ShopNest teams review proc scripts in PRs like C#.
See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or API project with SQL Server LocalDB. Run dotnet run after pasting.
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_Orders_GetByCustomer
@CustomerId INT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT Id, Total, Status
FROM Orders
WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId
ORDER BY Id DESC;
ENDWhat happened?
- Prefix usp_.
- SET NOCOUNT ON reduces done messages.
- Keep procs focused.
Practice next
- Create the proc.
- EXEC with a customer id.
- Grant EXECUTE to app user.
- Add @Top INT.
- Filter Status optional.
Remember
CREATE OR ALTER. NOCOUNT ON. Focused procs.
