Free T-SQL Beautifier

I do love me some good-looking code. Sure, the syntax has to be there, and the code has to be correct and all that, but I'm old-school, and I think pretty code is easier to read. I'd love to have a "code beautifier" built right in to SQL Server Management Studio, but I suppose there's other stuff in line before that work starts :)

James Wang, a long-time reader, has created a free online T-SQL Formatter. There's a few others out there, but the one James wrote has a lot of options, so bop on over there and give it a try. Post a comment if you do and let us know how it works for you.

Thanks, James!

It's not free, but SQL Assistant from SoftTree Technologies (www.softtree.com) is an excellent beautifier (among its many capabilities).
