Bill Karwin style and choice of arranging the material within the chapters made it an easy read. It includes good and accurate examples the reader can test in almost any database system. Overall, the book will save the inexperience from many failures and embarrassment.
I purchased this book hoping to find something new. Unfortunately, I have been in the trenches long enough to live through and see most of these
patterns. This book will be a great addition and a must read for application developers, new database professionals including DBA, developers and architects. I say “new” because it takes time to see all these patterns.
