I cannot find anything that states that it has become mandatory, but I did find someone claiming that the BOL for SQL 2008 (not R2) stated that it was going to become mandatory in future releases.Reason for my question is my concerns over technical debt in our environment, and trying to convince my technical and management teams that it would be a good thing to implement now (instead of later) to get out DEVS use to it before it becomes mandatory (we currently are on 2005, planning to move to 2008 R2, and I know it is not mandatory in either of those versions/editions, but would like to implement this best practice now, but need to know if it has become mandatory in 2012).Thank you in advance!SQL_ME_RICH
