  1. Although used quite often, != is not ANSI compliant for NOT EQUAL. Have an option in SQL PROMPT Code Formatting to automatically replace != with the ANSI compliant <>.

  3. SQL Complete has a great feature to allow copying the result as html table. I wish this feature was available in RedGate. This is the feature I would use multiple times every day.

  5. When using a synonym, the alias name generated is based on the synonym orginal table, not in the synonym name.

    So, if I have a synonym named sch1.ShortTableName that maps on AnotherDatabase.sch2.TableWithLongAndComplexName

    If I write

    SELECT * FROM sch1.ShortTableName

    It ends being

    SELECT * FROM sch1.ShortTableName AS twlacn

    It would be good that in case of synonyms, the alias name was based on the synonym name, not on the source object name.

    Or to keep backwards compatibilty, to have a setting that lets us choos either to follow the synonym name or the source object name.

  8. Please can there be an option to turn off SQL Prompt+ AI. It is a pointless feature that I have found no benefit from. It locks up and crashes SSMS. It also it an extremely intrusive feature constantly displaying the icon next to the cursor

  9. When you do a new release of SQL Prompt it will popup thru the existing install of SQL Prompt saying that there is a new release. There is a link on there to the release notes. PLEASE UPDATE THE RELEASE NOTES WEBSITE TO DESCRIBE THE NEW RELEASE. The website is usually a version behind. The problem is there is a new release and no idea what it fixes or addresses.

    Just installed Version 10.14.11.7894 and I do not know why...

  10. After I connect to multiple servers at one time using the Registered Servers window, the connected servers appear expanded in the Object Explorer window, and then I manually collapse each one. I also find myself scrolling up and down in the Object Explorer window to manually collapse servers I've expanded throughout the day. A menu item to collapse all of the connected servers in the Object Explorer window would be a feature I would use quite often.

  12. Like SQL Search, but SQL Error/Issue/Rule violation.
    This would list all issues that exist in a database.
    Example: "Non-scalar subquery in place of a scalar value"

    Because these issues can cause major slowdown in queries, and it would be great to have a way to search a whole database to find these rather than having to open all the views, procedures, and functions to find all these things.

  13. In the SQL History tab, under Advanced Search, allow us to set a default server and database or remember the last one that was chosen. I have about 30 servers in my list and most of them no longer exist. I would never want to search all servers. I would also rarely want to search another database besides the one I usually search.

  14. Where Script as INSERT takes the selected table values and puts them into #temptable
    The 'Script as UPDATE' knowing which field is the PK would instead of creating something like
    `INSERT INTO #temptable ([Id], [BrandId], [Key], [Value])VALUES ),()... would create
    UPDATE #temptable SET [Key]='', [Value]='' where [Id]=101 and [BrandId]=1
    This would make creating the Down Migration scripts used in EF easy as will as a quick UNDO safety net when running scripts is pre-live or live.

  15. Unlike a proper programming language TSQL allows you to declare a variable inside an IF block (or some other scope) and then use the variable outside that IF block, even if the IF block is not entered during run time. This can lead to errors if the code outside the IF is testing for certain values.

    It would be good if Code Analysis could detect this as a potentially dangerous coding structure.

    E.g.
    IF 1 = 0
    BEGIN
    DECLARE @Var VARCHAR(50) = '123';
    END;
    SELECT @Var

  16. I got a suggestion from SQL Prompt for "Slow cached time detected".The link (seen in the screenshot) was this one:

    https://documentation.red-gate.com/sp/managing-sql-prompt-behavior/managing-connections-and-memory

    So from what I understand, I need to manually go through all databases and schemas and select the ones I think are used to the most in order to only load suggestions for them, in order to improve performance?

    While I generally like SQL Prompt, the first word that came to mind was that this pretty much sucked, but let's just say it's less that optimal I think. Given that we’re in the ”AI age”, I was hoping that…

  17. When a column(s) on the Results Grid is selected, show the Count, Distinct Count, Avg, Min, Max, Sum of the data in the column(s). Make it an option as to what to show by default, but with the option of widening or narrowing the aforementioned data.

  18. Global formatting options like "Insert Semicolons", "Add brackets to all identifiers" etc should be part of a formatting style, this way changing a formatting style can also quickly switch between these options.
    Currently even after changing a formatting style these options on the screenshot below had to be manually changed one by one, it's inefficient to say the least.

  19. When you use the interactive sign in with AD option with a SQL database, it's not very stable in it's connection. I suspect it's either not supporting the refresh tokens (if it has them) or hasn't got the right detection for an expired token.

    When authentication fails in this mode, it gives up silently and functionality starts to turn off as it can't connect to the database - see attached log.

    I have to close SSMS every 3 hours or so, which forces SQL prompt to re-authenticate and get a new token. Turning on/off suggestions does not trigger a reauthentication.

  20. I have a handful of tables/views I use the same aliases for. I want to have SQL Prompt add those aliases when it completes the table/view name, but not automatically create new aliases for all of the other tables/views
