How can we improve SQL Search?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Allow searching for users

    SQL Search does not return users as part of the returned results. This could be useful when searching in multiple databases.

  3. Add ability to search for identifiers (tables, columns, indexes, etc.)

    There is currently no way to search for an identifier, e.g., a column name, without also matching text that contains that identifier. For example, if I want to search for a column called ExampleColumn but ignore ExampleColumn2, BadExampleColumn, etc., I could try the "Match whole words only" option. I want it to find all of these:

    SELECT ExampleColumn FROM ExampleTable;
SELECT ExampleColumn, OtherColumn FROM ExampleTable;
SELECT [ExampleColumn] FROM ExampleTable;
SELECT et.ExampleColumn FROM ExampleTable et;
SELECT * FROM ExampleTable WHERE ExampleColumn=3;
SELECT SUM(ExampleColumn) FROM ExampleTable;

    but only the first three are found. Without the whole words option, it would match all…

  5. Add a way to stop automatically searching when I open SQL Search

    It remembers the last search term, but not which databases I limited to the last time I searched. So everytime I open it, it tries to search multiple databases that I don't have permissions to. At least once a week I get asked by the DBA's what on earth I am doing.
