我最不喜欢的是

Using spaces when creating tables, sprocs etc. I'm fine with CamelCase or under_scores and singular or plurals and UPPERCASE or lowercase but having to refer to a table or column [with spaces], especially if [ it is oddly spaced] (yes, I've run into this) really irritates me. Denormalized data. A table doesn't have to be perfectly normalized, but when I run into a table of employees that has information about their current evaluation score or their primary anything, it tells me that I will probably need to make a separate table at some point and then try to keep them synced. I will normalize the data first and then if I see a place where denormalization helps, I'll consider it. Overuse of either views or cursors. Views have a purpose, but when each table is wrapped in a view it's too much. I've had to use cursors a few times, but generally you can use other mechanisms for this. Access. Can a program be an anti-pattern? We have SQL Server at my work, but a number of people use access due to it's availabilty, "ease of use" and "friendliness" to non-technical users. There is too much here to go into, but if you've been in a similar environment, you know.

没有使用With子句或适当的连接并依赖子查询。

反模式:

select 
 ...
from data
where RECORD.STATE IN (
          SELECT STATEID
            FROM STATE
           WHERE NAME IN
                    ('Published to test',
                     'Approved for public',
                     'Published to public',
                     'Archived'
                    ))

好: 我喜欢使用with子句使我的意图更易于阅读。

with valid_states as (
          SELECT STATEID
            FROM STATE
           WHERE NAME IN
                    ('Published to test',
                     'Approved for public',
                     'Published to public',
                     'Archived'
                    )
select  ... from data, valid_states
where data.state = valid_states.state

最好的:

select 
  ... 
from data join states using (state)
where 
states.state in  ('Published to test',
                     'Approved for public',
                     'Published to public',
                     'Archived'
                    )

重新使用一个“死”字段来做一些它不打算做的事情(例如在“传真”字段中存储用户数据)-尽管作为一个快速修复非常诱人!

我见过太多人死死抓着IN(…)，却完全忘记了EXISTS(存在)。有关一个好例子，请参见Symfony Propel ORM。

不必深入浅出:不使用准备好的语句。

FROM TableA, TableB WHERE语法用于连接而不是FROM TableA内部连接TableB上 假设查询将以某种方式返回，而不放入ORDER BY子句，因为这是在查询工具中测试时显示的方式。
