Miscellaneous Bits & Pieces:

Don't forget that calls to @@ERROR and @@ROWCOUNT change after each statement. Most programmers prefer to store these global variables in a local variable immediately for later processing Performance Tip: "WHERE LastName LIKE 'Sm%'" is a fast query but "WHERE column LIKE '%Sm%' is a performance killer. Imagine searching in a phone book for anyone whose last name starts with 'Sm' - easy right? Now try to find anyone whose last name contains the two letters 'sm'. There's a huge difference in the number of pages required to satisfy the two queries Helpful Keyboard Shortcuts: "CTRL" + "TAB" navigates forward between panes/worksheets/tabs in an application (add in "SHIFT" to navigate backwards)
