Nice! I saw this when it was recently released, and thought it was pretty cool, but I wasn’t ready to pony up the funds for what I felt was a "nice to have" product... Well free is hard to beat.

Downloaded, installed and working great in Query Analyzer (which I didn’t even have to restart).

I think one of the cooler things is how it uses the referential integrity to help in building joins. For example, as you add JOIN statements, the Intellisense lists tables with foreign keys to the previous tables. The included tooltip also details the relationship (i.e. it tells you what columns are related to what in the preceding tables).
