Improve code quality as-you-type

Avoid last-minute rework by writing error-free code by default. Smart code completion reduces syntax errors, while real-time code analysis and auto-fixes debugs code. Tab coloring helps keep your changes in the right environment, and refactoring helps you to confidently optimize your queries, code objects and databases.

    The essential tool for serious SQL Server database development. Don't use SSMS without it.

    I use SQL Prompt constantly. I refuse to work without it. It has become so engrained in muscle memory. Snippets save me so much time. My favorite thing is how it enforces consistency, such that I can take any SQL code written by anyone and format it to be clean and understandable instantly.
