如果使用SQL Server2005的Express版本时，不可避免需要使用SQL Server Management Express Edition。而2005版本之前的管理器中书写SQL、查找字符、格式化SQL等都觉得不好使。这两天网上看到了两个工具，可以加强SQL Server Management Express Edition的功能。
1 Red Gate的SQL Prompt。可以看一下blog

It contains a few upgrades to the IDE that I thought were missing from the Management Studio:
- Uppercase/Lowercase keywords.
- Run one script on multiple databases.
- Copy execution plan bitmaps to clipboard.
- Search Results in Grid Mode and Execution Plans.
- Generate Insert statements for a single table, the whole database or current resultsets in grids.
- Query Execution History (Soft Source Control).
- Text document Regions and Debug sections.
- Running custom scripts from Object explorer's Context menu.
- CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) stored procedure generation.
- New query template.
在Vista安装时可能出现：外接程序“SQL Server Management Studio Express Tools Pack”未能加载或导致了异常。错误号: 80040154。
解决：使用setup.exe安装，所有用户环境下使用。
