SQL Server 2008 Features for SQL Server 2005

  • Hi Folks,

    While working with SSMS 2008, I see there are good features of programing like auto completion of object names (Tables, database, views and others) also it has a good grouping logic. So, wondering is there a way to include same format to SSMS 2005 ?

    Programing would be easy with these features ?

    Any comments would be good

  • There are some third party tools which support that, one being from the sponsor of this site, Red-Gate. The tool is called SQL Prompt. Haven't used any others so I don't know if they exist or not. πŸ™‚

  • Could be a good one πŸ™‚ But I am looking for free stuff ;). My company wont pay for this πŸ˜€

    Thanks,

  • Nothing free that I'm aware of. SQL Prompt is pretty inexpensive though. It's got a real return on investment with the speed you can realize in writing TSQL code. You might want to explore it a bit. You can download a free demo.

  • Thanks for the update. There is notepad++, this tool has no connectivity with database, still a very good free tool for organizing.

    Thanks,
