For me, it’s CTE’s. I find it amazing to complete a calculation with clear intermediate steps, and goes a long way towards convincing people to use SQL rather than Excel to perform calculations on large tables of data.

What construct do you like using on a daily basis?

    CTEs are so helpful for me. They make complex queries much easier to construct and lets me ‘unit test’ the parts I’m working on.
