Refactoring
Databases : Evolutionary Database Design
Call
No. 005.74 A493r 2006
Refactoring has proven its value in a wide range of development
projects–helping software professionals improve system designs,
maintainability, extensibility, and performance. Now, for the first
time, leading agile methodologist Scott Ambler and renowned
consultant Pramodkumar Sadalage introduce powerful refactoring
techniques specifically designed for database systems.
Ambler and Sadalage demonstrate how small changes to table
structures, data, stored procedures, and triggers can significantly
enhance virtually any database design–without changing semantics.
You’ll learn how to evolve database schemas in step with source
code–and become far more effective in projects relying on iterative,
agile methodologies.
This comprehensive guide and reference helps you overcome the
practical obstacles to refactoring real-world databases by covering
every fundamental concept underlying database refactoring. Using
start-to-finish examples, the authors walk you through refactoring
simple standalone database applications as well as sophisticated
multi-application scenarios. You’ll master every task involved in
refactoring database schemas, and discover best practices for
deploying refactorings in even the most complex production
environments.
The second half of this book systematically covers five major
categories of database refactorings. You’ll learn how to use
refactoring to enhance database structure, data quality, and
referential integrity; and how to refactor both architectures and
methods. This book provides an extensive set of examples built with
Oracle and Java and easily adaptable for other languages, such as
C#, C++, or VB.NET, and other databases, such as DB2, SQL Server,
MySQL, and Sybase.
Using this book’s techniques and examples, you can reduce waste,
rework, risk, and cost–and build database systems capable of
evolving smoothly, far into the future.
