Extending Management Studio

In SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Manager was rewritten and renamed to Management Studio. If ISVs (independent software vendors) could plug their SQL Server tool(s) into Management Studio – creating a single environment for you to work in – which tools do you use that you’d like to see surfaced in Management Studio.

    I think it would be cool to have PromptSQL integrated into Management Studio to give SQL Intellisense inside Management Studio :-)

    But then I would say that.

    Could we get the Query Analyzer from SS 2000
    Please.

    RedGates SQL Compare and Data Compare tools would be very helpful for those of us that manage seperate Dev, UAT and Production enviroments.

    Sessionless analysis of current operations available in Quest's Spotlight.  It was explained to me as directly analysing the memory (whitesapaces) being used by SQL Server.

    Hi Paul,

    That's a slightly different question than what I'm asking, however, it is very relevant. Let's chat as I'd love to get your list - you can reach me at dan.jones@microsoft.com.

    Cheers,

    DBGhost by Innovartis.

    It would be extremely nice to be able to compile, check in, and check out changes on the fly from within SQLMS.

    Also, IntelliSense would be very nice.  Apex SQL Edit has their own, however I like the VS / SQLMS interface better.

    With respect to QA 2000, what is lacking in SSMS 2005 that you would want added

    G'day Dan.

    Are you asking which elements of the Management Studio we would like to see exposed to extensibility If so, I have a list! ;-) I am an ISV start-up with a potentially "killer app" (aren't they all lol) and the lack of extensibility is crippling...

    Thanks for the feedback. IntelliSense is soemthing we're looking into. A different group owns this so I don't know the latest for it. Its addition would improve greatly productivity.
