Indexes are generally considered to be the panacea when it comes to SQL performance tuning, and PostgreSQL supports different types of indexes catering to different use cases. I keep seeing many articles and talks on “tuning” discussing how creating new indexes speeds up SQL but rarely ones discussing removing them.

Tuning In terms of tuning, two parameters can be tuned, the size of the bitmap and the number of bits set by every value. For good performance, the filter blocks are cached in the RocksDB block cache and normally stay there since they are accessed frequently.

If we were to select the most important MySQL setting, if we were given a freshly installed MySQL or Percona Server for MySQL and could only tune a single MySQL variable, which one would it be? To be fair, that is also true with PostgreSQL; it hasn’t been tuned either, and it, too, can also perform much better.
