Autogenerated SQL constraint names - why to avoid them

Read Original

This article argues against using SQL Server's autogenerated constraint names (like 'PK__Constrai__3214EC271FCDBCEB'). It details how manually naming constraints (e.g., 'PK_MyTable') simplifies database maintenance, makes update scripts safer and easier to manage, and reduces risk during deployments, especially in automated or CI/CD environments.
