Script Toolbox

  • Hello Friends,

    While reading another post about whether you should leave your script are your past employer or taking them with you, I was wondering what do you use for keeping your personal Script Library.

    Do you just use an old fashioned approach of keeping everything on a folder and name it something meaningful, or do you have some kind of free software to organize your Script/CodeSnippet Library?

    I have been using the old fashion way. Folders within folders and organized by topic: Backups tools, Space Issues, Performance Issues, etc.

    The problem is that sometimes a script may belong to several folders and if I update/improve the script, I end up with several versions... As my library grows, it's been harder to keep it clean.

    Suggestions?

  • Like you i use a system of folders that a split in to categories, Performance, indexing etc

  • PS i also have several version of each script but i name and version control them accordingly like company,customer,scriptname,version

  • I've started using the code snippet manager built into SQL Prompt. Not only does it make it easy to store the things, but I can put a quick key on them to retrieve them.

  • I use My TiddlyWiki[/url]. It takes a minute to get used to how to organize things (you create subfolders by entering [[subfoldername]] into the body-text-box of your heading. I have it on my USB flash drive and can use it anywhere. It's worth a look if you're interested. I'll be happy to answer any questions about it if you happen to have any and I'm able. 😉

  • I use SQL projects and a single solution. I then load them all into source control.

  • Folders for me, sync'd to DropBox.

  • I also use Microsoft's OneNote. Too bad I don't have it at home, because you can set it up to access it anywhere via the net, I belive. You can also share it with others and lock-down what you don't want them to see.
