Miscellaneous rules

Rules that don't fall under one of the other categories.

CGUNP – Unparsed SQL

Unable to parse SQL code. The SQL may be incorrect or contain syntax that SQL Code Guard doesn't understand.

Try fixing the SQL or rewriting it in a simpler form.

MI001 – Table var is declared but never used

Although it makes very little difference to performance, every table variable results in a table being created and deleted in the TEMPDB database.

MI002 – Temp table is declared but never used

Temp tables have a small cost to performance, because they are created and deleted in the TEMPDB database.

MI003 – Unqualified column name

This issue is not registered for query with single table in the FROM clause.
A Column name should be qualified with its table name if it is part of a join or is in a subquery, even if it is currently unambiguous. At some point a change could be made that will cause an error.

MI004 – Usage of sp_executesql (only in procedure/trigger)

MI005 – Variable is declared but never used

Unused variables are often a symptom of technical debt or unfinished work.

MI006 – Parameter is declared but never used

Unused parameters are often a symptom of technical debt or unfinished work.

They are sometimes necessary for backward-compatibility so only remove if safe to do so.

MI007 – WAIT FOR DELAY/TIME used

Including WAITFOR will slow the completion of the SQL Server process and can result in a timeout message in the application. If necessary, adjust the timeout setting for the connection at the application level.

MI008 – QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS option inside stored procedure, trigger or function

Setting the QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS options inside a stored procedure, trigger or function will have no effect.
