SqlAssist is to VS SQL text as CodeSmart is to VB 6 code - Wonderful

Wow, what a cool addin for VS 2005 to add Intellisense to your SQL queries!
Check out SqlAssist [via Hannes]
Best of all - it's in beta testing and is free to download!
some of the coolest features:
  • Intellisense for tables, columns  and variables. works on temp tables and aliases just as well
  • Code formatting with changeable rules
  • Templates (like snippets) of SQL code with shortcut macros
  • Char completion - automatically closes '(', single quotes etc. even on selected text
  • Has an object explorer just like the SQL analyzer you know and love, complete with "Script to" ability.
  • Works in VS 2003 and VS 2005

I've tried them both. The only thing PrompSQL has over SqlAssist is that it works with SQL Server Managerment Studio. Other than that, I'd go with SqlAssist... great already, and tons more potential.
