    Hi,
    I work for a gaming company that provides Electronic Bingo systems to large casinos/halls globally.
    Our DB is a performance issue for us, slow sales and transactions have been a real problem of late, our DB engineer is relatively junior and not really up to the job of doing a deep dive and seeing where the bottlenecks are.

    Could anyone here recommend an agency, individual who would look at this for us?

    Thanks.

    Do you have a testing environment firstly? I would recommend you send your junior engineer on a course as well. It would improve their skills and benefit your business as well.

    Edit: Your engineer could have a look at this in the meantime, as long as there is a testing environment to work on. http://highscalability.com/blog/2012/5/16/big-list-of-20-common-bottlenecks.html

    Have you given the engineer a chance to find the problem or has he just failed to find it?

    In a lot of instances db performance problems are sue to poor indexing and maintenance of the database.
    I cant imagine a bingo application should generate too much of a workload so it really must be something basic causing you issues.
