You can add your own Transact-SQL code snippets to the set of pre-defined snippets included in SQL Server.

Creating a Transact-SQL Snippet File

The first part of creating a Transact-SQL code snippet is to create an XML file with the text of your code snippet. The file must have a .snippet file extension, and meet the requirements of the Code Snippets Schema. Set the snippet language to SQL.

You can use the pre-defined snippets that ship with SQL Server as examples. To find the pre-defined snippets, open SQL Server Management Studio, select the Tools menu, and click Code Snippet Manager. Select SQL in the Language list box, the path to the Transact-SQL snippets is displayed in the Location box.

Registering the Code Snippet

After creating the snippet file, use the Code Snippets Manager to register the snippet with SQL Server Management Studio. You can either add a folder containing multiple snippets, or import individual snippets to the My Code Snippets folder.
