SQL Pretty Printer：好用的 SQL Formatter 工具

目前使用 SSMS，不論是2005還是2008，都沒有SQL Formatter功能，往往看到長得天荒地老的一行SQL，總是要費盡心力地來無盡的ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER......

在網路上找了找，有個方便的工具：Instant SQL Formatter
線上格式化SQL工具，還蠻方便的，但並不支援UNICODE，所以出現非英文語時就會出現「???」，還真的是麻煩...

中文亂碼的畫面

後來才發現，它有單機版本，名稱叫：SQL Pretty Printer
有提供 Desktop version, Add-In for SSMS, Add-In for VS or API
API就是利用網路連結到Instant SQL Formatter來處理。所以重點還是在前三項

因為我不只是用MS SQL，所以下載了Desktop Version來測試，以下就是展示畫面：

未格式化時的SQL

更棒的是，這個版本就支援UNICODE了！

工作上經常會先將 T-SQL 測到沒有問題後，再謄到 Delphi 中，此時會進行字串相加的串連工作，然而這工作如果文字少還算簡單，如果量大時，難免會出現漏打的情形，這時 SQL Pretty Printer 也支援 SQL 指令碼轉成其它如 C#、Pascal 相容的字串相加程式碼：

SQL Pretty Printer 有將 SQL 組成其它語言字串相加的功能

價格

SQL Pretty Printer 是付費軟體，一個LICENSE $50，但為你省下的時間絕對超過 $50 的價值！

向你推薦！

想不到作者真的有回覆，超有效率的
感謝作者送了Desktop Version license.

立即來測了一下

咦！原來還有Debug功能

不小心輸入錯誤也可以作簡易的Debug，比起一定要開龐大的SSMS，更顯得 SQL Pretty Printer 的輕薄。

也期待這套軟體能越作越好囉~~~~! (大樂)
