Well that's pretty self-explanatory. We've had a few teething problems trying to get this thing ready and on the FTP site today so this will be a rather more brief post than I'd originally planned. I'd intended to talk about some of the new features in a little more depth, however I'll do that over the next few days.
Anyway, cutting to the chase, the forum announcement is here:
http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=5263And the download URL is:
ftp://ftp.red-gate.com/sqlpromptbeta/SQLPrompt3.5.0.000323.exe
Major new features and improvements include:
- Visual Studio 2005 database project support
- Cross database queries
- Distributed queries across linked SQL Server instances
-
Correlated subqueries
-
3 – 5 times faster metadata retrieval
-
Large script support
-
40 – 95% decrease in memory footprint
The team have worked really hard on this and so there are also a whole raft of other fixes and enhancements in there but I'll talk more about all this stuff tomorrow and over the next few days. Right now I have a barbecue to go to, and it looks dangerously like it might not even rain which (let me tell you) makes a very pleasant change round here at the moment.
Enjoy the RC. As I say, more of an update soon, and all being well the final release should be out by the end of the month.

I've had a few jobs since graduating, but for the last four years I've been settled at Red Gate Software in Cambridge, UK. Over that time I've worked on a wide range of products, both as a developer and as a project manager, including 18 months on SQL Prompt; right now I'm finishing up with ANTS Profiler 4, which we think is going to be amazing - hopefully you will too.
