Features

The first one is MergeUi which basically (as you might imagine) puts a gui around merger statements in post deployment scripts to make it simple to deploy static or reference data with an SSDT project

• Re-write unnamed primary keys into named table constraints
• Create tSQLt schemas (classes) including the extended property everyone always forgets
• Take a stored procedure or tvf and create a tSQLt test for it including faking every take in the procedure and creating the parameters needed for the procedure and calling it
• When developing a stored procedure (or tvf) configure a connection to a database with realistic statistics and have high costing queries hightlighted so it is easy to see queries that will cause issues (not a 100% catch all obviously)
• Re-write non sargable isnulls into sargable searches
• T-Sql Clippy (automatic re-writes, != into <>, name ordinals in order by etc)
