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
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.
