Good database client (MS SQL Server) with auto-complete, small memory foot-print and free?

Hi,

Any sugestions?

Currently I'm using Squirell but it consumes quiet a bit of memory... I just use the sql client to run some queries and get the result but i absolutely need auto-complete of tables, columns, etc

From stackoverflow
  • RedGate who makes SQLCompare has a tool called SQL Prompt that provides:

    • Intelligent code completion for fast, accurate script building
    • Script layout for easy code readability
    • Cross-database and linked-server query support
    • Integrates with SSMS, SSMS Express, Query Analyzer and Visual Studio
    • Keyword formatting, code snippet integration, column picker and many more features

    I have only tried the 14-day free trial and it was really nice to use. I mostly work in Query Analyser and it worked great there.

    Nice demonstration video : http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Prompt/video.htm

  • SQL Server Management Studio Express (intellisense works only on Sql Server 2008)

  • checkout QueryCommander
