Favourite development tools

  • Hello all,

    I'll be starting a new position shortly and each time I do I like to review my toolset for any handy software that I may not be using. Here is a list of my favourites - does anyone have any others to add or any comments?

    SQL Server Management Studio - free is good!

    TOAD for SQL Server - disclaimer: I am on the Quest Expert Panel

    WinMerge - for comparing edits on different text file versions, free, open source

    AdeptSQL Diff - for comparing databases such as dev to qa to production

    SourceGear Vault - source control for all SQL scripts, free for single user accounts

    Regards,
    Michael Lato

  • I'd suggest the Red Gate Tool Belt for SQL Server. Great stuff, Data compare, SQL compare, SQL Prompt...
