    • Extend 'Find Invalid objects' to find other 'problems'. E.g. unaliased fields, wildcards etc.

      It would be lovely to find other elements in the database that may not stop it from working right now but are 'problems waiting to happen'. Other examples might be to search for field names that clash with reserved terms.

        In the header add the number of objects searched in the database.

        • Find Invalid Objects on all databases

          I would like to be able to run 'Find Invalid Objects' globally as well as for individual databases.
          When I look at the output in a csv there is a column for the database name which seems totally redundant when only 1 database is being considered. If this could run on all databases for a server then repeat offenders could be easily identified - the same invalid object in more than 1 place would be a good candidate for cleaning up and with SQL MultiScript this could make a fairly slow and laborious task almost easy.

          • Ability to Save invalid objects list instead of re-running entire database each time

            When you are working with a rather large database it would be nice to be able to save a list of invalid objects to come back rather than having to re-run through the entire database again.
