1 ApexSQL Refactor

I tried different tools to format sql, but apex sql was the best tool that I discovered so far.

I've tried other formatters and none get it the way I want. ApexSQL does it right!

The best free refactorization/formatter tool I have found. A lot of options and useful tools. Thanks!

I installed the plug in just testing, and now I don't know if I can ever go back.
