Part of my job has involved reviewing database changes, both schema (DDL) and the data itself (DML) for dozens of developers, and occasionally other folks like data scientists, for about 8 years. I've primarily done this with MySQL, and I feel like at this point I have a great deal of experience in knowing which "gotchas" to expect when working with this particular DBMS.
So I'm writing a book! It's tentatively titled "MySQL Booby Traps: the Hazards and Footguns to Look Out For, and How to Avoid Them." Thanks to some of my friends and coworkers who brought up the idea. I wasn't thinking about publishing my random SQL rants (mostly in our company's Slack, but also here and on Reddit) into book form, but they've encouraged me to do so, and so I've been writing away!
Stay tuned!
