Quest PowerGUI Review

I found this in google reader this morning. PowerGUI wins "Breakthrough Product of TechEd 2008". I have looked it before. I believe Brent O pointed me to it. Well, I missed the script editor before. This baby is nice. You can run commands directly from the editor. It has intellisense and a debugger! Oh yah, it is free and open source.

Read more and download here: http://powergui.org

To load the SQL 2008 RC0 snapin and format files, you have to run these commands.

Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100

Update-TypeData -PrependPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLProvider.Types.ps1xml"
Update-FormatData -PrependPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\SQLProvider.Format.ps1xml"

P.S. Be wary of the "cult of posh"
