Developing and Implementing Applications

Important article. Read it if you have something to do with Databases (especially Oracle) and Applications. I am fighting to enforce several practices out of the ones described here. See?! I am not the only one and I am not crazy :-)

Brief ideas:
- Keep it simple
- Strive to Avoid Trips to the Database
- For Reporting Systems, Store the Data the Way the Users Will Query It
- Use the Right Indexes
- Divide and Conquer Your Data
- Test with Large Volumes of Data
