使用SQL作为美化的ISAM(索引顺序访问方法)包。特别是嵌套游标，而不是将SQL语句组合成一个更大的语句。这也算“滥用优化器”，因为实际上优化器能做的不多。这可以与非准备语句结合使用，以获得最大的效率:

DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM Table1

FOREACH c1 INTO a.col1, a.col2, a.col3
    DECLARE c2 CURSOR FOR
        SELECT Item1, Item2, Item3
            FROM Table2
            WHERE Table2.Item1 = a.col2
    FOREACH c2 INTO b.item1, b.item2, b.item3
        ...process data from records a and b...
    END FOREACH
END FOREACH

正确的解决方案(几乎总是)是将两个SELECT语句合并为一个:

DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR
    SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3, Item1, Item2, Item3
        FROM Table1, Table2
        WHERE Table2.Item1 = Table1.Col2
        -- ORDER BY Table1.Col1, Table2.Item1

FOREACH c1 INTO a.col1, a.col2, a.col3, b.item1, b.item2, b.item3
    ...process data from records a and b...
END FOREACH

双循环版本的唯一优点是，您可以很容易地发现表1中值之间的中断，因为内部循环结束了。这可能是控制中断报告中的一个因素。

此外，应用程序中的排序通常是不允许的。

使用@@IDENTITY代替SCOPE_IDENTITY()

引自以下回答:

@@IDENTITY returns the last identity value generated for any table in the current session, across all scopes. You need to be careful here, since it's across scopes. You could get a value from a trigger, instead of your current statement. SCOPE_IDENTITY returns the last identity value generated for any table in the current session and the current scope. Generally what you want to use. IDENT_CURRENT returns the last identity value generated for a specific table in any session and any scope. This lets you specify which table you want the value from, in case the two above aren't quite what you need (very rare). You could use this if you want to get the current IDENTITY value for a table that you have not inserted a record into.

我一直对大多数程序员倾向于在数据访问层混合他们的ui逻辑感到失望:

SELECT
    FirstName + ' ' + LastName as "Full Name",
    case UserRole
        when 2 then "Admin"
        when 1 then "Moderator"
        else "User"
    end as "User's Role",
    case SignedIn
        when 0 then "Logged in"
        else "Logged out"
    end as "User signed in?",
    Convert(varchar(100), LastSignOn, 101) as "Last Sign On",
    DateDiff('d', LastSignOn, getDate()) as "Days since last sign on",
    AddrLine1 + ' ' + AddrLine2 + ' ' + AddrLine3 + ' ' +
        City + ', ' + State + ' ' + Zip as "Address",
    'XXX-XX-' + Substring(
        Convert(varchar(9), SSN), 6, 4) as "Social Security #"
FROM Users

通常，程序员这样做是因为他们想要将数据集直接绑定到一个网格上，而且在服务器端使用SQL Server格式比在客户端使用SQL Server格式更方便。

像上面所示的查询是非常脆弱的，因为它们将数据层与UI层紧密耦合在一起。最重要的是，这种编程风格彻底阻止了存储过程的可重用性。

有一张桌子

code_1
value_1
code_2
value_2
...
code_10
value_10

而不是有3个表

Code, value和code_value

你永远不知道什么时候你可能需要10对以上的代码，价值。

如果只需要一对，就不会浪费磁盘空间。

Human readable password fields, egad. Self explanatory. Using LIKE against indexed columns, and I'm almost tempted to just say LIKE in general. Recycling SQL-generated PK values. Surprise nobody mentioned the god-table yet. Nothing says "organic" like 100 columns of bit flags, large strings and integers. Then there's the "I miss .ini files" pattern: storing CSVs, pipe delimited strings or other parse required data in large text fields. And for MS SQL server the use of cursors at all. There's a better way to do any given cursor task.

编辑是因为有太多了!

过度使用临时表和游标。
