Why? Because most of the queries, the CUD part of CRUD, can be built completely through generation. There’s a small market on code generators for SQL Server. Mind you, I’m not going right to the coolest stuff. If I leave out your favorite function, there’s your chance to post a comment or write up an article of your own. So, with the full set of functionality in front of me, I’m going to cover the stuff that I find cool or intriguing. Because it covers so much different functionality trying to find a handle for how to approach the evaluation isn’t entirely simple. There’s a shocking amount of functionality built into this piece of software. Upon restarting SSMS, the tools loaded right up. I didn’t get any error messages, but when I went to SSMS I also didn’t see any of the new tools available. On the Denali instance, I had SQL Server Management Studio open when I did the install.
I tried the install on a 2008R2 instance and on a Denali instance and didn’t have any troubles with it whatsoever. Did I mention that this is free software and that Mladen doesn’t really want to know who you are in order to supply you with it?Īfter you launch the installer, it will recognize what version of SQL Server you have installed on your desktop. No registration, no email address, no home phone, none of the standard stuff that you have to supply in order to get a piece of software. Here is the exhaustive list of actions and requirements to download the software: I downloaded it the first day it was available. When I heard that a whole new version was becoming available, I couldn’t wait to try it out. In fact, SSMS Tools Pack will quickly become one of those pieces of software that you won’t want to live without. It works with SQL Server versions from 2000 to Denali and it does everything that it does working directly within SSMS so you can stay well and truly inside your comfort zone, developing with the toolset that you’re used to. That’s right, SSMS Tools Pack is a free piece of software that patches over a lot of the little cracks in SSMS (although I’m certain that Mladen wouldn’t mind contributions if you really love his work). Then he went one step farther, he let the rest of us have it too. Except unlike the rest of us, instead of sitting around moaning about how the software doesn’t do this or that for me, Mladen just started building it for himself. You know all those little things that make you crazy when you’re developing in SQL Server Management Studio? Those pieces of functionality that you just can’t understand why Microsoft didn’t just include it? Stuff like generating a set of CRUD statements (Create, Read, Update Delete), or running custom scripts right from the SSMS GUI, or even a way to analyze execution plans rather than read through them? Yeah, Mladen Prajdic felt exactly the same way. SSMS Tools Pack 2.0 - Simple Talk Skip to content
