Tips to optimize your SQL statements

Interesting article on SQLServerCentral.com By Brian Ellul, 2010/07/29:

There is a huge difference between writing an SQL statement which works and one which works well and performs well. Sometimes developers are too focused on just writing their SQL to perform the required task, without taking into consideration its performance and most importantly its impact on the SQL Server Instance, i.e. the amount of CPU, IO, and memory resources their SQL is consuming. Thus, they starve other SQL Server processes during the SQL statement execution bringing the whole instance to its knees. This article is intended to provide the SQL developer with a set of easy checks to perform to try and optimize the SQL Statements."
