A while back, Microsoft gave us the excellent Power Tools release for the database edition of VSTS 2005. One of the best things about this release was the Sequential Data Bound Generator, which allows the generation of specific values for lookup tables. This generator filled a crucial gap for teams wishing to incorporate data generation plans in the development cycle--a use case that is so common, it's almost unbelievable that it was not included in the initial release. Once I downloaded the power tools, I quickly migrated my old data generation plans from using a custom generator that performed the same basic function to the superior Sequential Data Bound Generator bundled with the released. After installing Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite, I found that a mind-boggling choice was made not to include this generator with the release (or other features of the Power Tools), even though the enhancements from SR1 are bundled with VS2008. This is confirmed in a post on the team's blog: "The Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition is based on the v1.0 functionality plus the Service Release 1 functionality; "..."The functionality that was made available through Power Tools for 2005, remains inside the Power Tools for the 2008 [sic] release, we are trying to release a new Power Tools release targeting 2008 later this month." Based on this, there may be a couple of hurdles to go through, depending on how your shop chooses to migrate. Hopefully the 2008-targeted Power Tools will be released sooner rather than later.
