Any plans to integrate SQL Refactor within VSTE for DBPro?

Wyatt70

Is Red-Gate planning to integrate SQL Refactor into Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals? I sure hope so. I have a lot of existing databases which I am migrating into VSTE. A lot of the code within these databases needs to be cleaned up, and I like to use SQL Refactor to do a "quick and dirty" refactoring. In order to do this, I have to script out the code into Management Studio, use SQL Refactor, and then copy the refactored code into VSTE. It would be great if I could just use one development environment to do everything.

Just my two cents.

Hi Wyatt70,

Your two cents are very welcome . We are just starting to look at what to put into the next version of SQL Refactor. Integration of the product into other editors is on the list of things we may to do, but we still debating it. I will add your request to the list for the future.

Sounds great that you're considering "what next" in SQL Refactor , I am a great fan

I requested a while back inclusion for VS 2005 , since SQL Prompt now supports VS2005 , its even more pertinent as I spend most of my time in VS 2005 and then have to go into to Management Studio to "pretty up" my SQL

I think there would a lot of support for a request like this ??

I suppose the other aspect is a request through the forum for suggestions on formatting styles , I have seen a few over the months , but an impending release should concentrate the mind maybe

Hi Mike

You vote for VS2005 support has been noted. I cannot say for sure how many extra platforms we will support. We are still in a pre-planing stage at the moment, but there are a lot of discussions going on regarding SQL Refactor and forum opinions are always taken into account.
