Free, good SQL Formatter?
-
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?

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.

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