Boosts Productivity of SQL Server Programmers

SQL-Programmer 1.5 is a complete development environment for SQL Server
programmers. It runs under Windows and replaces clumsy command-line isql
programming with an easy-to-use, powerful graphical interface.

SQL-Programmer lets programmers create and edit all SQL server programmable
objects-stored procedures, triggers, devices, databases, tables, views,
indexes, login ids, user names, groups, permissions, aliases, defaults,
rules, and user-defined types. Programmers can execute code directly from
SQL-Programmer and easily monitor performance statistics in a "test while
you edit" development environment.

Additionally, SQL-Programmer includes a rich assortment of 15 built-in
reports ranging from summary reports to more detailed reports that can
serve as the basis for system documentation. These include both basic and
detailed reports for stored procedures, tables, and triggers (including a
trigger chain report), and basic reports for views, indexes, rules,
defaults, and user types. Programmers and project managers can also
generate reports with current check-in/check-out status as well as a log
of checkouts.

Customers are amazed how quickly they can get up to speed with
SQL-Programmer; because of its intuitive Windows interface, there's
