SQL Server Crossword #1

by 12 Comments

It’s been ages since I originally posted this way way back when I first started this blog. It proved a popular post back then and so I wanted to share it with all of you new readers.

I’m toying with the idea of making puzzles, games, and quizzes a more regular feature so if this is something that you would like to see more of let me know!

Below you will find a SQL Server themed Crossword for you to complete. Now be warned this is not going to be easy. The only guidance I will offer is that the answers are all SQL Server words that you will be familiar with from your experience as a SQL Server guru.
