  • SQL Management Studio 2008 tip

    At a project I’m currently working on we recently moved from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008. The 2008 Management Studio has some nice new features, like intellisence for T-SQL but also some pretty annoying ones like:

    - Select Top 1000 Rows and
    - Edit Top 200 Rows

    It’s good to know you can easily change these Top values in whatever you like.

    To change the values just go to Tools | Options | SQL Server Object Explorer.

    SqlManStudio2008Options

    If you prefer the good old Select All Rows en Edit All Rows, fill in a zero.

  • Balsamiq Mockups

    If you’re like me not a great UI guru nor a brilliant Picasso you have to check this out. Balsamiq Mockups is an online tool where you can create mockups of screens super easily.  I am convinced this tool is worth every penny of it.

    To get some idea, I’ve made this mockup in less than 5 minutes.
