SSMS Tools Pack 1.7.5.1 is out. Bug fixes for my international users.

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:00:00 +0100

Due to a bug i haven’t anticipated, a whole load of users with non English SSMS couldn’t install the latest SSMS Tools Pack 1.7.

The SSMS Tools Pack 1.7.5.1 fixes this as well as 1 other major bug that was reported and 3 smaller ones.

The feature list hasn’t changed.

You can simply reinstall 1.7.5.1 over the 1.7.0.0.

If you’re still on 1.5 or less then you’ll have to manually uninstall it and install 1.7.5.1.

You can download the new version here.

Hopefully this will bring back joy to everyone :)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the STP is back to rock your world!

The new feature is SQL Snippets to speed up your development.

This new version brings one completely new option, full GUI redesign, completely rewritten installer, improved error handling and reporting, bug fixes and old features improvements.
Type in the assigned shortcut, press enter or tab and get the snippet you need.
It's quick, clean and saves time!

Some of more visible improved features include:

Completely new installer using the powerful Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset. Now there’s only one MSI installer file for all versions with automatic detection of which versions should be installed.
Improved search in Current Window History.
Added search through views in Search Table/View or Database Data.
Added option to Copy execution plan bitmaps to file.
New features like Automatic web proxy detection and “Log everything” options in General Options.
Improved logging and direct error reporting features using the awesome PostSharp AOP framework.

SSMS 2008 R2 is supported but expect quirks in it due to the CTP status.

Due to a folder naming installer bug in version 1.5 please uninstall any and all previous versions before installing the 1.7 version.

SSMS Tools Pack 1.1 is out

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:00:00 +0200

The new SSMS Tools Pack 1.1 is here!

With this new version you can use it for Sql Server Management Studio 2008 and Sql Server Management Studio 2008 Express.

There are 2 new features.
1. Current window history is a dockable window that show queries executed in a currently active window. There is also a search box at the top that filters results as you type. Also the main Query History Log Viewer has been remodeled. I'm open to suggestions for further improvements.

2. Search through the Database Data. There are times when you'd like to find some value but can't remember in which table it is. Now you can easily do that.

The SSMS Tools Pack does NOT work for SSMS 2005 versions before SP2 anymore.
