Perl getopts FAQ: Can you demonstrate how to use the getopts function? (Also written as, "Can you demonstrate how to read Perl command line arguments?")

• Whenever you know that the column, or combination or columns, makes a unique key for a nonclustered index, I always recommend that you specify UNIQUE when you create the index. That information is great for the optimizer to have when generating query plans.

• Think carefully about the impact of your clustering key on your nonclustered indexes. Any non-unique nonclustered index will be larger (more pages, eventually more levels) because the entire clustering key will be in the tree level.

• If you have a clustering key with a column (or multiple columns) that are frequently modified, then those modifications have to be propagated to the tree levels of the nonclustered indexes as well.

• Specifying type attributes in these contexts is not necessary as HTML5 implies text/css and text/javascript as defaults. This can be safely done even for older browsers.

• Use Action Verbs (not generic yes/no)
• Use Precise Diction (Remove vs. Delete)
• Use Task-Specific Language (Publish vs Submit)
• Use the Active Imperative Form (Read Details vs Click Here for Details)
• Use Sentence-Style Capitalization (Friendlier than Title Case)

Comment:
If you test people on an app the first time they use it, Title Case will slow you down, just as it probably did just now. However, it is much easier to see the shape of Title Case text in buttons than sentence case buttons.
