I've seen this tool by Red Gate but never really looked into it. Based on your article, I can definitely see some major benefits for using a tool like this. I'm a bit hesitant, though, when a review does not include any down sides to a tool. Seems that every tool I've ever used has some bad points... bugs, weird configuration, or odd way of handling a task. When a review only has good points it tends to sound more like a sales pitch rather then a review. But having never used SQL Refactor, I must concede that it really could be that great of a product.
You listed the single user license at $295 but Red Gates web site now lists it at $195... maybe they read the review and lowered their prices.
Thanks for the information... always good to learn about new products.
