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
by Bill Karwin, with updated opinions and commentary to modernize the
material. Stay after for pizza and a rousing exchange of ideas on the
past, present, and future of SQL and of the Postgres project.
