Software Development Editorial Review

The "SQL Antipatterns: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Database Programming" is an informative and well-structured book that is beneficial for data analysts, data engineers, and DBAs with some introductory-level experience in SQL and programming languages. The book offers valuable advice, providing use-case after use-case of particular data structures and giving numerous examples of how the wrong approach to a problem can impede an organization and its application development goals. The author's use of the ``pattern/antipattern'' nomenclature has drawn criticism from some readers. Still, it is an excellent resource for anyone who wishes to extend their bag of tricks when dealing with relational databases. The appendix also includes a clean and concise layout of the rules for normalization, which is useful when a specific reference for your argument is required. **
