Refactor, a $295 software add-on to SQL Server Management Studio SQL Server Management Studio is a tool included with SQL Server 2005 for configuring, managing, and administering all components within Microsoft SQL Server. The tool includes both script editors and graphical tools which work with objects and features of the server. that provides "must-have" database refactoring tools for the first time in SQL Server. SQL Refactor allows database professionals to improve their database designs without altering functionality. It takes an instant to perform tasks - including formatting SQL, summarizing scripts, and splitting tables - that were either impossible or took hours of tedious work in the past. Red Gate designed SQL Refactor as a tool that SQL Server professionals will use every day. "We did a lot of research into exactly which database refactorings are 'must have' functions for database professionals," says Andras Belokosztolszki, the architect of SQL Refactor. "It turns out that being able to reformat (1) To change the record layout of a file or database. (2) To initialize a disk over again. SQL code to a preset standard is fantastically popular. That essential feedback led us to build another two dozen customizable formatting options into the application." SQL Refactor includes the following major refactorings: * extensively customizable SQL layout settings * automatic, intelligent object renaming with all dependent references * instant summarization of long and complex scripts or queries * encapsulation (1) In object technology, the creation of self-contained modules that contain both the data and the processing. See object-oriented programming. (2) The transmission of one network protocol within another. of script portions as separate stored procedures * one-click uppercasing of keywords * the ability to split a table into two tables and maintain full referential integrity Like all Red Gate Software products, SQL Refactor is a simple and immediately usable tool that solves common problems faced by Microsoft developers and DBAs. It sits on the toolbar A row or column of on-screen buttons used to activate functions in the application. Many toolbars are customizable, letting you add and delete buttons as required. Toolbars may be fixed in position or may float, which means they can be dragged to a more convenient location in the of Management Studio, making it convenient to use, whether working with SQL Server 2000 or 2005. Unprecedented product passion Extensive beta testing (programming) beta testing - Testing a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected users. This term derives from early 1960s terminology for product cycle checkpoints, first used at IBM but later standard throughout the under Red Gate's unique "relentlessly tested" program has yielded unprecedented enthusiasm for SQL Refactor. "I think this is an indispensable tool," says Andrew J. Kelly, a Microsoft MVP (Multimedia Video Processor) A high-speed DSP chip from Texas Instruments, introduced in 1994. Officially introduced as the TMS320C80, it combines RISC technology with the functionality of four DSPs on one chip. and director of SQL training company Solid Quality Learning.
