SQL Server (RSS)
In January 2007 I complained about the support for renaming fields in VS Tools for DB Professionals. It looks they have a good solution for it in their latest CTP (look in the Refactoring section). I did not find time to install VS2008 SP1 beta in a VM...
I've used ADO.NET synchronization framework in an internal project and had to give a presentation about it in the local Visual Studio 2008 Launch. I'm quite impressed with it and with the whole MS synchronization story. The usual demo basically implies...
Frans rants about paging support in SQL Server. I obviously agree with him. The good thing is that given that MS is working in a couple of O/R mappings products, they are probably facing the same challenges we face. As that the Entity Framework is built...

The new VS for DB Professionals supports generating test data for your data model. For each column, you can specify the Generator you want to use, and you have a bunch of predefined ones (numbers in a range, strings that comply with a regular expression...
Last week we released DeKlarit 4.0 . I won't post the new feature list here, as you can read it in the website . What I will do is tell you about my favorite new features ;). Gaston built a great platform-independent layout editor . We can now generate...
SQL Server Mobile 2005 can be run in any Win32 box, but the licensing terms only let you use in Pocket PCs and Tablet PCs. This kind of licensing stuff is quite annoying for developers, that don't like 'artificial' constraints when using software products...
