Phil Factor has updated his code smells compendium:
Some time ago, Phil Factor wrote his booklet ‘SQL Code Smells’, collecting together a whole range of SQL Coding practices that could be considered to indicate the need for a review of the code. It was published as 119 code smells, even though there were 120 of them at the time. Phil Factor has continued to collect them and the current state of the art is reflected in this article. There are now around 150 of these smells and SQL Code Guard is committed to cover as many as possible of them.
I loved this booklet when it came out almost as much as I loved his Confessions of an IT Manager. If you’re looking for some light reading over a long weekend, you can do a lot worse than this.
