过度使用临时表和游标。

1)我不知道这是否是一个“官方的”反模式，但我不喜欢并试图避免在数据库列中使用字符串文字作为魔法值。

MediaWiki表'image'中的一个例子:

img_media_type ENUM("UNKNOWN", "BITMAP", "DRAWING", "AUDIO", "VIDEO", 
    "MULTIMEDIA", "OFFICE", "TEXT", "EXECUTABLE", "ARCHIVE") default NULL,
img_major_mime ENUM("unknown", "application", "audio", "image", "text", 
    "video", "message", "model", "multipart") NOT NULL default "unknown",

(我只是注意到不同的大小写，另一个要避免的事情)

我设计了这样的情况，int查找表ImageMediaType和ImageMajorMime与int主键。

2)日期/字符串转换，依赖于特定的NLS设置

CONVERT(NVARCHAR, GETDATE())

没有格式标识符

我最不喜欢的是

Using spaces when creating tables, sprocs etc. I'm fine with CamelCase or under_scores and singular or plurals and UPPERCASE or lowercase but having to refer to a table or column [with spaces], especially if [ it is oddly spaced] (yes, I've run into this) really irritates me. Denormalized data. A table doesn't have to be perfectly normalized, but when I run into a table of employees that has information about their current evaluation score or their primary anything, it tells me that I will probably need to make a separate table at some point and then try to keep them synced. I will normalize the data first and then if I see a place where denormalization helps, I'll consider it. Overuse of either views or cursors. Views have a purpose, but when each table is wrapped in a view it's too much. I've had to use cursors a few times, but generally you can use other mechanisms for this. Access. Can a program be an anti-pattern? We have SQL Server at my work, but a number of people use access due to it's availabilty, "ease of use" and "friendliness" to non-technical users. There is too much here to go into, but if you've been in a similar environment, you know.

FROM TableA, TableB WHERE语法用于连接而不是FROM TableA内部连接TableB上 假设查询将以某种方式返回，而不放入ORDER BY子句，因为这是在查询工具中测试时显示的方式。

在他们职业生涯的前6个月学习SQL，在接下来的10年里从不学习其他任何东西。特别是没有学习或有效地使用窗口/分析SQL特性。特别是over()和partition by的使用。

窗口函数，比如聚合 函数时，对对象进行聚合 定义的行集(组)，但是 而不是返回一个值 组，窗口函数可以返回 每个组有多个值。

请参阅O'Reilly SQL Cookbook附录A，以获得窗口函数的良好概述。

我见过太多人死死抓着IN(…)，却完全忘记了EXISTS(存在)。有关一个好例子，请参见Symfony Propel ORM。
