  1. I use GROUP BY only for 'by all non-aggregated columns' in 99% of cases. I've created snippet for GROUP BY (gb) and then I pick this option from the intellisense menu. It would be nice to have possibility to have snippet that would add these 'all non-aggregated columns' automatically most probably by adding new variable.

  2. It is common to create functions and stored procedures that have parameters with the same name as fields. Sometimes the @ is mistakenly skipped when creating a WHERE condition and you end up with something like ID = ID instead of ID = @ID. I would like intellisense that warns me about this type of error.

  3. I would like to see intellisense provide you a list of backup devices that are created when you use the backup database key words.

    Backup database [database names in drop down] to [ disk, file, Url, backup devices in dropdown]

  5. When I have a table with multiple indexes and I want to determine if a certain column or group of columns are part of an index, I basically have to script all of the indexes.
    I would like to be able to hover over an index name in the Object Explorer and have SQL Prompt display the index definition without having to script it.
    Same with constraints.

  6. I work on the same databases on a regular basis. Many do not have foreign keys and do not used identically named column names in tables that I'm joining.

    I repeatedly have to specify the same several columns in the join condition.

    I'd love a way for SQLPrompt to either remember join clauses I've previously used, or allow me to specify default join conditions for pairs of tables (or both).

  7. Add an option to have the DISTINCT keyword appear at the top of the suggestions list when the first few characters (DIS, DIST) are typed, ahead of any column name suggestions. Nearly every time I type DIS or DIST, I want the DISTINCT keyword and not a column name that begins with the same letters.

  9. I often need to have Order By added and the following enhancements will help (same as in the grupy by intellisent)

    • order by "Primary Keys" -> Order as in table
    • order by Select-list columns -> order as in the select list
    • order by Select list columns from table x

    All three would help to type less

    Thanks

  10. Could see there are ranked suggestions, which is good.
    Can we take this to next level by letting user add custom ranking to suggestions to see those we rank always at the top but with a requirement that you need to enter at least a single letter so that your custom suggestions starting with that letter would be the first in order of display.

    Thanks!

  11. The constraint name is not suggested when using the syntax
    "ALTER TABLE <TableName> WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT <ConstraintName>

    The suggestion feature works great when using NOCHECK CONSTRAINT

  12. Intellisense brings up 'd', CREATE SQL Server login, to top of suggestions when referencing a column beginning with 'cl'.
    Specifically, I see this in the where criteria. Have no clue why it would even bring up a 'CREATE SQL Server login' snippet in the context of a WHERE; especially when the autocomplete is coming from the dot to an alias of the table.

  13. If I write "drop sv_myview" and this view is used in other views (has objects, which are dependend on it) there will be great a warning: "This object has objects, depending on it. Drop anyway?" So I can first recode the dependent objects and then drop it.

  18. When you select a table from the intellisense list
    Precede the table name with the database name as well
    Currently it is only inserting the schema name in front of the table name
    i.e. dbo.<table name>

    It should be <database name>.<schema name>.<table name>

  19. 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.

  20. 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
