» Database Corruption Worksheet Steve Stedman.
I was going to write that I’vebeen very lucky in not having to deal with any corrupt MS SQL Server Databases until now but, given the rock solid MS SQL Server, it’s not unusual to never see any corruption.
If I ever *do* have to recover an MS SQL Server Database, I’d be looking to start with the Worksheet from Steve Stedman and go on to trawling his and Brent Ozar’s and Paul Randall’s other stuff for methods.

One Common SQL Programming Mistake (Red-Gate)
Predicate evaluation order
If you are familiar with the logical query processing order, then you may expect that a query is executed in the following order:
FROM
WHERE
GROUP BY
HAVING
SELECT
The sequence above outlines the logical order for executing query. Logically the FROM clause is processed first defining the source data set, next the WHERE predicates are applied, followed by GROUP BY, and so on.
However, physically, the query is processed differently and the query optimizer is free to move expressions in the query plan in order to produce the most cost efficient plan for retrieving the data. This leads to a common misunderstanding that a filter in the WHERE clause is applied before the next phases are processed. In fact, a predicate can be applied much later in the physical execution plan. Also, there is no left to right order for execution of predicates. For example, if you have a WHERE clause containing „WHERE x=1 AND y=2“, there is no guarantee that „x=1“ will be evaluated first. They can be executed in any order.
