**[Coding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12290/teaching-coding-from-the-metal-up-or-from-the-glass-back) Standard in [SQL](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13115/types-of-keys-in-sql-or-oracle-database) Server:**

Coding standard are a set of rules that provides the guidelines to writing the efficient the piece of code or whole code in the project. It provides a best practices of writing programming styles and conventions. All the big software companies use this standard and advised their developers to include coding standard in their code before the project is deployed. If developers follow all the instructions of coding standard when he developed then the program is easily readable, formatted, easily modified by others if a developer comes later.

## Need of Coding Standards:

Coding standards is highly recommended to implement during the building the SQL codes. If it is not followed then there is very difficult to interpret by some who was not part of the initial development. There are some important reasons to follow the coding standards by the developer,

• Codes are easy to debug during the development.

• If needs to any changes letter then it can easily performed.

• It takes less turnaround time in case of future changes.

• Codes are log durable and readable.

• Add comment about at every part of codes.

• Codes will suitable formatted in programing style.

• Writes quick responsive the queries.

• Avoid to write multiple joins in a single query.

• Never used a column number in ORDER BY clause in SQL statement here the column name is better instead of the column number.
