Finally, after 4 years of pain and suffering, Programming SQL Server 2005 has finally been shipped to the printer. Should be out in stores in about a month or less. Wow.

Red Gate has released SQL Prompt 2.0, a pretty cool auto-complete and Intellisense for SQL Server Management Studio and Query Analyzer. The best part: t is FREE! Download it here.

When you load it up and connect to a database, it will ask you to connect.

Now when you are typing code in SQL you have real auto-complete and Intellisense!

Whenever the Dutch put on a conference, things get a little crazy. Luckily you can listen in on some of the fun on .NET Rocks as well as Mondays.

My red light district story is 21 minutes in to the .NET Rocks, just don't tell my mom....
