Features include :

  • Table/View name completion

  • Stored procedure name completion
  • USE completion
  • JOIN/JOIN ON completion
  • Auto-uppercasing of keywords

I will be swearing at this in 6 months when I need to write some queries, and I don't have intellisense available. :)

Very cool.

Minor annoyance

On May 24th, 2006 Eric Means says:

The only annoyance I've discovered with it so far is that it has its own authentication dialog, rather than picking up the authentication from your current session, and it's pretty minor indeed.

Otherwise it performs well and has some nice options for autoformatting (automatic uppercasing of keywords, automatic bracket-quoting of table/column names, automatic picking up on foreign keys for use in join statements, etc).
