S From the Back Cover 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 refactorings in even the most complex production environments. 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.

He is founder and practice leader of the Agile Modeling (AM) ( Agile Data (AD) ( Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) ( and Agile Unified Process (AUP) ( methodologies. Scott is the (co-)author of several books, including Agile Modeling (John Wiley & Sons, 2002), Agile Database Techniques (John Wiley & Sons, 2003), The Object Primer, Third Edition (Cambridge University Press, 2004), The Enterprise Unified Process (Prentice Hall, 2005), and The Elements of UML 2.0 Style (Cambridge University Press, 2005). Scott is a contributing editor with Software Development magazine ( and has spoken and keynoted at a wide variety of international conferences, including Software Development, UML World, Object Expo, Java Expo, and Application Development. Scott graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master of Information Science. In his spare time Scott studies the Goju Ryu and Kobudo styles of karate. Pramod J. Sadalage is a consultant for ThoughtWorks, an enterprise application development and integration company. He first pioneered the practices and processes of evolutionary database design and database refactoring in 1999 while working on a large J2EE application using the Extreme Programming (XP) methodology. Since then, Pramod has applied the practices and processes to many projects. Pramod writes and speaks about database administration on evolutionary projects, the adoption of evolutionary processes with regard to databases, and evolutionary practices impact upon database administration, in order to make it easy for everyone to use evolutionary design in regards to databases. When he is not working, you can find him spending time with his wife and daughter and trying to improve his running. Excerpt. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Refactoring DatabasesRefactoring Databases Evolutionary Database DesignPreface Evolutionary, and often agile, software development methodologies, such as Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, the Rational Unified Process (RUP), the Agile Unified Process (AUP), and Feature-Driven Development (FDD), have taken the information technology (IT) industry by storm over the past few years. For the sake of definition, an evolutionary method is one that is both iterative and incremental in nature, and an agile method is evolutionary and highly collaborative in nature. Furthermore, agile techniques such as refactoring, pair programming, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and Agile Model-Driven Development (AMDD) are also making headway into IT organizations. These methods and techniques have been developed and have evolved in a grassroots manner over the years, being honed in the software trenches, as it were, instead of formulated in ivory towers. In short, this evolutionary and agile stuff seems to work incredibly well in practice. In the seminal book Refactoring, Martin Fowler describes a refactoring as a small change to your source code that improves its design without changing its semantics. In other words, you improve the quality of your work without breaking or adding anything. In the book, Martin discusses the idea that just as it is possible to refactor your application source code, it is also possible to refactor your database schema. However, he states that database refactoring is quite hard because of the significant levels of coupling associated with databases, and therefore he chose to leave it out of his book. Since 1999 when Refactoring was published, the two of us have found ways to refactor database schemas. Initially, we worked separately, running into each other at conferences such as Software Development

5 ( and on mailing lists ( We discussed ideas, attended each other's conference tutorials and presentations, and quickly discovered that our ideas and techniques overlapped and were highly compatible with one another. So we joined forces to write this book, to share our experiences and techniques at evolving database schemas via refactoring. The examples throughout the book are written in Java, Hibernate, and Oracle code. Virtually every database refactoring description includes code to modify the database schema itself, and for some of the more interesting refactorings, we show the effects they would have on Java application code. Because all databases are not created alike, we include discussions of alternative implementation strategies when important nuances exist between database products. In some instances we discuss alternative implementations of an aspect of a refactoring using Oracle-specific features such as the SE,T UNUSED or RENAME TO commands, and many of our code examples take advantage of Oracle's COMMENT ON feature. Other database products include other features that make database refactoring easier, and a good DBA will know how to take advantage of these things. Better yet, in the future database refactoring tools will do this for us. Furthermore, we have kept the Java code simple enough so that you should be able to convert it to C#, C++, or even Visual Basic with little problem at all. Why Evolutionary Database Development? Evolutionary database development is a concept whose time has come. Instead of trying to design your database schema up front early in the project, you instead build it up throughout the life of a project to reflect the changing requirements defined by your stakeholders. Like it or not, requirements change as your project progresses. Traditional approaches have denied this fundamental reality and have tried to "manage change," a euphemism for preventing change, through various means. Practitioners of modern development techniques instead choose to embrace change and follow techniques that enable them to evolve their work in step with evolving requirements. Programmers have adopted techniques such as TDD, refactoring, and AMDD and have built new development tools to make this easy. As we have done this, we have realized that we also need techniques and tools to support evolutionary database development. Advantages to an evolutionary approach to database development include the following: Tool support is still evolving. When Refactoring was published in 1999, no tools supported the technique. Just a few years later, every single integrated development environment (IDE) has code-refactoring features built right in to it. At the time of this writing, there are no database refactoring tools in existence, although we do include all the code that you need to implement the refactorings by hand. Luckily, the Eclipse Data Tools Project (DTP) has indicated in their project prospectus the need to develop database-refactoring functionality in Eclipse, so it is only a matter of time before the tool vendors catch up. Agility in a NutshellAlthough this is not specifically a book about agile software development, the fact is that database refactoring is a primary technique for agile developers. A pro...

