# Extensible .NET SQL code generator

By Roy Osherove March 5, 2003

**Historical article** · Originally published March 5, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

_One of the cool things about Microsoft is that there's a boatload of smart people in it.  More to the point, many of those smart people are building wicked cool pieces of software that are available to you for free (and in many cases, with source code included!).  So, here's your link to one of Microsoft's better-kept secrets (we're working on changing that):_  [_OLYMARS_](http://www.microsoft.fr/olymars/webupdate.xml) _(the interesting name comes from a shortened version of the creator's favorite soccer/football team,_ [_Olympique de Marseilles_](http://www.olympiquedemarseille.com/Accueil/index.asp)_).  What is so special about this utility?  Well, to put it simply, it's a SQL Server .NET code generator.  And not just some cheezy tossed-together thing, this one has several superb charactaristics:_

- _It's highly customizable_
- _It supports both 2- and 3-tier models_
- _It's VERY fast_
- _**and** It generates production quality code_

_Currently, the site is hosted at the microsoft.fr location, but we're going to try to make it a little more "English friendly" in the future.  If you're writing code in .NET (or, frankly, just a beginner that wants to turn a 12-week project into a 2-day project), this is definitely worth looking at!_

Seems totally cool.
