>> Has anybody here made a list of canonical mistakes that DB practitioners make? <<




Not really, but we do have a few:



    
  
  1.   EAV = Entity-attribute-vaue
  
  2.   OTLT = One True Lookup Table aka MUCK (Massively Unified Code Keys)
  
  3.   Integrity in the Apps
  
  4.   Denormalized tables
  
  5.   Auto-increment methods for keys
  
  6.   No keys at all
