Query Analyzer Auto-Complete...Woot!
SQL ServerThis is something I've wanted for a very long time, but did not have the room in my budget to purchase a tool for.
A company called Red Gate (http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Prompt/index.htm) has a nice piece of software that provides a whole bunch of features for SQL Server and looks to be very much worth its $195.00 price tag.
Apparently though, they released an older version of their tool for free that is still available here:

If you've been dreaming for autocomplete in Query Analyzer, then definitely check this thing out. It is a little annoying that it does have to make a seperate connection to the SQL Server to get the database metadata, but very quick and painless. And it makes it so easy to get all your tables / columns while you type.
Enjoy!

If I'm going to do something small in a DB I know well, I'm not turning it on, but many of the databases I've been working with lately have a lot of tables and I'm not familiar with them completely yet. That's where its invaluable and has already saved me quite a bit of time. This particularly applies to databases that have different naming conventions than I typically use.
Have you noticed anything else that I may not have run into yet?

P.S. My recent development - http://rapid4me.com rapidshare search engine. What would you say about this site? Is it good enough?
