What Readers Are Saying About SQL Antipatterns

I am a strong advocate of best practices. I prefer to learn from other

people’s mistakes. This book is a comprehensive collection of those

other people’s mistakes and, quite surprisingly, some of my own. I

wish I had read this book sooner.

Marcus Adams

Senior Software Engineer

Bill has written an engaging, useful, important, and unique book.

Software developers will certainly beneﬁt from reading the anti-

patterns and solutions described here. I immediately applied tech-

niques from this book and improved my applications. Fantastic work!

and Getting Started with Apache Click

SQL Antipatterns is a must-read for software developers, who will

frequently encounter the database design choices presented in this

book. It helps development teams to understand the consequences of

their database designs and to make the best decisions possible based

on requirements, expectations, measurements, and reality.

I really like how Bill has approached this book; it shows his unique

style and sense of humor. Those things are really important when

discussing potentially dry topics. Bill has succeeded in making the

teachings accessible for developers in a good descriptive form, as

well as being easy to reference later. In short, this is an excellent new

resource for your pragmatic bookshelf!

This book is obviously the product of many years of practical expe-

rience with SQL databases. Each topic is covered in great depth,

and the attention to detail in the book was beyond my expectations.

Although it’s not a beginner’s book, any developer with a reasonable

amount of SQL experience should ﬁnd it to be a valuable reference

and would be hard-pressed not to learn something new.

This is an excellent book for the software engineer who knows basic

SQL but ﬁnds herself needing to design SQL databases for projects

that go a little beyond the basics.

Liz Neely

Senior Database Programmer

Karwin’s book is full of good and practical advice, and it was pub-

lished at the right time. While many people are focusing on the new

and seemingly fancy stuff, professionals now have the chance and the

perfect book to sharpen their SQL knowledge.

Enterprise Integration with Ruby

Bill has captured the essence of a slew of traps that we’ve probably all

dug for ourselves at one point or another when working with SQL —

without even realizing we’re in trouble. Bill’s antipatterns range from

“I can’t believe I did that (again!)” hindsight gotchas to tricky scenar-

ios where the best solution may run counter to the SQL dogma you

grew up with. A good read for SQL diehards, novices, and everyone in

between.
