#REDGATE SQL TOOLBELT 2019 UPDATE#
It integrates with Management Studios and whatever source control you have set up, so now you can commit changes from Management Studios after you make changes to the database, instead of having to go into VS and update the scripts and then deploy. I’ll also admit that I love me a user interface to create a database instead of writing scripts. I’ll admit it, I hate having Visual Studios open if I don’t need to. I haven’t gotten around to playing with this tool. I look forward to testing this tool though when the time comes for it. With the databases/applications that we work on we typically have a source of data that’s going into the database. This is another tool that I haven’t really had a need to use. I understand the use of this tool, but I haven’t really had a need for it, so it’s gone overlooked for now. I highly recommend this for any DBA, or any dev house that doesn’t have a dedicated DBA. Sadly I haven’t been able to get licenses to let me monitor every server I have. I was able to quickly figure everything out though, and it even helped me avert a couple of crisis. I had so much data on my servers that I literally didn’t know where to start. I got to play with SQL Monitor for a while with it installed on my local machine, and it was pretty awesome. Great tool for those managing backups on multiple servers. The only gripe I’ve got is that I can’t zoom out past a couple of days to see the whole week.

This tool allows me to add of my servers and track the backups. I’ve got several servers that I’m backing up. I have all of my backups scheduled in SQL Server via maintenance plans and jobs. It’s a great tool for anyone that has to do any sort of database validation, or just needs to document their database. The other neat part is that if you use SQL Compare the documentation gets pushed to your test and dev servers (assuming you do your documentation on your dev server first). So what that means is that if you manage to lose your SQL Doc project, all you have to do is reconnect to the database with SQL Doc and voila! You’ve got all of your documentation back. You can then make remarks on different parts of the object, and it then saves those remarks in the database in extended properties. It allows you to connect to a database and it presents you with all of the objects in the database.

#REDGATE SQL TOOLBELT 2019 CODE#
The fact that you can set up your own custom way of formatting sql and then just hit a keystroke to format what’s on the screen is worth the price of admission (and pain), especially if you’re working on old code that’s not formatted at all. It sometimes has a mind of its own, but once you get used to it it’s a great utility to have when you’re writing new scripts or modifying old ones. SQL Prompt is the one tool that I’ve had rounds with. A great time saver and a great investment.Īnother tool that I haven’t gotten to play with. SQL Dependency Track is a very interesting tool, and is a life saver on complicated databases, because when you need to make a change to a table you can find exactly which views, sps, etc. This is a must if you prefer updating your test and dev data with what’s in production.

I now no longer have to manually create scripts to copy any data, and I no longer have to move around backups. It allows me to compare the data between two databases on the same server or different servers, script the difference, and then copy and paste the script to the target.

SQL Data Compare has saved me so much time since we’ve gotten it that it probably pays for the entire license for the SQL Toolbelt in a year. Out of all of the tools, this is the one that I’d recommend the most. Now I just back up the database, do a sql compare, and run the script that’s generated. Before we got SQL Compare I was manually creating scripts to copy data down from prod/test, creating backups, then copying and restarting from the backups to push changes to test/prod. This is the tool that I primarily had my eyes on when I first started asking for the SQL Toolbelt, and I’ve loved it ever since. Here’s my quick review of the SQL Toolbelt
#REDGATE SQL TOOLBELT 2019 SOFTWARE#
So far I’ve been fairly impressed with every piece of software provided by Redgate. But with the current push we’re making with trying to straighten out our processes I’ve been playing with everything to get a feel for how they work and if I want to actually use them. So I’ve had Redgate’s SQL Toolbelt for about a year now, but up until recently I hadn’t used most of the tools available to me.
