I only use SSMS. Integration into VS is just wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
I must admit the main reason i was contemplating it was that I now have a VS config over two monitors - and the 2nd monitor hides the SSMS window unless they are carefully positioned - and the Wibn7 docking doesn't work on the VS child windows - so I figured if only I could dock SSMS into the VS docking system , I would have the best of both worlds...

VS Server Manager Sux - There's a whole new thread right there.
SSMS it is.

I tried, I really did try and use the VS data projects and server explorer. Originally I wanted to take advantage of source control and have 1 integrated platform.
Then I chucked it for SSMS, just like I don't think the clr belongs in the database I don't think the database belongs in VS.

I use SMS for 90% of my database needs. I use Server Explorer only when I need to drag tables into a .dbml file.

I only use server explorer to view table names and field names

I use my database-agnostic command-line tool or that.

stay a Pro. and keep using the SQL Server Management Studio. VS explorer is for beginners...

Sorry, but that's nonsense.
Both have their uses.
Obviously DBAs and the like would use SSMS but there are many times when VS Server Explorer can do things that SSMS simply cannot do. The example already given of populating a LINQ to SQL class being just one.

SSMS for the database, VS2010 for asp.net/c#. Why would you do it any other way?

I am sitting in the lounge in Sydney, 4 hour wait to fly home. Flight to Brisbane was uneventful, and the flight to Sydney was OK, although they made us go through scanning with our bags and reboard the plane. My two guitars seem to have travelled well, so far. I bought some duty free. I am wearing a t-shirt with the green lantern logo on it. No other boring details spring to mind, but stay tuned.....

You do realise you've just jinxed yourself, don't you?

This last flight is never an issue, unless they decide to hassle me about carry on, but that's only happened once, and I had a bigger bag back then.

Did you take Qantas' epic new non stop flight from the US?
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed I did. I always start at DFW, so I used to have to fly to LAX, which is always crowded and dirty. The flight was 17 hours, which was epic, but there were no incidents, apart from boredom.

I've never flown Qantas internationally, only ever heard bad things about the service. Cathay and Singapore are my favourites.

The service is fine. There have been hiccups, but they always get sorted. I flew American to Paris from DFW. I have a new appreciation for QANTAS service, and the quality of their online food, after going through that. It could be better, but I have no real complaints.

Well, QANTAS has more of those, in the US, it's mostly middle aged women who were young and pretty when hired in the 60s.

We recently flew from Singapore to Uzbekistan with Uzbecki Airlines, these women weren't pretty even in the 60s. 7 hours with no onboard entertainment.

ROTFL - sounds like a scene from Borat. Of course, United had no real onboard entertainment either, when I flew them....
