SQL Antipatterns
October 5, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Our speaker this month, Joseph Hammerman, is visiting from Portland to speak at SEAPUG.
Few abstractions and tools have proved as enduring in the field of Computer Science as the relational database model. Due to the diligent efforts of the Postgres team, the Postgres project has an ever increasing popularity in the software world and a fully modernized feature set. One effect of the longevity of the project has been to create a deep pool of received wisdom regarding the use and misuse of Data Models and SQL. Revisit some of the wisdom from a classic of the genre: [SQL Antipatterns: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Database Programming](https://bookshop.org/p/books/sql-antipatterns-avoiding-the-pitfalls-of-database-programming-bill-karwin/7011813?ean=9781934356555&gclid=Cj0KCQjwr82iBhCuARIsAO0EAZygchZcCojCf-z_LAJjdpI5CGjxaAYL59vQLOpLMD3xNEmxJcGTRWQaAtUfEALw_wcB) by Bill Karwin, with updated opinions and commentary to modernize the material.
Pizza is provided, and we also have a user group lending library of books & papers related to PostgreSQL and Databases – including a copy of Bill Karwin’s paperback book.
Note that we’re trying out a new location for the fall. For pictures (including where to park), look at this album from our September 2023 meetup:
