Introducing: TSQLMacro

I am pleased to announce the official introduction of the TSQLMacro framework, version 0.5 (prebeta-1). This version is functionally complete based on the initial design spec, features are stable, and I am not currently aware of any bugs.

So what is TSQLMacro? You can get a complete rundown here. But in essence, TSQLMacro is my attempt to bring C/C++-style macro and preprocessor support into TSQL, in order to ease certain development burdens. Please read the TSQLMacro Introduction for a detailed analysis of those issues.

And of course, there's a download page. But I highly recommend reading up before downloading -- I haven't yet included a readme or any other kind of documentation in the download.

As always -- and especially, in this case -- I would appreciate any comments, feedback, suggestions, rants, or other things you'd like to tell me about this project! I've spent a huge amount of time -- way too much time -- working on this, so I'm eager to see what people think! Thanks!

Yes, yet another introduction (although there was almost zero reaction to yesterday's introduction ).
