We are a small group of software engineers who have successfully completed a number of small projects. This time we are working on a large scale application (ASP.NET, C#, SQL Server) and it seems that our development process got out of control. The database design changes so often due to various inputs/requests for our client so we simply cannot catch up. We have tried using a few code generators but none of them gave us the productivity boost that we are hoping for. Does someone know of a ready to use code generator which could create SQL stored procedures, the data access layer and a skeleton for the business layer. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Sounds like you might need a better program design, if you're having that much trouble. I spent years mucking about in SQL hell before I learned how to properly design large databases, and how to code modular interfaces. I've never used query generators.

You don’t have to step back in your endeavor regardless how large your project might be! I totally understand your need to use a code generator rather that writing everything from scratch. Why don’t you try OxyGen Code? It is available at http://www.techinceptions.com/codegenerator.html. I used OxyGen Code in a couple of projects so far and I was very happy with the results. I would strongly recommend downloading OxyGen Code. All the best!

Stop writing code. Talk to client, request a spec. Implement spec. Give to customer and get paid.

If you keep having to port your code to a new spec every quite often, you'll have spent enough time rewriting, scrapping, and patching code to give up a large bit of your profit. Unless you're getting paid by the hour, in which case, grin and charge overtime.
