuning before in prior years, you're going to want to restart this one from scratch.
