Everything you need for database administration

We use DB Forge for our daily work with SQL Server. Especially when developing database applications, DB Forge makes a great contribution.

PROS

DB Forge is an almost complete tool when it comes to SQL database administration and development. Especially the numerous functions around the editing of data or the creation of scripts is excellently solved.

CONS

It would be great if there would be automation for generating (CRUD)-code snippets for for example C#, vb.net etc. besides the classic T-SQL scripts.

Reason for choosing SQL Complete

More features, better price.

Reasons for switching to SQL Complete

More performance, less costs

Speed improvement

PROS

Overall usage. It provides what I needed for SQL scripts development.

CONS

Because I'm running on Windows 11 ARM (Mac VM), adding SQL Complete on top of SSMS slows it down dramatically. If there is Studio for SQL Server in ARM version, then I would consider to upgrade to that.

Reasons for switching to SQL Complete

SQL Prompt by Red Gate. The price is important factor for me.

Decent software - updates often break functionality

PROS

I use SQL complete mostly for its tab coloring, code completion and suggestion functionality. It does a decent job.

CONS

-Updates often break existing functionality. I've had to revert to previous version a couple of times. -Support is responsive but often not helpful. Have an issue with code outlining disappearing. After constant back and forth, I finally sent videos of the issue that proves that the issue goes away when i uninstall SQLComplete. I've not heard back from support

SQL Complete - Intellisense PLUS!

I have been a SQL Complete user since 2012 and I have had very, very few issues with the application. It has always been part of my daily tool-kit when writing SQL. The application is constantly being improved, fixes and updates are delivered in a timely fashion and the company stands behind its product. I hope to keep using it until I retire !

PROS

The main reason I use SQL Complete is the smart auto-complete and intellisense that is the foundation of the product. I also use the SQL Formatter quite often and the Execution History function has saved me many times, countless hours of work when I needed to recall a query that I did not save.

CONS

I can honestly say that there is nothing I dislike about SQL Complete, for the reasons I use it for. It works perfectly for my work.

SQL Complete is a must for Frequent SSMS users

Overall I would recommend to anyone that is a data engineer or is constantly coding in a database editor like SSMS.

PROS

The ease to create custom snippets. I also love that you can customize the formatting. It really helps with keeping everything consistent and easy to read. I find that it takes me have the time to open existing procedures, creating new ones. Hovering over a table name and getting its fields is really useful. So is getting the description of functions and what parameters are needed. It really saves time when developing.

CONS

Little things like when you update the product if you editted an existing snippet you have to go back and re edit it. And it can be pricey if you don't use SSMS all the time.
