SQL - Naming Convention

Naming Convention in SQL


Stored Procedure. 

sp<Application Name>_[<group name >_]<action type><table name or logical instance> Where action is: Get, Delete, Update, Write, Archive, Insert… i.e. verb 
Example: spApplicationName_GetUserDetails
       spApplicationName_UpdateEmails

Note :Do not prefix stored procedure names with “SP_”, as “SP_” is reserved for system stored procedures.

Triggers:

TR_<TableName>_<action><description> 
Example: TR_Emails_LogEmailChanges , TR_UserDetails_UpdateUserName

Indexes : 

IX_<tablename>_<columns separated by_> 
Example: IX_UserDetails_UserID

Primary Key :

PK_<tablename> 
Example: PK_UserDetails
PK_ Emails

Foreign Key : FK_<tablename_1>_<tablename_2> 
Example: FK_UserDetails_Emails

Default: 

DF_<table name>_<column name> 
Example: DF_ UserDetails _UserName

Tables, Views, Stored Procedures. 
- use pascal notation eg: UserDetails
- should end with 's' eg: Emails

If you have big subset of table group than it makes sense to give prefix for this table group. Prefix should be separated by _.  eg: edr_Doc

JavaScript Interview Questions

This is a compilations of all the interview questions related to Javascript that i have encountered.  Q: Difference between window.onload and onDocumentReady? A: The onload event does not fire until every last piece of the page is loaded, this includes css and images, which means there’s a huge delay before any code is executed. That isnt what we want. We just want to wait until the DOM is loaded and is able to be manipulated. onDocumentReady allows the programmer to do that. Q:  What is the difference between == and === ? A: The == checks for value equality, but === checks for both type and value. Few examples: "1" == 1; // value evaluation only, yields true "1" === 1; // value and type evaluation, yields false "1" == true; // "1" as boolean is true, value evaluation only, yields true "1" === false; // value and type evaluation, yields false Q: What does “1″+2+5 evaluate to? What about 5 + 2 +...

SQL Server 2008 - Inline Variable Assignment

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 brings in a new feature of 'Declaring and Assigning' a variable all in a single line. Earlier, while using SQL 2005 and earlier versions, we had to declare a variable before assigning it. This feature is explained in detail below. In SQL 2005 and earlier versions we had to write: Declare @age int Declare @name nvarchar(25) Declare @date date Set @age = 25 Set @name = "Garry" Set @date = GETDATE() With SQL 2008 we can combine both these statements to write Declare @age int = 25 Declare @name nvarchar(25) Declare @date @date = GETDATE() Advantage : This helps us to write less code, yet get the same functionality. Even though this feature has been available it is not being used in many projects because of backward compatibility issue. If the same code is being used on both 2005 and 2008 server we would prefer writing in a format compatible to both. Do share with us :  Would you like to use this new method? If not, why?
