  1. Say I typed the code below, just to look at the content of a table (don't slam me for the SELECT *, this is pseudo code).

    SELECT * FROM dbo.Address AS A

    dbo.Address was automatically aliased as "A", which is fine.

    Now, let me double-click on "Address" and replace this table name with another one, just because I want to save time:

    SELECT * FROM dbo.Affiliation AS A AS A

    This time, the table was automatically aliased again, but your feature does not seem to care if the table was already aliases.

    So now, the table is double aliased.

  2. 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…

  4. 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"

  5. 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.

  6. SQL Prompt should properly suggest table names or constraint names for DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS.

    The correct syntax would be:
    DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS('SchemaName.TableOrConstraintName')

    Currently, it suggests this way:
    DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS(TableName)
    which only works if TableName is in the dbo schema.

  8. When opening a "New Query" window in Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS), SQL promt automatically load suggestions every time.
    If the connection with the server is strong, this tipically takes about 1-2 seconds.
    I am using a VPN that has a low bandwith and i have to wait 30-40 seconds every time i open such a window.
    Since i have the possibility to load the suggestions manually using CTRL + SHIFT + D,
    it would be great to have a setting that will prevent loading suggestion in every situation as described above.
    Just store the suggestions in the cache first…

  9. The following gives the warning "ORDER BY clause with constants". In this statement, "1" is not a constant, but a reference to the 1st column.

    SELECT TOP (10) Field1, Field2 FROM MyTable ORDER BY 1 DESC

  10. 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

  16. Would it be possible to load built-in functions into the suggestions menu first (or alternatively, ignore keystrokes until the suggestion list is fully loaded)?

    An example scenario is I type "max(" and it picks up the first user-defined object name from the menu. It appears the built-in functions are loaded after the user-defined objects (although they appear at the top).

    In the attached file, the example is that MaxActionId will be selected when I type "max(" too quickly. This is a small but irritating problem because I have to remember to wait momentarily after typing a function name to avoid…

  18. When a date or datetime field appears in a WHERE clause, include Suggestions of the following nature and dynamically substitute them upon selection with the nondeterministic or deterministic equivalents:

    (I couldn't get my table to format nicely here - please see the copy in the uploaded file.)

    (If it's currently 11am on Friday August 20 2021...)

    Suggestion Nondeterministic replacement Deterministic replacement

    now GETDATE() CAST('11am 20 August 2021' AS DATETIME)
    today CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) CAST('20 August 2021' AS DATE)
    yesterday DATEADD(DAY, -1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) CAST('19 August 2021' AS DATE)
    tomorrow DATEADD(DAY, 1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) CAST('21 August 2021' AS DATE)…

  19. Automatically insert a snippet as soon as you start a New Query in SSMS. I want all my developers to always start every script with a comment block with their username, date and a description of what the script is supposed to do. A shared snippet is already handy for this, but adding this could make it easier to build that habit for new team members.

  20. 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)?
