  1. Hello,

    I try some Add ins for sql server and i found a very interesting and useful functionnality on Softtree sql assistant.
    When we have a very large Stored procedure for example, with several BEGIN and END , softtree have a functionality when i place the mouse on BEGIN to [Jump to end] to find the corresponding END, the opposite is also true, when i Place the mouse on END [Jump to begginning].
    This functionnlity is very very useful.
    I hope you consider developing the same functionality in your SQL Prompt.

    Best regards,
    Luis

  2. I like the new feature to put recently-selected items at the top of the list for Intellisense. However, when I have typed an exact match, I would like to see Intellisense elevate that exact object to the top of the list.

    For example, suppose I have recently selected a table named "dbo.OrderDetail", and suppose that there is another table in the same database called dbo.Order. With the new feature, I cannot access "dbo.Order" as the top candidate, because it is a partial match of "dbo.OrderDetail," and so SQLPrompt puts that name at the top.

    In a nutshell, I would like…

  3. For example, if a table is defined as such :

    CREATE TABLE dbo.T1 (
    col1 INT DEFAULT 100,
    col2 VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT 'Example',
    col3 DATETIME DEFAULT '01/01/2019'
    )

    And use auto-complete to generate and INSERT, it will produce :

    INSERT INTO dbo.T1( col1, col2, col3 )
    VALUES( 0 -- col1 - int
    ,'' -- col2 - varchar(100)
    ,GETDATE() -- col3 - datetime
    )

    Instead, it would be nice to have it produce the insert with the defined table default's, something like :

    INSERT INTO dbo.T1( col1, col2, col3 )
    VALUES( 100 -- col1 - int
    ,'Example' -- col2 - varchar(100)
    ,'01/01/2019…

  4. Its really annoying to see table names suggestions in the intellisense while typing SELECT statement. I feel its not the new feature but its the bug to be fixed.

  5. I'm currently working on a database with some really complex calculations which are saved then in a table. Putting these formula in the MSDescription is a pain as it cannot be shown correctly in the appearing tooltip text.
    A nice Feature would be that I'm able to add a Hyperlink in the MS
    Description which is pointing to the document in our SharePoint Server (or Wiki or whereever...).
    Or - if this is not working, would it be possible to define a Special RedGate Attribute/Property (e.g. MSDescriptionRedGate) below the MSDescription which is containing a hyperllink and this…

  6. I really like auto quote completion, but when I am working with an openquery statement or dynamic sql where I am having to escape quotes by doubling them up, I find myself fighting the "helpful" behavior of quote completion either refusing to add a second quote or it adds too many quotes.
    So, my suggestion is that the quote completion feature check to see if you are trying to add quotes within a quoted string and change its behavior to either not do quote completion or to (even better) automatically add escaped quotes.

    To illustrate the problem and my proposed…

  7. For system stored procedures, some parameters have a predefined set of possible values, e.g. msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep has the parameter @on_success_action.

    The MS documentation lists this predefined list of possible values:
    1 (Default) Quit with success
    2 Quit with failure
    3 Go to next step
    4 Go to step @on_success_step_id

    It would be great if Intellisense could suggest values for these sorts of parameters, saving a trip to Microsoft's website.

  8. Snippet adds or updates are not refreshed until SSMS is restarted.

    Can you add a feature to auto refresh the cache of snippets or make part of the "refresh suggestions"

  9. We add certain standard columns to all tables (LastUpdatedDate for example). Would be great to be able to set a list of these columns in the Options so they can be excluded from list of suggested JOINS

  11. Currently SQL Prompt displays suggestions for auto-completing literal strings. These are never valid suggestions so can this be turned off (or at least have an option to turn this off)?

  13. 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.

  15. 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!

  17. 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.

  18. when stored procedures have variables with defaults, your auto complete intellisense does not set the default. for example, if the parameter @a is an int = 5 in the creation of the proc, your auto complete says @a = 0 --int

  19. When using SQL server 2016 with a database that has it's compatibility level set to 2012, I'm still being offered auto complete options for 2016 features. e.g. string_split

    SQL Prompt needs to detect the database compatibility level and adjust it's intellisense accordingly.

  20. Even if you don't add support for Fabric warehouses and lake houses soon, please detect that the current connection is to a Fabric object and quietly disable SQL Prompt's IntelliSense so it stops crashing when I connect to a Fabric lake house or warehouse.

    Keeping the formatting working would still be nice though.
