T-SQL Tuesday #158, Implementing Worst Practices

Posted on Monday January 2nd, 2023

#tsql2sday is a monthly blog party on the second Tuesday of each month.

#tsql2sday is a monthly blog party on the second Tuesday of each month. Everyone is welcome to participate, so no matters you are an experienced blogger or you just want to start writing about SQL Server, this is a real good chance to add something to the community

Happy New Year to all and welcome to a new #tsql2sday event that I’m proudly hosting for this month.

This Month’s Topic

One of the most repeated answers to almost any question asked within the SQL Server community is that “everything depends”… Can that also apply to known best practices?

Furthermore, is it possible that some of the commonly agreed “worst practices” have indeed some use case where they can be useful or suit an edge use case?

This month I am asking you to write about those not-so-common practices that you may have implemented at some point and the reasons behind it, I have a few in my pocket that will make more than one a bit uncomfortable 😀

The Rules

There a few rules to participate in this party, nothing complicated but let’s remind them to everyone.
