Common TSQL Mistakes

We are going to examine a variety of oopsies many developers fall prey to - some obvious, some pretty subtle and some downright sneaky! Lots of code examples with both the bad and improved code presented. I guarantee that you will find things here that will either prevent you from getting bad data, throwing unwanted errors or vastly improving your database application's performance and concurrency. I have given this talk over 100 times now and it is always very highly rated!
