Introducing: Snippets Generator
This software review is about SQLNetHub’s Snippets Generator. Snippets Generator is a productivity tool that can help you work faster and more efficient, when working with SQL Server Management Studio developing SQL scripts.
Snippets Generator, via its intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), enables you to easily create SQL snippets which you can save as files, and then import them in SQL Server Management Studio’s Code Snippet Manager.
Creating a New SQL Snippet
Creating a snippet in Snippets Generator is very easy.
Right after you start the program, you just click on the “New Snippet” icon and the respective screen comes up. Then, you enter some metadata such as: Title, Description and Author Name, and you select the Snippet Type which can either be “Expansion” or “SurroundsWith”.
The final and most important part of the new snippet creation process, is to write the SQL script. Snippets Generator also helps you with that. Using the “Snippet Templates Library”, you can find and use templates that will allow you to write the SQL script faster.
Opening an Existing SQL Snippet
Snippets Generator allows you to open an existing SQL Snippet and based on it, to generate a new one.
To do this, you just click on the “Open Snippet” icon, open the file, and the snippet editor will automatically open and populate a new snippet’s fields with the data of the existing snippet. The rest of the process, is exactly the same like creating a new snippet.
Snippet Templates Library
Snippets Template Library is another feature in Snippets Generator that boost your productivity. With Snippets Template Library, you can use templates of commonly used SQL scripts, in order to help you create your SQL Server snippet easier.
If you have the Ultimate Edition of the tool, you can also save snippets as custom templates for future use.
Program Options
Program Options let you further customize the program to your needs. For example, you can set dashboard not to show up first on startup, hide the “Check Also” section on start page, limit the number of characters, and more.
