1)不了解如何正确地在Java和数据库之间进行交互。

2)过度解析，不恰当或没有重用SQL

3)没有使用BIND变量

4)在数据库中使用SQL集逻辑时，用Java实现过程逻辑(更好)。

5)在投入生产前没有进行任何合理的性能或可伸缩性测试

6)使用水晶报表，在报表中没有正确设置模式名

7)由于不了解执行计划，使用笛卡尔式产品实现SQL(你甚至看了EXPLAIN计划吗?)

这之前已经说过了，但是:索引，索引，还是索引。我见过许多性能不佳的企业web应用程序，它们通过简单地进行一些分析(查看哪些表被频繁访问)，然后在这些表上添加索引来解决问题。这甚至不需要太多的SQL编写知识，而且回报是巨大的。

Avoid data duplication like the plague. Some people advocate that a little duplication won't hurt, and will improve performance. Hey, I'm not saying that you have to torture your schema into Third Normal Form, until it's so abstract that not even the DBA's know what's going on. Just understand that whenever you duplicate a set of names, or zipcodes, or shipping codes, the copies WILL fall out of synch with each other eventually. It WILL happen. And then you'll be kicking yourself as you run the weekly maintenance script.

最后:使用清晰、一致、直观的命名约定。与一段编写良好的代码应该是可读的一样，一个好的SQL模式或查询应该是可读的，并且实际上告诉您它在做什么，甚至没有注释。六个月后，当你不得不对桌子进行维护时，你会感谢自己的。“选择account_number, billing_date FROM national_accounts”比“选择ACCNTNBR, BILLDAT FROM NTNLACCTS”更容易使用。

使用ORM进行批量更新 选择多于需要的数据。同样，这通常在使用ORM时完成 在循环中触发sql。 没有良好的测试数据，只在实时数据上注意到性能下降。

对于基于sql的数据库:

Not taking advantage of CLUSTERED INDEXES or choosing the wrong column(s) to CLUSTER. Not using a SERIAL (autonumber) datatype as a PRIMARY KEY to join to a FOREIGN KEY (INT) in a parent/child table relationship. Not UPDATING STATISTICS on a table when many records have been INSERTED or DELETED. Not reorganizing (i.e. unloading, droping, re-creating, loading and re-indexing) tables when many rows have been inserted or deleted (some engines physically keep deleted rows in a table with a delete flag.) Not taking advantage of FRAGMENT ON EXPRESSION (if supported) on large tables which have high transaction rates. Choosing the wrong datatype for a column! Not choosing a proper column name. Not adding new columns at the end of the table. Not creating proper indexes to support frequently used queries. creating indexes on columns with few possible values and creating unnecessary indexes. ...more to be added.

根据我的经验: 不与有经验的dba沟通。

使用一些疯狂的构造和应用逻辑，而不是简单的COALESCE。
