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.

Fundamentally, it’s a spiritual establishment for souls.

Founded at the time when the first prophet made the first call.

Continuing as long as the sun rises and the rain falls.

It is not us, it is the Da’wah, the most honorable occupation of all.

PLINQO by CodeSmith

A lot of people have doubts about whether to use LINQ to SQL for real-world applications, especially since Microsoft has encouraged in favor of the new version of the Entity Framework slated for release with .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010.

Recently, I have read the book ASP.NET 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008: Problem Design Solution (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) ~ Vincent Varallo (Author)

This book faithfully follows the very popular Wrox “Problem – Design – Solution” format, evolving chapter by chapter while analyzing business requirements, examining various design scenarios, and implementing a beginning-to-end solution in a reusable framework. The book uses LINQ to SQL for data access. It covers a lot of important material.

The bottom line is that LINQ to SQL is a perfectly viable alternative when you can guarantee that the database will be Microsoft SQL Server (2000 or later). It has support for POCO (persistence ignorance), stored procedures, lazy loading, and concurrency management, and it works well with SOA (n-tier) architectures.

Do I use LINQ to SQL in new projects?

I Do

Microsoft is not going to stop including LINQ to SQL in the .NET framework until they are convinced EF is a good migration target for all the current LINQ to SQL users. That day has not arrived. Therefore, I believe I have plenty of time to be productive with LINQ to SQL before I must make a change.

The question is, “Who is adding new features to LINQ to SQL?” The answer is a product called Plinqo, created by the makers of the code-generation tool, Code Smith. The purpose of Plinqo is to generate LINQ to SQL entities that replace those created when you add a dbml file to a Visual Studio project. In fact, Plinqo will generate the dbml file for you, placing each entity in a separate .cs file under a common folder. Actually, Plinqo creates two files: one for the code-generated entity, and another for your own custom metadata that will not be overwritten by the code-generator (for example, attributes that can drive a dynamic data web site).

While Plinqo generates code that is better organized and easier to read, its power lies in the extensions it provides, such as manager and query classes, a build-in rules engine, audit trail, caching, cloning and detaching entities. It also de-normalizes many-to-many relationships and takes advantage of improvements to the DataContract attributes for .NET 3.5 SP1 (avoiding cyclic references and the need for the “unidirectional” serialization option). In addition, Plinqo will create enums instead of entities for tables with lookup values.

But wait, there’s more! Plinqo has actually enabled batch updates and deletes, eliminating possible round-trips when calling SubmitChanges to process updated entities. Wow, now that is something I had been hoping Microsoft would give us in the next version. But thanks to Plinqo, I won’t have to hold my breath waiting for Microsoft, which has stopped adding new features to LINQ to SQL. Lastly, Plinqo also enables batch queries and the ability to process multiple result sets from stored procedures.

And to top it off, Plinqo has templates to create an ADO.NET Data Services layer that exposes entities via a REST-ful web service. There’s even a quick start template that will create both the service and a dynamic data web client in a matter of seconds.

So before you decide to give up on LINQ to SQL, check out Plinqo to get a fresh option for using LINQ to SQL in real-world applications. They’re even offering a free CodeSmith license if you mention Plinqo in a blog or tweet.
