To clarify, I'm not against the use of scripting tools and other tools that can save you time. I'm just against tools that have the potential to create more work than they save by spitting out problematic code. I agree that when you're learning a new DB, hand-scripting and the inevitable mistakes that result are a good way to learn. Thanks for the feedback, Tim.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm still relatively new to SQL Server, but am seeing that hand-scripting changes to any kind of database is the best practice not only for the DB itself, but to learn the ins and outs of each flavor!
