SqlAssist is a great Visual Studio add-in that gives you intellisense for SQL scripts. There are versions for both Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005. It's currently still in beta, but very stable - I have yet to see any problems with it. Some of the features are:
- Context aware intellisense.
- Ability to run your SQL scripts right in the IDE.
- Uses it's own text editor that provides several convenience features: Auto-Correct Case as You Type, Comment In/Out, Insert Closing Delimiter, Standard Visual Studio Features.
- Ability to define templates for quick and easy access to code that is used repeatedly.
- SQL pretty formatting.
- An object explorer modeled after the new SQL Server Management Studio explorer.
This is a great tool and most likely one you'll come to depend on. Be sure to check it out.
