nowadays and no longer a regular TSQL practitioner (as well as the grey cells quickly dying off )
I find the following useful......I know that it can be done, but cannot immediately recall the correct method
so

But probably the most common: DELCARE left left left backspace left C 😛In that case, mine would be SEELCT left left backspace left L :hehe:
Interesting. My "favorite" typo is SLEECT, yours is SEELCT. I am pretty sure that psychologists could have a field day with this... :crazy:
Mine if FORM instead of FROM. I think we all have them.
You're all weird.
I type 'de' space and get 'DECLARE'.
I type 'ssf' space and get 'SELECT * FROM'.
It's almost like you don't have Prompt installed...
Oh....
Never mind.

I do. All my colleagues and clients, whose machines I end up working on from time to time while helping/consulting, not so much.
And you've changed snippets. de <space> gets me DEALLOCATE (which I use so very, very, very often)

Sorry. Send in a complaint. They'll fix it. Or you can locally (pain, I know).

I do have Prompt installed (on my own laptop, not on most client systems).
I do not use its snippets function. I am now at the age where trying to memorize all the shortcuts would take me more effort than the keystrokes to correct my typos (which are all firmly embedded in muscle memory by now).
In fact, I have disabled its snippets function because when I whip together a quick example to test something, I like to use one- or two-letter table and column names. Which Prompt would then promptly interpret as a snippet shortcut and expand. AAARRRGGHHHH!!!!

In my case, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE AND INSERT

Never mind T-SQL, I have just spent a very happy hour testing my memory! Result : must be getting old. Got eaten by a grue! Thanks for that, Eric:-)

Thanks for getting this going, Grant. It is one of the best and most entertaining threads I've seen in a while.
My two bits:
-- Desperately trying to find a foreign key in an undocumented database
select table_name,column_name,data_type from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where COLUMN_NAME like '%X%'
-- Most common typos
delect -- not my fault they put the d by the s
groupo -- go figure
transactioni -- maybe I was Italian in a previous life

When I want to make sure that my query tuning measurements are not impacted by the time it takes SSMS to render the results, I often redirect the results to a temporary table. And I have a standard name for that table too:
SELECT (something)
INTO #Oblivion
FROM (etc)

Glad to see I'm not the only one with Morecambe's fingers (all the right notes...)!
I often use #transient for temp results
forgot these too:
SET STATISTICS TIME ON & OFF
SET STATISTICS IO ON & OFF
And this is becoming more frequent (cheers Jeff)
DECLARE @measure DATETIME2 = SYSDATETIME()
...
SELECT DATEDIFF(ms, @measure, SYSDATETIME())

I've seen #MyHead several times before, but never INTO #Oblivion. Nice! 😛
