    What are you looking for a replacement for?  i.e.  What features are you wanting that QA doesn't provide?



    Good Hunting!

    I have been using ApexSQL Edit for several months.

    It has some very handy additions that make writing sql easier (such as intellisense).

    There are still times that I use QA, but they are usually when I must generate standard INSERT/DELETE or UPDATE sql for a table, procedure or function and then I copy/paste that into ApexSQL Edit to manipulate it.

    If you'd like to stick with Query Analyzer then you might want to check out PromptSQL which adds SQL Intellisense-like autocompletion to QA:
