  3. One feature idea that I think would be great for many customers. Often I have a pasted column of data from Excel that i need to run a macro on in Notepad++ to add single quotes and commas. So that I can paste the string into a SQL “in ( ) " clause.

    It would be amazing if SQL Prompt had an option to convert that clipboard text right in SSMS. I think lots of people would find that a timesaver.

  4. Add a feature for the formatting styles for CASE expression.

    Currently the formatting is so strange, it adds indents that don't make sense.
    It should have the possibility to add CASE on a completely new line.

    Please add :Start expression on a new line or something…

  5. I would like to be able to export (+import) only specific portions of the options.

    So that I - for instance - may only distribute my aliases or my coding style options to the team; not everything. The current binary format for the export file only allows for an all-or-nothing approach.

    So please
    (A) Make the export file a xml-format, so we can filter it ourselves
    or
    (B) Add a dialog to allow us to mark the sections to be included into the export file via checkboxes

    This would also likely solve other feature-requests:

  6. I have the misfortune of trying to read an EF query. It would be extremely helpful if the «Format SQL» function in SQL Prompt could greatly reduce the verbosity and make the massively nested queries much, much easier to read.

    This is what I am doing by hand:

    • Replacing names like 'Extent6' with letters of the alphabet. I will go back later and replace these letters with more helpful names. Because the aliases of the table-valued objects are so long, so is there so much more text to plough through;

    • Removing aliases from columns whose names are identical.…

  7. While editing code in SSMS, i often find I want to use control key navigation (ctrl - left arrow for example) to navigate to a different part of the text i'm editing, but a pop-up intellisense window has arrived and instead of moving to the start of the word i'm editing, its trying to make me choose things from its pop up. It would be nice if ctrl key navigation would auto close the intellisense window so I could continue moving around the text of my query instead of having to hit escape all the time to close the pop…

  8. I am color-blind and while tab coloring isn't as big an issue, the real estate of the status bar and font size makes certain color schemes that I use on tabs VERY difficult to read. I would love an option to select whether the tab color propagates to the status bar and possibly even separately set a different "default" color for the status bar. I know some have requested the status bar mirror the tab color but some of us color-challenged developers would rather not have that option. Note, the "default" color could be consistent across all environments rather than…

  9. SQL Prompt - More Granular Suggestion. WHERE AND / CASE AND

    Would you add a couple of settings that give users more granular control in formatting SQL Prompt, please?

    In the CASE section, please add a section on how to handle Case AND statements, if we want the AND on a new line or the same line, and where to Align the AND.

    Also, please add a checkbox to align any '=' signs, like CASE WHEN colA = 1 then 1 else. I'd like all = signs to line up when there are multiple WHEN statements.

    Also, Please add a…

  10. User of SQL Prompt for some years now. Tab History was a "killer feature". I often have multiple instances of SSMS open, with a number of ad-hoc queries open not worth saving. When I log back in, for years, WITHOUT FAIL, ALL my queries, from ALL instances would re-open.

    Since "upgrading" to SQL; History, I am lucky to get one or two re-open. Complete pot luck. Even searching for known keywords to get them open again is hit and miss.

    I am losing a lot of productivity due to this downgrade. I have yet to experience any benefit from the…

  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.

  14. 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…

  16. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. SQL Prompt allows users to set custom directories for various files.

    It would be nice to be able to change the location of the SqlHistory.db and other files that load to localappdata.

    I would love to have this update to a folder in my oneDrive folder so it is backed up and easier to migrate between computers.

    The only way to do this now is via REGEDIT.
