"Enhances productivity a ton"

5/5

What do you like best about SQL Toolbelt Essentials?

SQL console is amazing, and reduces writing queries by a huge margin. You can type things like ssf (Select * from) or ii{tablename} (insert into tablename) and it prepares the query for you. It adds all the columns into the first part of the insert script and provides all the datatypes for the values. It's absolutely amazing and I don't how I've lived without it.

What do you dislike about SQL Toolbelt Essentials?

It's really expensive. The licensing is going to be something that's going to be a tough sell for some companies. It was for me, and I'm unfortunately no longer able to use it due to costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SQL Toolbelt Essentials solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm not sure where to start! SQL Prompt speeds my development, SQL Compare speeds my integration, SQL Data Compare has helped countless times in finding differences between development databases... and that just scratches the surface of what the Toolbelt comes with! Integration with Source Control is the latest use we've had for it, which is again quite seamless, and works so well out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
