“SQL Dependency Tracker is an invaluable tool. We are building a portal from the ground up, and having this tool allows us to comb through the many layers of dependencies with relative ease before deciding on how to best structure the database. I have used Redgate tools for years and will continue to do so.”

Doug Shontz, Senior Database Administrator, AdvancED

“Removing deprecated objects, consolidating stored procedures, altering database objects... I tackle all of them with SQL Dependency Tracker”

Michael Stoop, Database Developer, Calvi

“SQL Dependency Tracker allows me to do something I never thought possible: I can actually see my database – in all its awesome complexity.”

“SQL Dependency Tracker is simply one of the best SQL Server tools I've ever used. It's incredibly easy to use.”

“I love this program. I am considering naming my first child Redgate Weese! I thought SQL Dependency Tracker Weese was probably too long.”
