It allows you to create and automatically maintain a consistent layout of your SQL code and database objects. The tool facilitates code reuse, encapsulation and database normalization. ApexSQL Refactor tremendously improves code readability and quality and speeds up database development. New in this version:

• Clean up your code and quickly find unused variables and parameters
