Seven Database Query Sins You Are Going To Hell For And How To Earn Redemption
Writing good Structured Query Language queries takes effort. But you don’t have the time so you use ‘SELECT * FROM foo’ and as your data grows so does your query time.

These common problems and others are easy to fix if you know what is wrong and how to fix it. In this session you will see the big seven query sins and understand how to fix them.
