Best Pratices to maximize portability in SQL Server 2016












2














When it comes to develop the prototype of a solution, often the technologies has not been decided yet and might not be the same that will be used in the finished product.



In this scenarios I tend to use Microsoft SQL Server writing the queries as standard as possible to simplify the eventual migration to another Server.



Is there a way or some known practice to enforce the use of standard SQL over T-SQL dialect directly in SQL Server or via SSMS?

          Not really.



          There is SET FIPS_FLAGGER 'FULL'.



          This prints out a warning for non standard SQL - but some caveats are




          • I am unsure what specific standard this uses (and suspect it may be SQL 92)

          • From a quick test this doesn't complain about use of the + operator for string concatenation or proprietary functions such as GETDATE() so it doesn't seem very comprehensive.

            Do not enforce STD SQL.



            Decided first which DBMS you will use according to the needs of your project, and take advantage of it.
