    Well it’s really pity that neither VS2010 nor SQL development studio provide SQL syntax formatter. but anyway there good news is that there are sites like http://www.tsqltidy.com  out there which would this for you for free.

    but that was not enough for me. i wanted to have tool with me to do this even when i am not connected to the internet–although does not happen that often Winking smile -

    Since i use Notepad++ as my text editor, i tought there might be a plug in for it. so searching online i found T-SQL formatter plug in.

    it’s not still a perfect formatter but in almost 90% of the times it’s done a great job for me.

    so if you also need a SQL formatter you may want to try this.

    To install it, open Notepad++, click on Plugins Menu and from the Plugin Manager menu click on Mange Plugins sub menu.

    then from the Plugin Manager dialog box, select Poor Man’s T_Sql Formatter can click on install

    it will ask you to restart the application click yes and next time you run Notepad++ you’ll have good SQL formatter plugin installed:
