In my previous article, The Complete List of Tools for Microsoft SQL Server , there were many comments in the comments related to the lack of a brief description of each utility for SQL Server.
Here is one of the significant comments:
<And what's the point in such a compilation? It is assumed that the reader clicks on all the utilities in order to understand what each of them is doing? They are here 143 and by name you can understand, God forbid, in 10%. Why not add at least a short description for each utility?
Anticipating the appearance of comments of this kind to this article, I will try to immediately answer them:
- Lists are primarily made purely for personal use, are published in Habré only as a starting point when looking for a convenient tool for working with SQL Server (I personally could not find more detailed and relevant lists who can do it, please let us know in the comments, it will help ).
- A brief description of each extension is in English (see Github ), and yes (answer to the comment above), the reader should call out a good one and choose only what is useful to him.
- If there is a useful tool that is not in the list, then you can always get a pull request on github or just write a comment about it.
- The location of the extensions in the list is made in the order of personal utility, i.e. on top are extensions that are constantly used in the work, below those that are poorly understood.
- All extensions were once downloaded and tested for compatibility with SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014.
The most useful extension in my subjective opinion is SSMSBoost .
If you use SSMS as the main tool for working with SQL Server and have never tried SSMSBoost, immediately install this extension and include it in the list of required for each new developer.
Update 2016-09-02 : Added SqlSmash and Poor Mans T-SQL Formatter
Update 2016-12-12 : Tabs Studio has been added
