    This must have been discussed here many (many many) times, but I still don't know the solution to this. What is the free, good way of formatting SQL queries? I was using http://www.sqlinform.com[^], but it comes with some limitations, like limiting the number of lines in the script. SSMS's Tabify doesn't help. Any tool would you guys would like to suggest?

      There's a forum for these types of questions: Free Tools[^]

        Check this page[^]. I haven't found any limitations, but then again, I haven't searched.

          Not free (bloody expensive but we get the bundle so...) but quite good in Red-Gates SQL Prompt. Integrates into the IDE and you can right click and format either a selected area or an entire script. It also requires that the script is error free which is not a bad thing!

                Because I'm not the only one on the team. I had some stuff neatly formatted, then someone else messed with it.

                  Try http://www.ssmstoolspack.com/[^] Or http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_refactor.aspx[^] Both are free


                  Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
