在他们职业生涯的前6个月学习SQL，在接下来的10年里从不学习其他任何东西。特别是没有学习或有效地使用窗口/分析SQL特性。特别是over()和partition by的使用。

窗口函数，比如聚合 函数时，对对象进行聚合 定义的行集(组)，但是 而不是返回一个值 组，窗口函数可以返回 每个组有多个值。

请参阅O'Reilly SQL Cookbook附录A，以获得窗口函数的良好概述。

使用无意义的表别名:

from employee t1,
department t2,
job t3,
...

使得阅读一个大的SQL语句比它需要的要困难得多

Human readable password fields, egad. Self explanatory. Using LIKE against indexed columns, and I'm almost tempted to just say LIKE in general. Recycling SQL-generated PK values. Surprise nobody mentioned the god-table yet. Nothing says "organic" like 100 columns of bit flags, large strings and integers. Then there's the "I miss .ini files" pattern: storing CSVs, pipe delimited strings or other parse required data in large text fields. And for MS SQL server the use of cursors at all. There's a better way to do any given cursor task.

编辑是因为有太多了!

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!

SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName as "Full Name", case UserRole when 2 then "Admin" when 1 then "Moderator" else "User" end as "User's Role", case SignedIn when 0 then "Logged in" else "Logged out" end as "User signed in?", Convert(varchar(100), LastSignOn, 101) as "Last Sign On", DateDiff('d', LastSignOn, getDate()) as "Days since last sign on", AddrLine1 + ' ' + AddrLine2 + ' ' + AddrLine3 + ' ' + City + ', ' + State + ' ' + Zip as "Address", 'XXX-XX-' + Substring(Convert(varchar(9), SSN), 6, 4) as "Social Security #" FROM Users

或者，把所有内容都塞进一行。

select some_column, ...
from some_table
group by some_column

假设结果将按some_column排序。我在Sybase上看到过这种情况，其中假设成立(目前)。
