The Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch and Its Impact on Information Quality

with Ron Fuller

The object-relational impedance mismatch is a well-understood phenomenon that almost always results in poor database design. The problem is not that databases are difficult to design well, but that writing code against a well-designed database is difficult. Coding against a poorly designed database is much easier -- but as long as the end product meets the business requirement and passes user acceptance testing, it is seen as a success; at least for the time being.

In this session you will learn:

The technical, cultural and academic antecedents of bad database design and their impact on information quality
How the object-relational impedance mismatch is also a metaphor for the unnecessarily conflicting interests of the business and IT
How to "do the right thing" in an unmanaged environment, and how to encourage the business to help you do that
