SET NOCOUNT ON usage

Question

Inspired by this question where there are differing views on SET NOCOUNT...

Should we use SET NOCOUNT ON for SQL Server? If not, why not?

Answer 1

I know it's pretty old question. but just for update.

Best way to use "SET NOCOUNT ON" is to put it up as a first statement in your SP and setting it OFF again just before the last SELECT statement.
