  1. I got a suggestion from SQL Prompt for "Slow cached time detected".The link (seen in the screenshot) was this one:

    https://documentation.red-gate.com/sp/managing-sql-prompt-behavior/managing-connections-and-memory

    So from what I understand, I need to manually go through all databases and schemas and select the ones I think are used to the most in order to only load suggestions for them, in order to improve performance?

    While I generally like SQL Prompt, the first word that came to mind was that this pretty much sucked, but let's just say it's less that optimal I think. Given that we’re in the ”AI age”, I was hoping that…

  2. SQL Prompt and SSMS do not have the option to create/remove block comments. This is a serious problem.

    We SQL Prompt users would love the option to add/remove block comments in SQL, between the marks /* and */, because they sometimes serve very different purposes.

    Inline comment options (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + C or Ctrl + K, Ctrl + U) are helpful, but they don't always do exactly what we need. Sometimes they can break things. See below.

    /*
    Sometimes we need block comments that cover multiple lines.
    Like this.
    /
    /
    Or comments where each line begins and…

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. When a column(s) on the Results Grid is selected, show the Count, Distinct Count, Avg, Min, Max, Sum of the data in the column(s). Make it an option as to what to show by default, but with the option of widening or narrowing the aforementioned data.

  6. Add an Enable checkbox in the Style Sheet | Global | Parenthesis settings.

    When SQL Prompt encounters the 'old style' usage of TOP, without parenthesis, automatically enclose the apparent 'what' in parenthesis.

  7. I prefer opening SSMS with no tabs and use SQL History to navigate tab history. It would be great to have an option to open SQL History on startup and/or if SQL History is docked then redock SQL History on startup

  8. Currently, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, and ODER can all be right-aligned to SELECT when formatting SQL. However, if you introduce a LEFT JOIN, the LEFT keyword is right-aligned to SELECT, and everything else is pushed over to make room for the JOIN. This is hideous and makes no sense.

    Instead, allow the entirety of "LEFT JOIN", "RIGHT JOIN", "INNER JOIN" and "OUTER JOIN" to right-align to the SELECT keyword.

    The attached images explain it better than I can.

  9. When you use the interactive sign in with AD option with a SQL database, it's not very stable in it's connection. I suspect it's either not supporting the refresh tokens (if it has them) or hasn't got the right detection for an expired token.

    When authentication fails in this mode, it gives up silently and functionality starts to turn off as it can't connect to the database - see attached log.

    I have to close SSMS every 3 hours or so, which forces SQL prompt to re-authenticate and get a new token. Turning on/off suggestions does not trigger a reauthentication.

  10. I have a handful of tables/views I use the same aliases for. I want to have SQL Prompt add those aliases when it completes the table/view name, but not automatically create new aliases for all of the other tables/views

  12. With SQL Prompt, and selecting "Copy as IN clause" on a resultset, is it possible to format the result as all one line, like:

    IN (1,2,3,4,5,6)

    instead of what it does currently:

    IN (

    1,

    2,

    3,

    4,

    5,

    6) ?

    Having it all on one line makes a statement easier to read, when there are a lot of items in the list.

  13. For those of us who have to move between current and older versions of SQL Server, provide a tool to toggle all TRIMS in a script to LTRIM(RTRIMS()) and vice versa to make it easier to adapt scripts when moving between server version.

  14. Our dev group versions our styles. A small change between style versions can cause numerous changes in a single file making peer reviews more difficult than they need to be.

    My suggestion is to add an Format > Styles > Actions option to add style stamp. Implementation would be adding a comment with a style/version stamp at the top of the file when a format is applied. If the comment exists prior to formatting, that style will be used by SQL Prompt regardless of selected style. If the style/version is not found, the selected style is used. To change which…

  15. '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?

  17. Occasionally I must edit the definition of a computed column. As editing a computed column is not allowed from SQL, would be nice to generate a script that would facilitate this update, similar to the rename script. (Ie, drops indexes, drops the field, recreates the field, and recreates the indexes.)

    Obviously this is similar to the functionality of the Smart Rename, except doesnt' have to edit Views and Sprocs, so hopefully most of the logic could quickly copy over from there!

  18. When you open the command pallet the tools under the Commands tab like 'Add Commas' and 'Add Quotes and Commas' are extremely useful. It would be a tremendous time saver to not have to get to them via the menu and simply be able to assign them to Shortcut Keys and/or Toolbar buttons. There are quite a few options that can be assigned to buttons, but not these. Please consider adding this feature.

    Thanks,

  19. I would love an option where, after adding an alias to a table, you can add it as a prefix to all columns coming from that particular table at once.

    Some keystroke like Ctrl + F2 would be nice.

  20. Currently, SQL prompt doesn't support the windows certificate store like most applications do. The only way to work around that currently is to simply trust all certificates which is inconvenient (having to set this across potentially hundreds of server connections) and a security gap.

    SQL prompt should either provide an option to leverage the certificates. Currently, if a blanket trust is not provided, SSMS and SQL in general will work fine, but SQL prompt will cease to function, since the application (visual studio, SSMS) will connect correctly, but SQL prompt will not.
