Is there any FREE "build-in" way to capitalize the "keywords" in the SQL 2005/2008 management studio when you write a sql query?
i.e
truncate table x
should be automatically changed to:
TRUNCATE TABLE x

There is no built in 'intellisense' in SQL Server 2005 (there is in 2008) but Redgate do an add-in for exactly this and more. It will auto-complete table names, columns, add square brackets, re-format stored procs etc, and it works well:
the intellisense in the 2008 management studio will do this as well as long as you are connected to a SQL 2008 database.
You can change the case you prefer to upper or lower under Tools / Options / Text Editor / Transact-SQL / IntelliSense

Not free, but cheap.
