SQL Sentry Plan Explorer

If you download both x86 and x64 versions be careful as they have the same file name.

If you think this should be in a different forum (or not on the site at all) let me know.

I haven't had time to play with it yet, but it handles large, complicated plans much better than SSMS does. It also doesn't waste as much space as SSMS does in the layout.

Try it. If you don't like it, don't use it.

It looks very cool for large plans. I hate all of the scrolling you have to do in SSMS with the graphical plan, plus I lose my place constantly. I can't read the text plan, lol. So this tool may be a good one for me.

it's ok but it would be SO much better as a plugin to ssms.

Maybe Mladen could team up with them to get it added to the Tools Pack.
