Edit: is there anything other then Redgate SQL prompt? that dose error checking like the way R# or dev express?

Answer 1

Red-Gate SQL Prompt (at least more recent versions, I believe 3.x and up) also works inside Visual Studio. I don't think you need another extra tool, really.

See the Red-Gate SQL Prompt feature page

It says clearly:

Integrates with SSMS, SSMS Express, Query Analyzer and Visual Studio

With Red Gate SQL Prompt you also will stay in VS and this product supports now just VS 2008. SQL Prompt web page

If you don't like it I can propose you to try SQL Assist or SQL Complete. I use this tool and as for me it's really reliable one.

Answer 3

Apart from tools mentioned above there is a pretty neat tool from ApexSQL called “Complete”. I think this article can explain further http://blog.apexsql.com/ssms-intellisense-add-in-and-ssms-intellisense/

And the tool itself
