Last week, a friend told me about this new product available for free from Red Gate Software, SQL Prompt. Since then, I've seen several blogs talking about it.
What is it?
Basically, it's Intellisense for SQL Server. So when you start typing "SELECT * FROM", it automatically pops up a window with the available tables, fields, functions, etc. It also reacts just like Visual Studio (Ctrl-Space opens the window, Tab places the selected entry, etc.) and has a ton of options (just open the Options window from the System Tray).
I thought it would only work in Query Analyzer, but nope, it works in Enterprise Manager, Management Studio, Visual Studio and even some 3rd party apps. I downloaded it myself and installed it. I've tested it with SQL Server 2000 and 2005 and it's great. Check it out and get it while it's free (until Sept 1st)!
