Copy Column Names with One Keystroke
Imagine you're typing the following SQL manually:
SELECT * FROM BusinessUnit b JOIN Location l ON b.LocationID = l.It's not hard to imagine filling in "LocationID" following the last "." to complete the JOIN, matching foreign key to primary key. SQL-Hero lets you complete this SQL with a short-cut key: "Alt"+"." What's actually happening here is text on the current line that follows the first "." is copied to the current cursor location. Therefore, this would also work:
SELECT * FROM BusinessUnit b JOIN Location l ON b.LocationID = @Where pressing "Alt"+"." fills in the statement with "@LocationID" - a very plausible case where we've passed @LocationID in as a parameter. We've found this is a big time-saver, even beyond what normal "intellisense" would provide.
