Except that now you know how to configure a database server, and know how your database server is configured. So if you ever get a problem with the database in the future, you'll know how to solve it faster. Which will save you time and money in the future.

And you're less likely to make mistakes like upgrading your server instance to try and solve a problem that can't be solved like that.

And the more you do it, the cheaper and faster it gets. That knowledge and skill has value.
