SQL Server Management Studio Tools

We all know how administering SQL Server instances is a job for professional users who have both the knowledge and befitting tools. The problem is that even the most well known professional tools for the job, like SQL Server Management Studio, still doesn't have all the necessary tools you may need to carry out these tasks at full efficiency. SQL Server Management Studio Tools 2019 is designed as an add-on for the  SQL Server Management Studio, providing it with a few extra tools.

Once you're connected to an SQL Server instance, the schemas for each database are displayed in a tree view in the Object Explorer and can be easily browsed, however, the extension makes the display process far more efficient. One of the biggest challenges when dealing with databases is grid management, as you can get lost in all the data and be prone to miss-clicking or miss-selection. That is why one of the main additions of this extension is the ability to perform grid searches, with both advanced extended and regular expression. This is made easy through the use of the grid search highlights feature, grid style markers, grid export to JSON, Excel XML and grid image capture.

The integrated SQL editor of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio features syntax highlighting, allowing you to write scripts and execute them against a database. You can work on multiple scripts at the same time, each opened in a separate tab. SQL Server Management Studio Tools adds the ability to perform total formatting of the SQL code.

The base program is in no way designed for beginners, and the same can be said about SQL Server Management Studio Tools 2019 as well. However, those of you that know their way around SQLmanagementanagemnt will definitely find this tool useful.
