Look at SQL-Programmer from Sylvain Faust. SQL-Programmer 2.1 works with Sybase, Oracle and MS SQL Server, all during the same session.

• Full syntax highlighting context-sensitive color editor for PL/SQL and Transact-SQL.
• Version Control with automatic interface to PVCS and SourceSafe.
• Built-in check-in/check-out.
• Test while you edit, no need to save your procedure to test it.
• No memory limit editors.
• No nonsense user interface.
• Full documentation generator (over 55 kind of reports to document your work).
• DDL/DML Script generator.
• Unique SQL-Explorer/Browser
• much more... (and we support our customers!)

"Tools such as SQL-Programmer are enabling SQL development tools to make the same jump to the enterprise level that traditional development tools made several years ago." DBMS Magazine March 1997

"SQL-Programmer's Database Search facility is another handy feature. I can imagine this feature alone saving SQL developers many hours spelunking through SQL script." DBMS Magazine March 1997
