The SQL Server cheat sheet is a one-page A4 printable document, designed to provide a quick reference for SQL Server. A description of what is on the cheat sheet follows, or if you are impatient, you can go straight to the full size SQL Server cheat sheet.
It's been a while since my last cheat sheet release. But what could be better than to get the ball rolling again with the most requested cheat sheet not yet created (until now) - SQL Server. Microsoft's database engine is the source of many arguments between developers, but whether or not you believe another database to be superior, SQL Server is undoubtably powerful and includes some great management tools (Enterprise Manager, Query Analyser and the more recent SQL Server Management Studio) missing from comparable technologies.
Data Types and Conversion
Thumbnail highlighting Data Types and Conversion section.
SQL Server supports a large variety of data types and good database design relies in part on using the right data type for the right column. This section lists the data types available in groups. I've also included the syntax for the CAST and CONVERT functions here for convenience.
Functions
Thumbnail highlighting Functions sections.
SQL Server has a large array of built in functions of varying use. This section includes string, date, mathematical, grouping, ranking and table functions. Alongside the date functions block there is also a run down of the different "dateparts" - the characters used in date functions to denote different periods (day, week, month etc).
Creation
Thumbnail highlighting Creation section.
Finally (short description for this cheat sheet!), the third part of the cheat sheet contains sample code for the creation of stored procedures, views, triggers, indexes and functions (the last of which I don't make nearly enough use of).
The cheat sheet is available in two formats, PNG and PDF:
And finally, if you like the cheat sheets, and want to say thanks, I do have an Amazon Wishlist. Thankyou very much to those who have already hunted it down and sent me something nice - I'm very grateful!
