Integrate this tool with your preferred editor for a robust MS SQL database design environment, supporting versions 6.5, 7.0 and 2000.
I recently tried out GOLDS (Good Old Scripts) as an alternative to traditional GUI-style tools like ERWIN for database design. What I found was a tool that allowed me to work in a familiar, C/C++-style IDE environment with MS SQL server.
One of the things I appreciated most about GOLDS was its ability to enrich Transact-SQL with additional features. With macros, I was able to make my code more compact and readable, and even add new control-of-flow statements.
Another handy feature of GOLDS is the preprocessor, which enables me to use #ifdef #ifndef style commands based on server version or custom variables. This made it much easier to manage my code across different environments.
Overall, I really enjoyed using GOLDS and found it to be a powerful and flexible tool for database design. Whether you're an experienced programmer or new to the world of SQL, I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
