After moving production to 2005 mid-2006, which isn't too bad on the "learning new tricks" scale, I'm wondering if I'm missing something by not adopting SSMS projects as a mechanism of organizing stored procedures. You see, I still create my own folder structure and store all my SP's there. Report SPs, Admin SPs, Maintenance SPs, etc...

I've cranked up a project folder, and I can't see any intuitive way of saving an existing SP there that brings any benefit beyond what I currently do. Navigate to a project folder, open it up, save the sp.

Net benefit to an old dog: zero

I see articles on the net about add-ins to sort files in project. Seems like a headache is created by a project and add-ins are needed to solve the problem.

I like my prior method of organizing SPs.

Am I missing a key benefit of a project folder somewhere? Some magic that makes project folders worthwhile?

one possible benefit is that SSMS projects can integrate with a source control system.

however I don't use it because projects in SSMS can't be organized into subfolders. a project is just a flat bucket of files, not enough for my needs.

... and SubVersion (say) can just handle a bunch of sub-folders as-is ...
