SqlPulse is a high-performance productivity suite for SSMS that consolidates essential power-user features into a single, modern extension.

Main Features:

- **Grid Conditional Formatting**: Highlight rows or cells based on complex rules and operators directly in the SSMS results grid.
- **SQL Code Inspector**: Real-time static analysis with 50+ rules to detect performance bottlenecks, legacy syntax, and risky queries (e.g., missing WHERE clauses).
- **Execution Plan Analysis**: Side-by-side plan comparison, table usage summaries, and operator search for complex execution plans.
- **Object Explorer Grouping**: Organize databases, SQL Agent jobs, and objects into custom colored folders or automatic schema-based groups.
- **SQL Profiler**: Lightweight, DMV-based live query capture with blocking trees and top-resource consumer dashboards.
- **Quick Connect**: Searchable dropdown for preferred and recent connections with the ability to replace the connection of the active editor tab.
- **Workspace Safety**: Transaction Guard (open transaction reminders), Connection Strip (color-coded environment indicators), and Important DB Alerts for production servers.
- **Smart Export**: High-speed export of result grids to Excel (XLSX), CSV, or JSON.
- **SQL Code formatting**
- **GoTo Definition**
- **Restore last session**
- **Connection coloring**
