VS2005 - Generate Change Script

 It’s always fun when you just stumble upon a new feature.  This morning I found in Server Explorer if you are editing a table definition that there is a button in the toolbox labeled Generate Change Script.  Since I’m way to curios to not push it I did and to my surprise popped up a dialog with the necessary database script to effect the change I was making to the table. 

It’s no where near the capabilities of Red Gate’s SQL Tools, but it is a cool feature!

That feature was in SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager.

On the flip side.. I use Red Gate's Tools as well and they save me a ton of time. The scripts those tools create are immaculate as well.
