Best Practices We Implement

Industry-standard methodologies for SQL Server and general database optimisation

1 Performance Tuning

  • Monitor query execution times using Query Execution Plan analysis
  • Avoid using SELECT *; query only necessary columns
  • Optimise JOINs and ensure proper indexing on foreign keys

2 Indexing Strategy

  • Use indexes on frequently searched columns without over-indexing
  • Monitor index fragmentation and rebuild/reorganise as needed
  • Use stored procedures to optimise execution time

3 MS SQL Specific

  • Enable Query Store to track query performance over time
  • Configure TempDB with multiple data files for scalability
  • Set appropriate memory limits to prevent resource exhaustion

4 Security Measures

  • Enforce strong authentication and role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Prevent SQL injection using prepared statements
  • Monitor for deadlocks and blocking processes
