The Common Sense Option
If you haven’t had a DBA review your system in a while, or ever, then there’s a very good chance that the problem can be solved quickly and inexpensively.
The Industry’s Dirty Little Secret
However, many companies have SQL performance problems which can be solved very quickly by trained technicians, especially if they don’t have a DBA on staff proficient in performance and tuning. The consultant isn’t going to tell you he’s quickly identified your problem, when he’s reserved three days for you and has turned down other customers. He’ll fix it, but also take his time and produce an incomprehensible 472 page diagnostics report in the process for you to review.
It’s very common for a small company to be successful and their data volumes grow as a result, and then start having database performance problems. However they aren’t at the size yet to afford a DBA and consultants are prohibitively expensive. Developers will want a new server, or move to the cloud or Oracle or Hadoop, or whatever the sexiest technology is at the moment – when the database just needs simple tuning.
