  1. SQL history. Recently this has become more indepth with greater search and history detail available. However it has lost some features which I found to be invaluable and which now make SQL history less useful to me.

    Find Starred items doesn't work as well now. It uses the advanced search which does not actually show if items are starred. Please correct that.

    Also there is now no ability to sort items found (in either normal or search view) by name / date etc.

    Can these features be re-implemented please.

  2. 'History for SQL Queryxxx' pane - there are too many versions. I don't need a version for every minor change. How about adding an option for how often to save versions?

  3. Over the years my Tab/Sql History became huge, and it is working very slow. I am looking for a way to clean up.
    1. There is no way to select multiple lines to delete. Delete is available only for one row. For example, every ALTER PROCEDURE creates history. I don’t need it at all. I would like to find all of them and delete.
    2. There is no functionality to compress and reindex Sql History database.
    3. Ironically “Send Feedback” link on a bottom of screen leads to nowhere.

  4. Tab History NEVER should have been replaced with SQL History, a very poorly received roll-out that angered many paying customers. The fact that Red-gate felt it necessary to re-brand the thing is indication enough that it wasn't simply an update to Tab history but a replacement. That said when you do something like this in a product people are paying for it should be rolled out as something new and not something that replaces an existing beloved feature.

    Perhaps after enough updates SQL history will be usable and thus tab history unnecessary but there's no telling how many updates that…

  5. In version 10.12.1 and older the "Open in Excel" functionality actually created a Excel file where numbers were numbers and could be used in formulas like SUM. Starting in, I think, 10.12.4 you started exporting all numbers as a string. That completely breaks the usability, as you can then no longer make a formula using the numbers. (And while Excel offers the option to convert them back to numbers, it would be a pain to do it for each column that needed it and it takes FOREVER.)

    At this point I will have to stay on 10.12.1 and not upgrade…

  6. Bring back TAB History!!! In the meantime, in SQL History, show the query/tab on the preview right side pane while hovering over the query on the left side.

  7. Add a feature that when provided an SP will enumerate every SP called with that SP and down the chain until the last SP has been listed.

    NOTE: It would need to take into account circular references in which case once an SP has been enumerated if it's found again it's listed but nothing else after since that will have already been done once.

  8. When making a CREATE TABLE statement, I would like to have the comma at the beginning of the line.
    I've set the lists.placeCommasBeforeItems property to true, but it's not working for the DDL statement.

    So either fix the comma placement option for DDL statements or add an option for it.

  9. SQL History sorts files by modified date ASCENDING. Its needs to be DATE DESCENDING. Need options to sort by name or date, ASC or DESC. Like how TAB HISTORY used to.

  10. A nice SQL Prompt feature would be autocomplete using contents from user tables. For example, if I have a smallish table (this idea may be impractical for large tables) with a list of codes - state codes, statuses, categories, etc. - and I need to hard-code a value from the table in a query, it would be cool if SQL Prompt could do autocomplete from the contents of the table.

  11. There is a general configuration for operators AND/OR. However, for us it is important to distinguish between the different places they are used:

    • JOIN
    • WHERE
    • CASE ...

    Would it be possible to configure the AND/OR options inside each block?

  12. We have some comments placed in the code preceeded by one or more TABs. When formatting SQL all these TABs are replaced by one WHITESPACE.
    Is it possible to maiantain these TABs?

    See attached examples.

  13. We would like an option to get rid of the semicolons. You can only configure the whitespace. When we apply "Format SQL" many semicolons are inserted in our code and we don't wnat them.
    Is it possible to add an option when formatting Style for eliminating semicolons?

  14. On our team we are very particular about the order of our joins as they are written in the query. I would like to request an option to format joins so the table you are joining on is the first item in the join. In the example below you join to tableb so the first ON clause is tableb, subsequently on the tablec join the first join is on objects from tablec.

    SELECT (columns)
    FROM tablea a
    INNER JOIN tableb b ON
    a.id = b.id
    INNER JOIN tablec c ON
    b.id2 = c.id

    To:
    SELECT (columns)
    FROM tablea a
    INNER…

  15. I use the Copy as IN clause a lot and think it is one of the most helpful functions in SQL Prompt.

    It would be even better if it could format the IN list according to the Style setting you have selected.

    This is how it is created when right clicking on the function
    ContractsId IN
    (
    234151,
    234321,
    239990,
    228809,
    240808,
    231809,
    240021,
    230876,
    231739,
    239555,
    240972
    )

    If I then use format SQL it changes it to the way I want it, without line brakes for each row but in relation to the other statement.

    It would be…

  17. As I click open on a query in SQL History it gets displayed in a new tab. However this tab has no active connection. To be able to run the query I have to connect the tab manually to the database.
    For me it would be much easier if opening the query from History would also open a connection to the database the query ran the last time.

    If there are specific reasons why this was not implemented it would still be nice, if there were an option available to automatically connect to the server.

  18. The formatter is not recognizing the newish DateTrunc function in T-SQL, so formatting and intellisense do not work on SQL statements that include DateTrunc.

  19. I usually enclose database and server names in square brackets.
    Instead of only removing the square brackets, you could change that option (keeping its keyboard shortcut) to toggle between adding and removing them.
