An ability to work with databases with increased efficiency and speed can essentially contribute to a company’s success, assisting with the optimization of the overall workflow and the reduction of operational costs as there is less time one needs to spend on SQL coding, refactoring, and code optimization. However, it takes effort to find a product that would help with these goals while being reliable and stable and providing fast results without requiring any complex onboarding.

Achieved results
Implementation of dbForge SQL Tools helped André St-Onge quickly re-write SQL statements to ensure the queries are executed efficiently and eventually increase the speed of the used workflow.
Another essential improvement was the ability to compare the schema in databases across different servers and use the Source Control functionality to ensure extra safety when making any modifications to code and then releasing changes from the development environment to Production.
The ultimate benefit of the project was an all-encompassing approach that didn’t require major changes to the stack used before while assisting with the challenges at hand. It was possible to use all the features with the SSMS, boosting the overall experience.
