^What's up with these Google AdSense robot pseudo-posts in the forums? :huh:
Something new DoCo is doing?
UPDATE:
Oops! Never mind. Just found the other thread discussing it.
I skipped reading it earlier because I personally despise most things Google. ;D

Reading SQL Antipatterns:
Nice to read discussions of lots of dilemnas in database design, and a good balanced discussion of when you might bend the "good practice" rules, and why you might not want to..
My only dissapointment is there are no good solutions to many of these dilemmas (at least using an sql RDBMS), as I was hoping to discover :(

@mouser - Thx for finding that book!
I love SQL. Well...ok...maybe not love it. But I find it fun and very useful.
The real problem with SQL is "it is what it is" IMHO. Cobb had a design that proved inefficient to implement in all of it's mathematical majesty. So what we have for RDBMS systems is a compromise between his concept and our needing to do some useful things with it - but without getting needlessly bogged down in too much mathematic purity. SQL, by virtue of the fact it works with with the RDBMS model, inherits that same problem.
Maybe someday we'll have a better database model (and query language), and books like SQL Antipatterns won't be necessary any more. But I doubt it since they have yet to find a single database model that is a perfect fit for every case.
Now excuse me. I gotta go get me a copy of this book. :Thmbsup: 8)
