│ For all the buzz about trendy IT techniques, data processing is still at │
│ the core of our systems, especially now that enterprises all over the │
│ world are confronted with exploding volumes of data. Database performance │
│ has become a major headache, and most IT departments believe that │
│ developers should provide simple SQL code to solve immediate problems and │
│ │
│ In The Art of SQL, author and SQL expert Stephane Faroult argues that │
│ this "safe approach" only leads to disaster. His insightful book, named │
│ after Art of War by Sun Tzu, contends that writing quick inefficient code │
│ is sweeping the dirt under the rug. SQL code may run for 5 to 10 years, │
│ surviving several major releases of the database management system and on │
│ several generations of hardware. The code must be fast and sound from the │
│ start, and that requires a firm understanding of SQL and relational │
│ │
│ The Art of SQL offers best practices that teach experienced SQL users to │
│ focus on strategy rather than specifics. Faroult's approach takes a page │
│ from Sun Tzu's classic treatise by viewing database design as a military │
│ campaign. You need knowledge, skills, and talent. Talent can't be taught, │
│ but every strategist from Sun Tzu to modern-day generals believed that it │
│ can be nurtured through the experience of others. They passed on their │
│ experience acquired in the field through basic principles that served as │
│ guiding stars amid the sound and fury of battle. This is what Faroult │
│ │
│ Like a successful battle plan, good architectural choices are based on │
│ contingencies. What if the volume of this or that table increases │
│ unexpectedly? What if, following a merger, the number of users doubles? │
│ What if you want to keep several years of data online? Faroult's way of │
│ looking at SQL performance may be unconventional and unique, but he's │
│ deadly serious about writing good SQL and using SQL well. The Art of SQL │
│ is not a cookbook, listing problems and giving recipes. The aim is to get │
│ you-and your manager-to raise good questions. │
