Is there any way (built in) or free/paid add-on/Extension for SQL Management Studio that allows us to know exactly a data type of a column when we are writing a query?
In this specific project I have had situations where by looking a the query result I am not exactly sure of the datatype, if it is a number written in a nvarchar(max) column.... or if it is a tinyint, or int, or bigint, etc....
And I am spending so much time just to drill on the "tree list" to reach a speficic table and expand the Columns node to find out what am I dealing with....
A situation when you have bunch of JOINS (and allias) and
sp_help
would require me always to go to some other query window and type more sql (table names).... then it would be **easier and faster just to have like a tooltip message of the column with extra info.**
