Command Line SQL Formatting

Post by jbridenthal » Wed 30 Oct 2013 19:27

Hello everyone,

I used the trial for SQL complete and am trying to convince my company to use this as our tool for development over another tool. One of the things they are looking for is being able to format via command line. The reason being is so that when a we check in a file we can run the command line against it enforcing a consistent formatting across the product.

Is there anyway to currently do this and I am just not able to locate how to? If not is there any plans to do so?

Thanks
James

Hi!

dbForge SQL Complete is SSMS and VS add-in and it will hardly have a command-line support.
But, dbForge Studio for SQL Server is a desktop tool and it supports launching a schema comparison or a data comparison process, executing scripts through command line. The pity is that it cannot run the formatting scripts through command line. So, none of our products meets your requirements.
I've added the feature Command Line SQL Formatting on our user-voice forum. Please vote it.

By the way, you would use our online formatting service for free.

BR.
