Time out issue

When your app runs into a timeout on a database operation the error message may lead you in a wrong direction to fix things. Which happened to me so this is my little index to the docs.
A sqlConnection has a ConnectionTimeout property. It  is a property which determines the maximum number of seconds your code will wait for a connection to the database to open. It is set in the connectionstring to the database
data source=BROCHIS;initial catalog=Indato;integrated security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=60;
Opening the connection does not do anything in the database yet. That is handled by a SqlCommand, which could be part of a SqlDataAdapter. The SqlCommand has aCommandTimeOut. This is a settable property which determines the maximum number of seconds the command is given to execute the sql. By default this is 30 seconds. When you perform something costly in the database this is the one whose value you’ll have to change.
SqlCommand cmd;
if (bigJob)
   cmd.CommandTimeout = 60;
For both properties a value of 0 indicates to wait forever. Both properties also apply to non sqlserver database operations. They are defined in IdbConnection and IdbCommand.

Sql Server database Read_Only / Read_Write

The ALTER DATABASE command allows a database administrator to modify SQL Server databases and their files and filegroups. This includes permitting the changing of database configuration options. Why Read Only ? When you need to ensure that the data is a database is not modified by any users or automated processes, it is useful to set the database into a read-only mode. Once read-only, the data can be read normally but any attempts to create, updated or delete table rows is disallowed. This makes the read-only mode ideal when preparing for data migration, performing data integrity checking or when the data is only required for historical reporting purposes. Make Database Read Only USE  [master] GO ALTER DATABASE  [TESTDB]  SET  READ_ONLY  WITH  NO_WAIT GO Make Database Read/Write USE  [master] GO ALTER DATABASE  [TESTDB]  SET  READ_WRITE  WITH  NO_WAIT GO In case you get the following error message make the database single user: Msg 5070, Level 16, Stat

Do's and Don't SQL

Do's: Writing comments whenever something is not very obvious, as it won’t impact the performance.  (--) for single line  (/*…*/) to mark a section Use proper indentation Use Upper Case for all SQL keywords. SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, WHERE, INNER JOIN, AND, OR, LIKE. Use BEGIN... END block for multiple statements in conditional code  Use Declare and Set in beginning of Stored procedure Create objects in same database where its relevant table exists otherwise it will reduce network performance. Use PRIMARY key in WHERE condition of UPDATE or DELETE statements as this will avoid error possibilities. If User table references Employee table than the column name used in reference should be UserID where User is table name and ID primary column of User table and UserID is reference column of Employee table. Use select column name instead of select * Use CTE (Common Table Expression); its scope is limited to the next statement in SQL query, instead of temporary tables and der
