Have you ever looked at some tsql code and thought--How does even run? I know I have and it can be daunting to take a piece of code and review it for performance or to make a change to it. I enlist the help of Jen McCown from the MidnightDBA team to discuss approaches to unraveling code. We tackle the issues of nested views, documentation, formatting, Hungarian Notation, and visualizing how all the code pieces fit together.

At the end of the day, we just want our code to be understandable and usable for the next person who has to review it, because that next person just might be you. :)

Get the show notes for today's episode at http://sqldatapartners.com/2016/05/31/unraveling-code/ and I'll see you on the SQL trail!
