mssqlXpress is the latest full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) for MS SQL. You can develop your databases using one powerful application. If you are an MS SQL developer, your life could be a lot easier from now on! THE PROBLEM: MS SQL developers complain about the limited features of Query Analyser and Enterprise Manager: --I can never remember the names of tables, fields and variables. --I have to keep typing the same blocks of code and can't remember where to copy it from. --I had to do a small operation to 50 procedures. Repeating all of the keystrokes really drove me crazy. --It is annoying to have to switch between two applications all the time and only have one editing window! --How can I test this code without damaging the database? --Where can I keep my housekeeping code snippets? --I wiped out a block of code from a procedure last week and wish I still had it. --Using Visual SourceSafe is so tedious that I can't guarantee that my developers will use it every time. Losing version control could be a nightmare. THE SOLUTION: mssqlXpress has an answer for all of these problems: Managing versions: --View and switch back to any version of any object --Instantly connect to Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Creating and testing code: --Execute an object or a block of code from the editor and then undo --Store your informal scripts (code snippets) with the database project --Write procedures without needing to DROP Editing with great time-saving features: --Pick table, field and variable names from 'intellisense' lists as you type --Edit objects using multiple windows --Drag and drop or copy and paste code between windows --Instantly duplicate an object --Insert blocks of code or templates using short names ('Auto-complete') --Record and play back a keyboard macro --Search for text within a database --Building queries visually or with SQL --Editing table structure and data
