T-SQL Tuesday #158 – When Worst Practices are the Best
This month’s T-SQL Tuesday is an especially interesting one! Hosted by Raul Gonzalez (b|t), Raul asks us to talk about “Worst Practices” and when could they be a good thing to use. After all, the actual “best practice” is – well… it depends!

This month’s T-SQL Tuesday is hosted by Deb the DBA (b|t), who invites us to give a long rant about a question that a coworker could be asking us, without knowing what they’ve just gotten themselves into by doing that.

But it can be a very difficult topic, and the hardest thing about it, in my opinion, is knowing where to start. Hopefully, with this blog post, I can help you out with that.
