SQL Complete – free SQL autocomplete tool
dbForge SQL Complete is a free add-in for Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) that replaces built-in IntelliSense® with more powerful autocomplete features to speed up typing of T-SQL queries and brings more comfort as well as productivity to your work.
Besides extending List Members, Complete Word and Parameter Info features, SQL Complete adds SQL Formatter to enrich the developer toolkit and provide the fastest T-SQL query typing ever possible.
What does it mean for you?
List Members
You do not have to remember the names of objects in your database. When typing SQL statements, you will see a list of objects from the selected database or schema, names of table columns, and even keywords matching the context.
Complete Word
Instead of typing the whole database object name, you can just type first several characters. If SQL Complete finds only one match, it automatically inserts it to complete the word.
Parameter Info
When calling any built-in or user-defined function in your query, you can see a hint with information about the function and parameters it requires.
SQL Formatter
You can effortlessly get all your SQL code formatted based on one or another style. It takes only to set required rules by using a wide selection of formatting options. SQL Complete automatically formats SQL statements paying attention to case, line breaks, whitespaces, indenting, wrapping, etc.
Why is SQL Complete better than SSMS native IntelliSense®?
One of the main reasons to choose SQL Complete is that it provides Intellisense for SQL Server 2000, 2005, 2008, regardless of SSMS versions. Native intellisense does not work with those SQL Server versions that differ from your SMSS version. For example, SQL Server Management Studio 2008 will work with SQL Server 2008 only.
Is this not enough? Or are you still asking a reasonable question, “Why should I need a third-party tool besides the standard intellisense functionality?” Look at the feature comparison matrix and decide.