A very complete catalog of strategies for database maintenance By Edelmiro Fuentes As I had never thought about data model maintenance in terms of "Refactoring", the title of this book was very appealing to me. Creating a data model from scratch on a development environment is a relatively easy thing to manage; updating an existing one on a production environment with a lot of dependencies, is certainly not. Like accomplished taxonomists, Scott Ambler and Pramod Sadalage elaborated an exhaustive catalog where they identified, named, and classified most (if not all) of the transformations that can be applied, not only to the database itself (e.g. Drop Column, Rename View, Split Table) but also to the data (e.g. Apply Standard Codes, Introduce Default Value, Introduce Common Format) and to the methods (e.g. Add Parameter, Rename Method, Remove Middle Man). Each transformation is clearly explained together with a suggested strategy for rolling-it out into production. References on the inside cover serve as an index to easily locate each particular refactoring and transformation. This book should certainly be on the bookshelf of any person responsible for maintaining a database.16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Some important ideas but much work remains to be done By Piers C. In software development a 'refactoring' is a change that improves code quality without changing functionality. Refactoring helps keep an application maintainable over its life-cycle as requirements evolve, and is particularly of interest to those adopting modern 'agile' methodologies. This book comprises five general chapters on database refactoring - about 70 pages - followed by a 200 page catalog of various refactorings. The refactorings are classified as 'structural', 'data quality', 'referential integrity', 'architectural' and 'methods'. An additional chapter catalogs 'transformations', more on which in a moment. Each catalog entry uses a template including 'Motivation', 'Tradeoffs', 'Schema Update Mechanics', 'Data-Migration Mechanics' and 'Access Program Update Mechanics'. The 'Mechanics' sections include example code fragments for Oracle, JDBC and Hibernate. Several of the structural refactorings are just simple database schema changes: rename/drop column/table/view. Adding is not really a refactoring so add column/table/view were cataloged as 'transformations' - changes that do affect the application, a distinction that appears to me a little clumsy. Some structural refactorings are more interesting: merge/split columns/tables, move column, introduce/remove surrogate key, introduce calculated column, introduce associative table. The data quality refactorings include introduce/drop default values, null or check constraints, standardize codes, formats and data types, use consistent keys and lookup tables. Most of these are common best practices, seeing them cataloged as refactorings didn't yield me any new insights. Only replacing type codes

8 with flags was of special interest. Referential integrity refactorings include the obvious add/drop foreign keys with optional cascading delete, but also using triggers to create a change history and hard vs. soft deletes. Using before and after delete triggers to implement soft deletes is probably the best example in the book. Architectural refactorings include using CRUD methods (ie. stored procedures or functions to select/insert/update/delete records), query functions that return cursor refs, interchanging methods and views, implementing methods in stored procedures, using materialized views and using local mirror tables vs. remote 'official' data sources. All these are common design techniques and the discussion of motivation and tradeoffs is particularly relevant. The final section on method refactorings is more abbreviated and covers typical code refactorings. These qualify for inclusion only because databases include stored procedures, but they have nothing to do with schema evolution. An important aspect of this book is that the catalog of refactorings is presented in the context of evolutionary database development described in the first five chapters: this approach emphasises an iterative approach, automated regression testing, configuration control of schema objects and easy availability of personalized application database environments for developers. Refactorings and transformations are intended to be applied one by one, and an automated regression test suite used to maintain confidence that a change does not introduce an application defect. Change control and a change tracking mechanism are essential to manage the application of schema changes to integration, QA and production environments. What do I like about this book? The catalog of refactorings is thorough (some might say pedantic) which makes it a good learning tool for new database developers and DBAs, and as a shared reference for communicating on larger projects and in larger organizations. Experienced DBAs working on smaller projects are less likely to find it useful. What don't I like? Relatively little is provided about the tools required to make regular refactoring practical, the authors simply state that these are being worked on. utplsql is not mentioned at all. The discussion on tracking changes is thin (but check out the LiquiBase project on Sourceforge). No guidance is provided on how you might use Ant to build and maintain developer database environments. Little is covered on the tough topic of building and maintaining test data sets. A final pet peeve: no discussion of refactoring across multiple schemas shared by an application suite. In summary this book sketches out some important ideas but much work remains to be done. The catalog takes a number of established techniques and best practices and places them in a new framework which at least provides value to some for now.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Database Designer? Buy This Book By AlisonA There are so few good books out there on database design, and even fewer on improving the design of existing databases. Loved the format of this book and the thought that went into it. Original thoughtprovoking ideas. I work as a database designer, and I love this book. I've used it several times when I need to back up an argument with management, and it's worked like a charm.see all 27 customer reviews...
