I have received many many request to do another series since my series SQL Server Interview Questions and Answers Complete List Download. I have created small series of Coding Standards and Guidelines, as this is the second most request I have received from readers. This document can be extremely long but I have limited to very few pages as it is difficult to follow thousands of the rules. My experience says it is more productive developer and better code if standard has important fewer rules than lots of micro rules.

Next two days I will be posting Guidelines. This is the standards which I use in my company. There is extra addendum also, which I will be not posting here as that is specific to our company only. Please let me know if you think I have missed any important coding standard rules, I will accommodate them.

This document tells developers how they must write their code, this document also improves maintainability of the code. Every database has its own language and this document specifically talks about SQL Server. You can use these standards in your organization, however, you must give credit back to SQL Authority blog.
