Another SSMS 2008 Improvement: DROP and CREATE

In a recent video on improvements added by SQL Server Management Studio 2008, I covered a number of bigger, and even smaller, changes to SSMS introduced in SQL Server 2008.

One very cool (and very subtle) feature I didn't explicitly call out though deserves some mention: the new addition to generate DROP and CREATE scripts in a single action.

DropAndCreate

Granted, all this option really does is combine the ability to independently generate DROP and CREATE scripts so it's not that big of a deal.

But it can help out in a number of scenarios, and I've found it actually quite useful in a number of recent DBA-related activities where I was cleaning up objects and wanted to ensure that I also had rollback scripts and so on…
