Accelerate Query Performance With AI Query Assist: Intelligent Tuning, Built Securely

SolarWinds has released AI Query Assist, a new feature for their database tools (SQL Sentry, DPA, and Observability SaaS) that uses generative AI to automatically rewrite slow SQL queries. Unlike using public LLMs, AI Query Assist prioritizes security by masking sensitive data and utilizes database execution plans for context-aware, mathematically-driven optimizations. This tool aims to accelerate the query tuning process for both DBAs and developers, offering suggestions with clear explanations while still allowing for human review and final decision-making.
