From a purely performance stand-point, we'd almost certainly want to process Countries prior to it being JOINed:
SELECT A.City_Name, B.Country_Code, B.Country_Area
FROM Cities A
INNER JOIN (

I'd think you'd definitely want to use LTRIM() and RTRIM() to make sure you get rid of extraneous spaces. I added ISNULL(NULLIF(...)...) just in case there isn't a dash...

If you can live with only a three-char month, you can remove the STUFF() function. If you need to have the full month name, you'll need the STUFF() part...

I admit, I name all constraints myself, including DEFAULTs, even though for DEFAULTs that may be deprecated.

I agree with others, particularly on ISNULL(). In fact, there's a simple, very easy to remember rule:
NEVER use ISNULL() in a WHERE or JOIN clause.
If, as is typical, the...

Is there a way via T-SQL to check or read information from a stored procedure? Ie, could I add a comment with a build number in it?
I suggest...
