CTEs (Common Table Expressions)

WITH RankedUsers AS (
  SELECT
    Id, Name, Email,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Department ORDER BY HireDate) AS RowNum
  FROM Users
)
SELECT * FROM RankedUsers WHERE RowNum = 1;

Window Functions

SELECT
  OrderId,
  OrderDate,
  Amount,
  SUM(Amount) OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS RunningTotal,
  LAG(Amount) OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS PreviousAmount,
  AVG(Amount) OVER (PARTITION BY CustomerId) AS CustomerAvg
FROM Orders;

MERGE Statement

MERGE INTO TargetTable AS target
USING SourceTable AS source
ON target.Id = source.Id
WHEN MATCHED THEN
  UPDATE SET target.Name = source.Name
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
  INSERT (Id, Name) VALUES (source.Id, source.Name)
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE THEN
  DELETE;

Node.js Integration (mssql)

Connection Pool

import sql from "mssql";

const config: sql.config = {
  user: process.env.SQL_USER,
  password: process.env.SQL_PASSWORD,
  server: process.env.SQL_SERVER || "localhost",
  database: process.env.SQL_DATABASE,
  options: {
    encrypt: true,
    trustServerCertificate: true,
    enableArithAbort: true,
  },
  pool: {
    min: 2,
    max: 10,
    idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
  },
};

let pool: sql.ConnectionPool | null = null;

export async function getPool(): Promise<sql.ConnectionPool> {
  if (!pool) {
    pool = await sql.connect(config);
  }
  return pool;
}

Parameterized Queries

const pool = await getPool();
const request = pool.request();

request.input("userId", sql.Int, userId);
request.input("status", sql.VarChar(50), status);

const result = await request.query(`
  SELECT * FROM Users
  WHERE Id = @userId AND Status = @status
`);

Useful Queries

List Tables

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;

Table Structure

SELECT
  c.COLUMN_NAME,
  c.DATA_TYPE,
  c.CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH,
  c.IS_NULLABLE,
  c.COLUMN_DEFAULT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c
WHERE c.TABLE_SCHEMA = @schema AND c.TABLE_NAME = @table
ORDER BY c.ORDINAL_POSITION;

Indexes

SELECT
  i.name AS IndexName,
  i.type_desc AS IndexType,
  i.is_unique,
  i.is_primary_key,
  STRING_AGG(c.name, ', ') AS Columns
FROM sys.indexes i
JOIN sys.index_columns ic ON i.object_id = ic.object_id AND i.index_id = ic.index_id
JOIN sys.columns c ON ic.object_id = c.object_id AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
WHERE i.object_id = OBJECT_ID(@tableName)
GROUP BY i.name, i.type_desc, i.is_unique, i.is_primary_key;

Foreign Keys

SELECT
  fk.name AS FK_Name,
  tp.name AS ParentTable,
  cp.name AS ParentColumn,
  tr.name AS ReferencedTable,
  cr.name AS ReferencedColumn
FROM sys.foreign_keys fk
JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns fkc ON fk.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
JOIN sys.tables tp ON fkc.parent_object_id = tp.object_id
JOIN sys.columns cp ON fkc.parent_object_id = cp.object_id AND fkc.parent_column_id = cp.column_id
JOIN sys.tables tr ON fkc.referenced_object_id = tr.object_id
JOIN sys.columns cr ON fkc.referenced_object_id = cr.object_id AND fkc.referenced_column_id = cr.column_id
WHERE tp.name = @tableName;

Best Practices

Security

1. Never concatenate strings in queries - use parameters
2. Least privilege for application users
3. Use schemas to organize and control access

Performance

1. Avoid SELECT * - list columns explicitly
2. Use appropriate indexes for WHERE and JOIN
3. Avoid functions on columns in WHERE (not sargable)
4. Use SET NOCOUNT ON in stored procedures
5. Paginate with OFFSET/FETCH or ROW_NUMBER()
