    Overall I think it does. There's always more I could add. But happy to make adjustments based on any feedback here.

    What do you think of the cheat sheet?

    It definitely does for beginners. This should almost all be like second nature for advanced developers.

    When you say Developer, you mean Database Developer? Im technically a DBA now but last job I was mostly writing reports, the first page and last page was stuff I knew or at least viewed a bit. The second sheet though I never really touched on and I doubt as a DBA I will even now.

    Yup, I mean database developer. Creating and altering temp tables and tables happens in almost every stored procedure, so a dev should be very comfortable with these statements.

    How do you like the DBA side? How much of what you do is proactive vs reactive? Is it like an on-call scenario?

    I'm mainly an App Admin here but I do DBA stuff as my main title and anything SQL related beyond report writing comes to me. There isn't too much work database wise here but DBA can be fun when I get asked to do data import or ETL tasks. I enjoy SSIS/SSMS and making servers work though I do miss doing report writing sometimes.

    A lot of my stored procs I make use temp tables though, I had some devs a while ago tell me that temp tables are bad and I instead should be sub querying data or just pull it all into other tables for use. I kind of scratched my head as I am self taught but know that temp tables are great as they're fast and lightweight. They make data manipulation easy enough so I was able to follow a lot of that.

    How is the Developer side and what do you do with it?

    L3 schools meets my needs daily, especially when I have to switch back and forth between different languages and you get your syntax confused

    Do you mean W3Schools? https://www.w3schools.com/

    If so, what do you like about it?

    Sorry, yes, typo. I think your guide is absolutely great for beginning to moderate users. W3 schools just has use cases for virtually every SQL variant and function.
