Team System Database Edition Power Tools Available

Huge congratulations to 
Gert<http://blogs.msdn.com/gertd/archive/2008/02/14/visual-studio-team-system-2008-database-edition-power-tools.aspx>
 and the rest of the "DataDude" team  for releasing the Power Tools for Visual 
Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition this evening.

The Power Tools for 2008 contains all the functionality they shipped in 2005 
plus:

* Command line SQL Static Code Analysis execution through MSBuild, this was the 
biggest customer request, which is why I was holding the release. This enables 
SQL Static Code Analysis to be part of Team Build!

* Data Generation Wizard; this is another customer request where we allow them 
to create a new data generation plan by pointing at an existing database, the 
plan will be fully configured by the wizard to pull all data from the database. 
This way users can use an existing data set and only override the privacy 
concerned data and save about half a day or more of configuration

* File based data generator; this allows you to insert the content of files in 
to the database (works for string and binary, not for XML yet)

* XML based data generator; this allows you to generate XML based on an XSD 
(the XSD has to be provided as file right now, and cannot be selected from 
database or inherited from the data type)

* Refactoring Command Generator has been made available as a MSBuild task for 
better project build integration so it can be made part of the pre-build and 
pre-deployment stages in the project. This allows users to automated the 
results of refactoring to some degree in to the project.
