Useful Notes
very good articles keep doing things more and more
Hi Pinal,
That is a Very Very Good Compiled Document. Appreciate it
However, just one things i noticed. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Stored Procedure Naming Convention
– Is it feasible to start the User Created Stored procedure Name with “sp” ,since SQL Server looks for the Stored Procedure in the Master Database and assumes it to be as a System defined Stored Procedure?
I know you have mentioned not to start with “sp_”, but just a thought.
Thanks

Hello Mr. Dave,
Your articles are amazing and really very useful. I am a beginner in SQL BI and looking for resources, interview questions. It would be a great help if you can point me to those resources.
Thanks
Hi. Nice articles but I am interested in why you would want to prefix all stored procedures with ‘sp’. In the case of stored procedures I understand there is no impact but it seems superfluous and makes the natural reading of code less easy.
It reminds me somewhat of the polish notation used by many VB programmers that in the end leads to problems. Luckily ones that don’t currently afflict SQL.
Hello Mr. Dave,
Your articles are amazing and really very useful. This should
be done by each professional to encourage the begginners.
your work is really appreciable.
Go ahead

Hi,
I think you should add the (NOLOCK) attribute as well.
eg:
SELECT UserID FROM [User] (NOLOCK)
or
SELECT u.UserID,s.SessionID FROM [User] u (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN [Session] s (NOLOCK) ON u.UserID=s.UserID
