loooong columnnames

Bas
Hi,

A long time ago I set up a database with *very* descriptive and therefore
long table names. :(
I did the same with the column names. :((
The column names even repeat the table name. :(((
This was done in a period in which I was still using a lot of dynamic sql
:(((( and sql in the code of the app :(((((.
The tables all have the prefix 'tbl' (yes, I know) :((((((
There are even ghastly underscores in it too :(((((((
As a result, I'm starting to develop a nasty case of carpal tunnel syndrom
(aka RSI) :((((((((

For example there are names like:
dbo.tbl_SalesOrderLine.SalesOrderLine_SalesOrder
I have to type them in QA a gazillion times a day
The number of objects in the database has grown well beyond even beginning
to think about renaming them all.

Now my question: Is there an MS SQL client utility out there that has
autocomplete?

Cheers,

Bas

There's a list of alternative client tools here:

And of course:
