Database management usually comes with its fair share of challenges, especially if you are not the most tech-savvy of users.

Ssdt For Visual Studio 2017

ApexSQL Search is a reliable software solution that helps you simplify some database-related tasks, namely those of searching for SQL objects and text strings while still working within SQL Server.

Integrates within all major SQL Server versions

If you have several versions of SQL Server installed on your computer, you get the possibility to choose where ApexSQL Search should be integrated with.

In other words, you can benefit from the functions of ApexSQL Search when using a certain SQL Server version, whereas a different edition will not feature them.

Search for SQL objects and texts

The application creates a separate menu within the host software, thus making it easy for you to choose the type of search you want to perform, either object or text-based.

When it comes to launching an object search, you get to choose the database, as well as specify the type of objects you are interested in (such as assemblies, certificates, credentials, columns, indexes, event notifications, parameters, roles, rules, schemas, services, triggers and so on).

To perform a text search, you only need to enter the keyword, select the server and the database names, and simply initiate the search. If you want to filter the results, you can deselect some of the available objects, and then export the results to XML, CSV or HTML.

Safely rename records and analyze dependencies

ApexSQL Search comes in handy if you want to review and alter the extended properties of your database, as well as safely rename tables, views, procedures, functions, columns or parameters.

The utility can come in handy when you want to explore the dependencies not only within the database, but also across other databases, scripts or apps.

All in all, ApexSQL Search is a nifty application that integrates within SQL Server and helps you speed up a lot of database-related tasks.

I installed the free version of ApexSQL which is awesome in SSMS, but I really don't want all those menus in Visual Studio. I went to add-in manager and unchecked them, but the Startup column is checked and disabled so every time I restart Visual Studio they come back.

Is it possible to permanently remove the ApexSQL menus from Visual Studio?

The issue of crowding menus is resolved in latest releases, now all ApexSQL add-ins are under the main ApexSQL menu as sub-menus. They look like this now:

If you don't need ApexSQL add-ins in VS or SSMS you can simply choose not to integrate them with VS or SSMS during the installation, just check out SSMS ot VS version in which you want the add-ins integrated

Note: To get this dialog in which you can check the wanted integration you need to use individual installers not the main one. You can find all individual installers on this link

If you have ApexSql installed and you don't want those pesky menus in Visual Studio do 2 things.

1. In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Add-in Manager and uncheck the ApexSql addins. Close Visual Studio.
2. In Windows 7, there's a hidden folder C:ProgramData. In Windows Explorer go to C:ProgramDataMicrosoftMSEnvSharedAddIns folder. Edit each of the *.MsvsLoader.Addin files and set <LoadBehavior> to 0. If you can't save the files directly, you'll have to save the files to a different location (desktop maybe) and then copy them back into C:ProgramDataMicrosoftMSEnvSharedAddIns because there's some Admin privilege required.

Now when you restart VS those ApexSQL menus should be gone

For Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7, I attempted @Chris Bayles suggestion and do not see ApexSql addins under Tools->Add-in Manager.

I followed @Jerome2606's pointer to https://knowledgebase.apexsql.com/remove-add-ins-just-visual-studio-retaining-sql-server-management-studio/ and it worked for me, but only when I removed the parent ApexSQL folder as well. La dama negra ac4.

Summary of what is required to do:Remove folder

Depending on the version of Visual Studio, the version number in the default installation location will be different:

Select and delete the ApexSQL folder and its contents.

Open Command Prompt as an administrator, then run

Please note the command is different for Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and 2015.
