SQL Prompt tries to retrieve objects from other databases
After upgrading to SQL Prompt 6 (6.1), I notice reduced performance and I occasionally get "SQL Prompt cannot retrieve objects from <some database name>. (etc)", which reference a database that I do not use or am ever likely to use and IIRC have never used. It seems SQL Prompt is trying to cache objects for all databases on the connected server. That would be overkill, and only serves to slow it down and cause errors such as the one mentioned.
3 votesThis was likely due to the synonym support added in 6 which will try to offer suggestions by loading databases that the synonyms are referencing. In the latest build of Prompt this is optional (under Suggestions→Connections) and off by default.

Grant no longer suggests Domain users or groups
When typing a GRANT statement I no longer suggestions after the "TO" for domain users or groups that exist in the database. I only get SQL Users.
Please include all users in "Security\Users" after the "TO" in the GRANT statement intellisense.

Copy button on code popups in 6.0
I really like the new feature in 6 that allows Ctrl-C to work to copy sections of scripts. However, I am missing an easy way to copy the entire script from the code pop-up. The copy button use to do this when nothing was selected in the pop-up window. Restoring this functionality would be appreciated.
8 votesSQL Prompt 6.1 has now been released and has the copy button returned to the popup.

snippet isn't working correctly
When using snippet with version before 6 (5ish), I could just hit tab and it will give me the correct code. However, with version 6, sometimes (half of the time), the first choice is nothing. It will do nothing rather than giving me the code for that particular snippet. Please fix it. It's very frustrating.

More Matching in Intellisense
It would be nice to be able to extend the intellisense matching to skip things like underscores. For example, if the table was called cardpickupstaging, you could match it with pickupstaging or upstag.

Improve "read ahead" for variables
I find that in longer stored procedures, declared variables often don't show up as I start to type them. E.g. typing @ towards the beginning of the sp shows me a list of the variables, however if I'm further down in the proc, they ofter are not listed.

Code sniffing
Hows about Code sniffing? For checking code compliance with user defined standards. Like checking column names conform to a defined standard, warnings on bad practices etc. You know all those little annoying things like no clustered index, use of cursors instead of set based ops, use of Select * or of Insert into tableA values (a,b,c).
All driven by user defined rules? With larger dev teams the standards docs always left to the side. If it could work on input and in some sort of batch mode (on sql source control check in?) it would be nice.

Intellisense for User Defined Table Types
When using a variable of a user defined table type, make intellisense smart enough to recognize the data type and provide the columns similar to if it were an actual table.

Add constraints to column details on column hover
Small suggestion, but I would find this useful!
When hovering over a column you get a balloon that states:
[Table Name].[Column Name] [Data Type] (column)
If this could include 'NULL' or 'NOT NULL' this would be super :-)
Possibily even more, such as default values or identity status?[Table Name].[Column Name] [Data Type] [NULL/NOT NULL] (column)
SQL Prompt is an excellent bit of kit, top work guys!

auto suggest when character is added after table is selected so when SalesOrderLine is shows after SalesOrder
Intellisense should pop up when a character is added after table is selected so when there is a table named SalesOrderLine it should be suggested even after the table SalesOrder was chosen via tab if i type further without a space.
1 voteThe latest version of SQL Prompt (6.3) should show the suggestions again once you type the “L” after SalesOrder

Snippet Template Fields
Enhance snippets to support arbitrary fields like Visual Studio or SSMS 2012.
So say I had the following snippet "dups" defined
SELECT *
FROM $tablename$
WHERE $columnname$ IN
(
SELECT $columnname$
FROM $tablename$
GROUP BY $columnname$
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
);
I would type dups{tab}mytable{tab}mycolumn{enter}7 votesThis is included in SQL Prompt 7 which you can download from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/

SqlPrompt doesn't understand the Syntax of an update-statement when the table-to-be-updated is aliased
Hi!
Please consider this statement
update t1
set t1.value = t2.value
from Table1 t1
join Table2 t2
on t1.ID = t2.IDWhen you have the cursor in the set-block of the statement, SqlPrompt doesn't know what 't1' means and which columns t1 has.

Suggest only column names after a Table alias is typed in
If I have already typed in the alias name for a table, then suggestions after a period should always have the column names at the top. Sometimes, a code snippet shortcut or other unrelated item pops to the top of the list.
For example, if I am have typed in:
SELECT * FROM [sys].[tables] AS T
WHERE [T].isThen, the snippet for INFORMATIONSCHEMA shows at the top of the list. Since I already have put [T]., it should have the column names such as ismerged_published, etc. at the top of the list.

Please add a function key to reopen the sqlprompt box.
Here’s what’s happening: I am typing along and I hit space instead of tab which does not complete the fill in (I actually like this so I don’t want to add the space as a completion key). I would like a mappable key combination to get the prompt to re-open.
2 votesCtrl+Space will bring back the suggestion box, but also the latest build of Prompt will bring it back if you just continue typing after you left off (if you didn’t purposely hide it with esc)

Display the scale and precision (length) of data types like numeric and varchar in pop-up hint windows
Display the scale and precision (length) of data types like numeric and varchar in pop-up hint windows. This would be a very helpful feature to keep data types consistent throughout a database if one doesn't want to set up a user data type for each and every column that stores data types with additional parameters like, for instance, the scale and precision.
