Copy as IN clause - Allow second column as ID comment
So… Copy as IN Clause. Love it, but let’s improve it. Let’s say we have the following output…
ProductID ProductDesc
1 SQL Prompt
2 SQL Search
3 SQL CompareIf we use Copy as IN Clause on the ProductID column, we get:
IN
(
1,
2,
3
)Which super…. However those IDs mean nothing to me in 6 months time when I’m now having to modify my code. What would be awesome, is if I can select both ProductID and ProductDesc, then hit Copy as IN Clause, and get the following output:
IN

Don't add trivial queries
Add an option to filter what tabs are moved into history.
- SSMS autogenerated queries are of no interest.
- So are simple DML and EXEC[UTE] queries consisting of one statement.
- Successful executed ALTER {PROC|VIEW} are of no interest.
Optionally calculate a query complexity value or class to hide simple queries.

Tab ageing - automatic deletion after X days / weeks / months
Add a configuration option to automatically delete tabs by age (last executed or tab closed).
Or move them outside the normal tab history (archive them) to speed up the normal history loading and searching.

Suggest casting to match data types in joins
In a large query, it can be a hassle to check every join to make sure the data types match up exactly (for example, nvarchar(50) <-> varchar(100)). These differences can have huge impacts on query performance in some circumstances, or lead to confusing results if data types are converted in an unexpected way. A suggestion to call out boolean statements comparing mismatched data types could be extremely useful.

Script object as alter also in 'CREATE OR ALTER' statement
'Script object as alter' (F12) works in ALTER statements but not in CREATE OR ALTER statements like. It would be nice if it also worked for the latter.
Example:
'CREATE OR ALTER VIEW [MyView] AS SELECT 1 AS Col1;'
If I right-click on [MyView] in the above code snippet and select 'Script object as ALTER' (or hit F12), I would expect SQL Prompt to script the object if it exists.
Currently nothing happens.5 votes -
Add / Remove optional OUTER Keyword in joins
Include a feature in formatting to include / exclude JOIN type.
For Example
LEFT OUTER JOIN would become LEFT JOIN and vice versaNot sure this is so useful on the INNER keyword but the OUTER would be useful where people have different styles but we want to standardise work.

Show only column names in intellisense while doing SELECT
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.

Subquery Column Validation Hint
There's an obscure coding bug that I've seen multiple times in my 20 years of working with SQL Server, and it can be particularly difficult to spot as it doesn't cause a syntax error, yet the havoc it wreaks can be widespread. Consider the following scenario with two tables; they are similar but have differing column names. Now say I want to insert records from StagingTable into FinalTable, but only if they don't already exist there. Yes, there are other ways to handle this like Merge, Left Outer Join etc., but this is still commonly used and you will no…

Shortcut to switch equality statements
It would be very convenient when going through legacy scripts to be able to hit a shortcut combination to switch the order of an equality statement, for example in a JOIN clause
For example, with the cursor on "A.ID = User.AccountID":
SELECT U.Username
FROM Account AS A
INNER JOIN Users AS U ON A.ID = U.AccountID AND U.Active = 1
WHERE A.ID = @AccountID AND U.ID = @UserIDBecomes
SELECT U.Username
FROM Account AS A
INNER JOIN Users AS U ON U.AccountID = A.ID AND U.Active = 1 --note, only clause where cursor is is switched.
WHERE A.ID = @AccountID…1 vote -
Merge Command Formatting
Merge Command Formatting
For MERGE commands there is no way to make the conditional requirements with 'ON' follow the same style as JOIN's ON. I noticed back on 5/17/2017 there was a closed 'Merge command formatting options' through the User Voice, stating that an experimental feature was available for SQL Prompt 7.4. What happened? In my 10.1.7.15015, within the formatting styles, there is no area for MERGE like there is for JOIN.

Option to Omit Formatting of Comments
Option (such as a check box) to omit active style formatting of comment lines between /* and */. Similar to SQL Prompt formatting off/on without the added code lines.

Enable click-away from the window for the "Summarize Script" feature in SSMS
It would be really nice if I could click away from the summarize script window and scroll around in my script, or maximize the window for use on another monitor, or dock the window next to my script

Begin statement is not starting on a new line within an If statement. Please allow this in format styles. The option is there but it doesn't
When Place Begin - End statements on new line is selected it doesn't appear to work as part of an If statement. This makes the begin and end difficult to find

Add possibility to make snippet for "GROUP BY 'by all non-aggregated columns'"
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.

Save Query Results / Results History
One option that would be really neat, is to have the option to save the results of a query so I can compare the two sets side by side without having to drop them into Excel. e.g. run a query, tag it for archive, then after a time run the query again. And I'd have two Results Tabs in the output window. Results and Results(0). If that could be extended to multiple results windows, it would give me a simple way to track changes over time. And lastly, if tagged, the results would restore with the tab.

"Re-connect" right-click menu option in Tab History
TH knows the instance and DB the tab was connected to. Often, SSMS/SQL Prompt forget upon SSMS shut-down and fire-up the next day, to reconnect. (Happened 2020-10-02, so a current problem on just 4 tabs, when I often have a dozen open).
Select one or more from any of the lists ==> right-click ==> new option to "Reconnect to saved instance-DB", or "Connect all to an Instance" (Problem with that is the default to master means we likely have to visit every tab anyway - unless RG gives us a better version of the Connect dialog! Where it connects and…

Warn about always true WHERE clauses such as ID = ID instead of ID = @ID
It is common to create functions and stored procedures that have parameters with the same name as fields. Sometimes the @ is mistakenly skipped when creating a WHERE condition and you end up with something like ID = ID instead of ID = @ID. I would like intellisense that warns me about this type of error.
