Are you planning on adopting Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals when it comes out? I'd be interested in knowing why, or why not, and which bits (eg source control integration / new workflow / unit testing / data generation) are interesting, and which aren't.

bledu,
If you get your hands on it, which bits would you use the most?

I am a developer using mainly SQL backend so this is what i like about the product
------------------
-The new Visual Studio Database Project allows you to import your database schema and place it under source control. - believe me this is good when you have problems with your system and you want to roll back any changes. It has always been easy to roll back the actual problem but with SQL it was always shacky ground.
-Refactoring - this is a God send, sometimes when you are flowing in your coding you come up with some crazy names which you want to change later on.
-SchemaCompare and DataCompare - having used DB compare i think this is another God send, is you use this one very well with the source control in a proper deployment procedure it will help you spend less time in the office over the weekend trying to find a problem.
-The Database Unit Testing
- i haven't really gotten the hang of unit tests but i think this is a good addition in the normal course of things.-DataGenerator - if you have done any database development you dread the moment when you have to test your things and require a significant amount of
data. the other thing is you manage to use proper test data and not live data that has been restored on the test database.and above all it is the familiar Visual Studio Environment
p.s. I have use the m$ website to put things into perspective for me when answering your question.
