Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition Power Tools

Data Generator Improvements
• New Data Generator Wizard – This new wizard creates a data generation plan that is configured to copy data from a source database. You can use this wizard when you need to copy most of your data from a live source, but need to make small changes to ensure privacy.

MSBuild Task Improvements
• SqlAnalysis Task – You can use this build task to run T-SQL Static Code Analysis from MSBuild.

TSQL Static Code Analysis
• Static Code Analysis – A precursor to the functionality that will be in future versions of VSTS that will allow you to perform Static Code Analysis on T-SQL code.

Refactoring
• “Move Schema” Refactoring – Allows a user to right click on an object and move it to a different but existing schema
• SP Rename Generation – Generate a new script that will contain sp_renames for all rename refactored objects that the user can then execute.
• Wildcard Expansion – Automatically expand the wildcard in a select to the appropriate columns.
• Fully-Qualified Name Support – Automatically inject fully-qualified names when absent in a script
• Refactoring extended to Dataset – Refactor into strongly typed dataset definitions

MSBuild Tasks
• Data / Schema Compare Build Tasks – MSBuild tasks that can generate scripts as if the user had run the Data / Schema compare UI

Schema View
• API Access to Schema View – Insert / Update / Delete to schema View and list schema objects and their associated files
