SQL Performance Reminders

Just a couple of SQL Server reminders to keep your database skills sharp.

1. Use Fully Qualified Names. This allows SQL Server to better access the stored procedures execution plan and speed up its performance.

EXEC pubs.dbo.reptq1

2. Use SET NOCOUNT ON/OFF. This prevents SQL Server from sending a response to the client indicating the number of rows affected by each statement. Ths helps reduce traffic between the database and the caller.
