ApexSQL Complete

Often overlooked by developers, add-ins can significantly improve productivity and speed up the development process. ApexSQL Complete is such a small utility, which deploys an auto-completion add-in for Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio, providing fill-in suggestions as you type.

Auto-completion add-in for Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio

It seamlessly integrates with Visual Studio versions from 2005 to 2013 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to 2014, placing a new menu that you can use to configure its behavior.
Its purpose is to allow auto-completion of keywords, identifiers, and statements, filling in known words to save time and increase efficiency. The add-in opens up suggestion menus (hint lists) as you type, enabling you to quickly insert columns, statements, procedures, tables, clauses, queries, or object names, also working with encrypted objects.
Auto-completed words can be automatically formatted in upper, lower or proper case. You can also configure the formatting style of generated aliases.

Enhance productivity with a generous toolset

The add-in makes it possible for you to view an object's description and definition, as well as details regarding any SQL identifier. To highlight identifiers, you can configure ApexSQL Complete to enclose them with brackets. Another handy feature is its ability to automatically insert closing characters, ensuring that their number matches the number of opened ones.
ApexSQL Complete also comes with session management and recovery options to help you restore a previously opened workspace, as well as logging capabilities for executed queries.
To help you even more, it bundles a set of code snippets that can be further extended to comprise code sections you often use.

Productivity tools for any Visual Studio and SQL Server user

Considering the above, it's safe to say that ApexSQL Complete comprises a set of productivity tools that belongs in the toolbox of any developer who works with SQL Server database connections in Visual Studio.
Code completion and formatting, snippet insertion, pair highlighting, and session management are all features that contribute to higher efficiency in the development process.
