SQL Coding Standard
A couple years back, I needed to define a Coding Standard for a development team to use in peer code review. Finding coding standards for C# was easy. There were several complete standards available. I essentially just used the excellent IDesign Coding Standard with a couple modifications to fit our group. The search for a SQL Coding Standard however was not quite as straightforward. I could find only a few people who had written coding standards, and none of them quite covered everything. So, I wrote/aggregated my own. I drew from some of the sources I found and added my own thoughts as well. I split the information into a coding convention & style guidelines because I believe that style should not be the focus of peer code reviews. I have made the resulting Coding Convention & Style Guidelines available on Github. Direct links are below: Coding Convention & Architecture Guidelines Naming Convention & Style Guidelines
