Optimization Tips:

Use views and stored procedures instead of heavy-duty queries.
Try to use constraints instead of triggers, whenever possible.
Use table variables instead of temporary tables.
Try to use UNION ALL statement instead of UNION, whenever possible.
Try to avoid using the DISTINCT clause, whenever possible.
Try to avoid using SQL Server cursors, whenever possible.
Try to avoid the HAVING clause, whenever possible.
If you need to return the total table's row count, you can use alternative way instead of SELECT COUNT(*) statement.
Include SET NOCOUNT ON statement into your stored procedures to stop the message indicating the number of rows affected by a T-SQL statement.
Use the select statements with TOP keyword or the SET ROWCOUNT statement, if you need to return only the first n rows.

Hi Amit,

It is a technique to tune your query in such a way, so it processes your request faster while interacting with database.
