How IntelliSense for SQL became the productivity tool I didn’t know I needed.

Redgate SQL Prompt is a productivity-focused extension for and Visual Studio that streamlines writing, formatting, and refactoring SQL code. Core Writing & Formatting Features

It allows developers to instantly format messy SQL code into a clean, standardized format based on customizable rules (e.g., capitalization, indentation, placing commas at the start or end of lines).

Highlight a messy IN list → “Expand wildcard” to see every column. Or “Qualify object names” to add schema prefixes to every table/view. Or “Introduce alias” – it re‑writes the query with meaningful aliases. I used to do these by hand during code reviews. Now it’s a few keystrokes.
