Miscellaneous Bits & Pieces:
Tips and Tricks: Create your own customized MMCs (Microsoft Management Console) for easier administration. Go to the command-line and run the command "MMC" to launch the MMC window. All that's left is for you to add in the various snap-ins you want to work with and then save the file
Keyboard Shortcut for SQL Server Management Studio: CTRL+SHIFT+L converts text to lowercase
Performance Tip: If your stored procedures use temporary tables or table variables create these as the first line(s) of code in your stored procedure. This helps minimize/prevent recompiles which allows SQL Server to cache the procedure's execution plan for maximum reuse
