To all,
We are looking at purchasing a SQL Code Authoring tool. We've looked at RapidSQL, MssqlXpress and AdeptSQL. Are there any others that we should look at?

Hi Diane,

I haven't got in touch with the products you've mentioned, but in my opinion, why spent money on something while QA is free and extendable?

Cheers,

Frank

Oops, forget to mention, that I use another 'tool' for SQL authoring. MS VC++

Well, yes, QA is free, but hey, if my company will spend the money, what the heck!!

We are looking for something with VSS intergration - RapidSQL and MssqlXpress both do this. Also, we need comparision abilities too, like SQLCompare by Red-Gate.

yes, that's right. It's not your money, and at the same moment it is!

Once I've mentioned this argument to my boss No.1.

Guess what, I had undergo an endless monologue about entrepreneurial thinking and that all employee must strictly think in this way as if it was their own money to spent.

So, ask yourself if you want to spent this money and if the answer is YES, go and buy it before this decision is cancelled.

BTW, if it really is my money, I wouldn't spent that much on taking business friends on golf trips and things like that like top management is used to. But I'm only a small employee who lacks this kind of long sight these persons normally have

Cheers,

Frank
