Check Auto Tuning Status

Before Tune Checklist & Details. The car should have ZERO Check Engine Lights. Please do not make an appointment or come until all check engine lights are cleared. If you need help with this, please call or email us well before your appointment and we will help guide you on this. If your car arrives with a check engine light, please expect.

Azure SQL Database automatic tuning provides peak performance and stable workloads through continuous performance tuning based on AI and machine learning.

Automatic tuning is a fully managed intelligent performance service that uses built-in intelligence to continuously monitor queries executed on a database, and it automatically improves their performance. This is achieved through dynamically adapting database to the changing workloads and applying tuning recommendations. Automatic tuning learns horizontally from all databases on Azure through AI and it dynamically improves its tuning actions. The longer a database runs with automatic tuning on, the better it performs.

Azure SQL Database automatic tuning might be one of the most important features that you can enable to provide stable and peak performing database workloads.

What can automatic tuning do for you

Auto
  • Automated performance tuning of Azure SQL databases
  • Automated verification of performance gains
  • Automated rollback and self-correction
  • Tuning history
  • Tuning action T-SQL scripts for manual deployments
  • Proactive workload performance monitoring
  • Scale out capability on hundreds of thousands of databases
  • Positive impact to DevOps resources and the total cost of ownership

Safe, Reliable, and Proven

Tuning operations applied to databases in Azure SQL Database are fully safe for the performance of your most intense workloads. The system has been designed with care not to interfere with the user workloads. Automated tuning recommendations are applied only at the times of a low utilization. The system can also temporarily disable automatic tuning operations to protect the workload performance. In such case, 'Disabled by the system' message will be shown in Azure portal. Automatic tuning regards workloads with the highest resource priority.

Automatic tuning mechanisms are mature and have been perfected on several million databases running on Azure. Automated tuning operations applied are verified automatically to ensure there is a positive improvement to the workload performance. Regressed performance recommendations are dynamically detected and promptly reverted. Through the tuning history recorded, there exists a clear trace of tuning improvements made to each Azure SQL Database.

Auto tune live calls for android phone. Azure SQL Database automatic tuning is sharing its core logic with the SQL Server automatic tuning engine. For additional technical information on the built-in intelligence mechanism, see SQL Server automatic tuning.

For an overview of how automatic tuning works and for typical usage scenarios, see the embedded video:

Enable automatic tuning

You can enable automatic tuning for single and pooled databases in the Azure portal or using the ALTER DATABASE T-SQL statement. You enable automatic tuning for instance databases in a managed instance deployment using the ALTER DATABASE T-SQL statement.

Automatic tuning options

Automatic tuning options available in Azure SQL Database are:

Check Auto Tuning Status Check

Automatic tuning optionSingle database and pooled database supportInstance database support
CREATE INDEX - Identifies indexes that may improve performance of your workload, creates indexes, and automatically verifies that performance of queries has improved.YesNo
DROP INDEX - Identifies redundant and duplicate indexes daily, except for unique indexes, and indexes that were not used for a long time (>90 days). Please note that this option is not compatible with applications using partition switching and index hints. Dropping unused indexes is not supported for Premium and Business Critical service tiers.YesNo
FORCE LAST GOOD PLAN (automatic plan correction) - Identifies SQL queries using execution plan that is slower than the previous good plan, and queries using the last known good plan instead of the regressed plan.YesYes

Automatic tuning for single and pooled databases

Automatic tuning for single and pooled databases uses the CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX, and FORCE LAST GOOD PLAN database advisor recommendations to optimize your database performance. For more information, see Database advisor recommendations in the Azure portal, in PowerShell, and in the REST API.

You can either manually apply tuning recommendations using the Azure portal or you can let automatic tuning autonomously apply tuning recommendations for you. The benefits of letting the system autonomously apply tuning recommendations for you is that it automatically validates there exists a positive gain to the workload performance, and if there is no significant performance improvement detected, it will automatically revert the tuning recommendation. Please note that in case of queries affected by tuning recommendations that are not executed frequently, the validation phase can take up to 72 hrs by design.

In case you are applying tuning recommendations through T-SQL, the automatic performance validation, and reversal mechanisms are not available. Recommendations applied in such way will remain active and shown in the list of tuning recommendations for 24-48 hrs. before the system automatically withdraws them. If you would like to remove a recommendation sooner, you can discard it from Azure portal.

Automatic tuning options can be independently enabled or disabled per database, or they can be configured on SQL Database servers and applied on every database that inherits settings from the server. SQL Database servers can inherit Azure defaults for automatic tuning settings. Azure defaults at this time are set to FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN is enabled, CREATE_INDEX is enabled, and DROP_INDEX is disabled.

Important

As of March, 2020 changes to Azure defaults for automatic tuning will take effect as follows:

  • New Azure defaults will be FORCE_LAST_GOOD_PLAN = enabled, CREATE_INDEX = disabled, and DROP_INDEX = disabled.
  • Existing servers with no automatic tuning preferences configured will be automatically configured to INHERIT the new Azure defaults. This applies to all customers currently having server settings for automatic tuning in an undefined state.
  • New servers created will automatically be configured to INHERIT the new Azure defaults (unlike earlier when automatic tuning configuration was in an undefined state upon new server creation).

Configuring automatic tuning options on a server and inheriting settings for databases belonging to the parent server is a recommended method for configuring automatic tuning as it simplifies management of automatic tuning options for a large number of databases.

Automatic tuning for instance databases

Automatic tuning for instance databases in a managed instance deployment only supports FORCE LAST GOOD PLAN. For more information about configuring automatic tuning options through T-SQL, see Automatic tuning introduces automatic plan correction and Automatic plan correction.
