T-SQL Patterns and Practices Review 1.8

T-SQL Patterns and Practices Review by Microsoft Corporation is a code quality and performance assessment tool designed to help database professionals write fast, secure, and maintainable T-SQL. It analyzes scripts, stored procedures, functions, and views to identify common anti-patterns and deviations from recommended practices, then provides clear, actionable guidance to improve reliability and consistency across your SQL Server and Azure SQL workloads. Ideal for code reviews, pre-deployment checks, and ongoing tuning, it helps teams standardize standards, reduce regressions, and accelerate delivery.

Key capabilities:

• Detects performance and correctness issues such as non-SARGable predicates, implicit conversions, RBAR patterns, unnecessary cursors, risky scalar UDF usage, parameter sniffing risks, and problematic tempdb usage.
• Surfaces security and compliance concerns, including dynamic SQL injection risks, improper parameterization, missing schema qualifications, and least-privilege violations.
• Improves maintainability with rules for naming, style, deterministic behavior, error handling patterns (TRY…CATCH), and consistent SET options.
• Provides contextual recommendations, links to Microsoft documentation, and customizable rule sets you can share across teams.
• Generates review reports suitable for CI/CD workflows and works alongside tools like SQL Server Management Studio and Azure Data Studio.

With practical guidance rooted in Microsoft’s recommended patterns and practices, T-SQL Patterns and Practices Review helps developers, DBAs, and data engineers raise code quality, enhance performance, and ship with confidence. Feature availability may vary by version and environment.
