Personal Review: Agile Database Techniques: Effective
Strategies for the Agile Software Developer (Wiley Application
Development) by Scott Ambler
The book was well written and very easy to use. I found many insightfull
thoughts as to the purpose of Agile development. If you are looking for a
great book to guide you into AGILE development, this will do it.
Drawbacks or missed points, yes this book has two flaws that I have to list.
1. the repeated use of the word Legacy and the very negative congnitation
of the word. Older database will have many flaws, and we need to identify
them. They will also have many objects and data patterns that are valid
and efficient and should not be abandoned because its not todays effort.
2. Agile and refactoring of tables does not address, production, zero down
time, large volume databases. How do you refactor a table with 2 terabites
of data and can not allow downtime. (medical)
