  1. When working with views, you lose the intellisense for columns. It would be nice if SQL Prompt could get the MS_Description value for the view column from the underlying base table for the view.

  2. We use a data warehousing strategy that creates potentially dozens of tables for multi-class entities in the data warehouse, so we have many tables that end in "core". This leads SQL Prompt to alias the object with a final "C" that we then remove manually. For example, our InstanceCore and Database_Core tables are aliased to "IC" and "DC" when we would prefer "I" and "D" respectively.

    Can SQL Prompt's Aliasing capabilities be extended to support "Suffixes to ignore" just like the existing "Prefixes to ignore"?

  3. After Update to 10.0.
    When you for example press J for join and confirm this input with Tab, it wont add a Space. You have to add this space manually :(
    maybe it is possible to add automatily always the space

  4. Similar to the movement of caret within CamelCase, could you please enable such behavior for pythoncaseidentifiers? I'd like the caret to stop in these places when using CTRL+<right or left arrow>: (1)python(2)case(3)identifier. Would that be possible, please?

  5. Hi there. Currently, SQL Prompt formats an invocation of a sproc like this:

    exec sproc @param1 = ?,
    @param2 = ?,
    @param3 = ?

    I'd like to be able to change this into:

    exec sproc
    @param1 = ?,
    @param2 = ?,
    @param3 = ?

    Thanks.

  6. When formatting SQL, it would be good to have the option to put the item following an AND/OR on a new line and align it, so instead of:

    WHERE
    OutgoingResults.LoadDateKey = 20191106
    AND OutgoingResults.FeedName = 'TestFeed'

    we have

    WHERE
    OutgoingResults.LoadDateKey = 20191106
    AND
    OutgoingResults.FeedName = 'TestFeed'

  7. So, Starred Tabs have been added, which is 1/2 of the capability I asked for a while back with "pinned tabs". We can remove tabs from Tab History either:
    1 tab at a time.....100s of times per day for me
    Older than x date - which does NOT work for me, because tabs that I want to keep around aren't always used every day

    So, now that we can "Star" tabs, how about letting us clean up Tab History a little more cleanly. Such as:
    1 tab at a time
    Older than x, except Starred Tabs
    Older than x

    This…

  8. Do you think it's possible to only have the refresh of suggestions the first time a database is loaded (so skip refresh if the cache already exists, but let the possibility to manually refresh cache for this db with the contextual menu of course)

    We have hundred of databases (with thousands of view and sp) and sql prompt try to refresh all the time the same databases (for example when we restart Management Studio) and nothing never change in these databases ...

    So we would like to load schema automatically only the very first time and then on demand.

    Thanks

  10. I'd like to see a right-click on a tab or the tab-bar and have the option to "reopen closed tab" (and the ability to do that several times through working back through the order the tabs were closed). Same functionality as the major web browsers have.

  11. When you open up new queries in SSMS they are always called SQLQuery1.sql , SQLQuery2.sql etc. etc.

    what would be useful is if SQL prompt generates a more useful filename when you click Save or Save As in SSMS.

    For example,

    Say I had the script:

    CREATE VIEW report.vwRandomName
    as
    SELECT *
    FROM Table
    A

    when I clicked save, it would replace SQLQuery1.sql with

    report.vw_RandomName.View.Create.sql

    and the same with other object types (table/stored procs etc) and other actions (create / alter / drop).

    thanks

  12. When typing SQL aliases are inserted automatically if configured. However when opening existing query from some other source it would be nice to execute an options to add missed aliases based on the same configured rules as with editing.

  13. When cursor is placed on any line simple shortcut would insert exactly same line below and move cursor to the newly inserted. No prior selection of any kind necessary.

  14. Time to time you need to compare data in the rows, for example when looking for the cause of duplication. If the query is complex enough with joins and wide tables I usually run

    SELECT * FROM ...

    and check where the duplication begins to easily find the root cause. The easiest way for me to do so is to copy it into the excel and do some simple formula to find the exact columns that have difference.

    It would be nice if SQL Prompt would support that feature. If it's possible then it can be done by highlighting needed…

  16. when I paste after "Copy as In clause", got contents like this:

    IN

  17. It would be really nice if SQL Prompt had support for defining your own collapsible regions in the SQL code. Like C# in Visual Studio.

  18. We use the WITH (TABLOCK) hint extensively for loading temp tables - see https://www.sqlshack.com/use-parallel-insert-sql-server-2016-improve-query-performance/

    PE006 is far too picky - it yells at every such statement in our high-volume hybrid solution. It would be good to "silence" this kind of rule-breakage so we can see any REAL violations on persisted tables.

    Please augment to utterly ignore temp tables.

  20. I would like to be able to filter on more than one string in the Object Explorer of SSMS.
    For example, I only want to see views that contain “OKDim” or “SSISOK”. Now I can only filter on “OK”, which still results in a long list of views.
