I am working on a J2EE project currently, but we are using SQL Server 2000, so I have an opportunity to take the new 2005 tools for a lap. Here are some very [,very] initial experiences.
- +1 - Visual Studio Shell
- +1 - Backwards compatibility with SS2K
- +5 - All Dialogs I have encountered can be maximized to full screen.
- +1 - Query Editor
- -1 - Can't search stored procedures - should have the same navigation experience as other code, e.g. C#
- -1 - "Generate Script" wizard makes you specify scripting options before selecting the types of objects you want to export
- -1 - "Generate Script" wizard won't drop and recreate (am I wrong here?)
- -1 -
- -10 - "Generate Script" wizard had problems with one stored procedure, causing the rest of the scripting to fail. It didn't even attempt the rest.
- +12 - "Generate Script" wizard has a "continue scripting on error" option. D'oh.
- -5 - It is set to false by default. D'oh D'oh.
