Are there any tools out there comparable to? The licensing ($30 per machine, $100 for any number of machines. For 3 months) leaves a lot to be desired and I wasn't sure of what other options are available.For example, one thing that I really miss is the 'Save every query you run'. When tinkering and researching, it's been invaluable to have a running backup of different versions of queries as I run them. Or when I realize I don't have a backup of a query I was working on 2 months ago.Clarification: SQL Server Management Studio's have no official addon support, but there are some tools out there. SSMS Tools Pack is one that I've been very fond of (2005, 2008 versions), but the licensing fee for 2012 is horrible. (I would pay for a reasonable license, but that's not the question here.)I've found for example that has some cool additions to SSMS that seem worth it.What other addins are available for SQL Server 2012?
I'd love to have something that saves a query when I hit F5 like SSMS Tools Pack does, or anything out there besides the two tools listed? Closed as off-topic by ♦, ♦ Jul 14 '14 at 20:18This question appears to be off-topic.

Some more info from SSMSBoost developer.As soon as you mentioned my project, I allow myself to write some words about the project. The main reason I have written the tool was that I have missed productivity features, concerning T-SQL Development and DBA - oriented tasks.For example:.
frequent connection switching between different servers. writing 1000 times a day 'select. from '. export grid results to excel/xml. keeping a list of favorite connections.
having a warning from SSMS when connecting to live-environmentall these and some other daily operations are adressed in SSMSBoost and have been constantly improved. Currently I release new version every 30-40 days. Over last 3 versions I have also got a lot of positive/constructive user feedback and lot of features were improved. Your proposal to save every executed query will be also soon implemented.
As I wrote - if you want to have something special write me an e-mail (support@ssmsboost.com).
