SE7EN deadly sins of database design

Christian teachings speak of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. Like any aspect of life, the same human vices come into play in database design as well. In this case, the one who deserves to die is the database itself, not the designer. In this full day of learning you will see the 7 most common errors of database design and implementation. We’ll explore their origins, understand why they are wrong, and how they got rooted so deep, that some even consider them ‘best practices’. We’ll see practical examples of how they impact data consistency, code convolution, query performance, challenges in modularity, and eventually – why they must die. I mean how to uproot them and the alternatives that exist right in front of your eyes. By the way, I promise you that each and everyone of you has at least 4 of these in the database you’re currently working on. I invite you to join this meeting and prove me wrong.
