I’ve been using PromptSQL since shortly after it was first released. It took me less than an hour of using it to realize that $25 for the softeware was a bargain. I’ve been happily upgrading with each realease and watched a good program get better. Then suddenly when I went to the web site I saw that Red-Gate Software had purchased PromptSQL. I fully expected a new version and significant price increase (the software really was a bargain at $25). I just noticed today that Red-Gate has surprised me and released a new version (2.0) of the now renamed SQL Prompt and are offering it free until September. Way to go Red-Gate!
If you are not familiar with PromptSQL (now SQL Prompt) it is foremost intellisense like autocompletion within SQL. One of the features that really sets it apart from competitors is that the single program works in Query Analyzer, SQL Server Management Studio, VS2003, VS2005, Enterprise Manager, UltraEdit and EditPlus 2. Since I use several of those tools I now get the same autocompletion in all of them. Totally awesome.
It’s free so you have no excuse. Go download it now and try it out.
