  1. Love the Recently Used Suggestions feature. It's like it's reading my mind and is a definite time saver.

  2. So i specifically excluded our "temp" schema from my suggestions and it works brilliantly, however, when specifically want that schema, after completing the schema name it should show me the suggestion within that schema? -
    Currently my options are to remove the "don't show suggestions" for the temp schema and then add it again after this session.

  3. Current formatting is:

    CASE
    WHEN 1 = 1 THEN
    'Hello World'
    END

    I need the option to put the expression on the same line:

    CASE
    WHEN 1 = 1 THEN 'Hello World'
    END

  4. SQL Prompt fails badly in formatting window functions. As these are present at least since SQL 2014, SQL Prompt should be able to interpret them and format them accordingly.

    Example:

    I would format the LAG() function as follows:

    SELECT
    myColumn AS realColumn
    ,LAG(myColumn, 1, 0)
    OVER (
    PARTITION BY someColumn
    ORDER BY anotherColumn) AS calculatedColumn

    Try this with SQL Prompt - it's result is not very nice...

  5. It keeps suggesting table names dbo.Something when writing the where clause even if the table is not in any join clauses. This is a pain as I keep selecting the table instead of the column if the names are similar.

  6. Please could you add a feature that parses a query that has already been written, adds aliases for tables that don't already have them and update columns to use those aliases.

    This is because I often get pieces of code which are partially aliased and I have to go through updating the missing ones. Thanks.

  8. In the setting of SQL Prompt there should be an option to create a list of servers.

    When SSMS then starts It should automatically create a connection to this list of servers in Object Explorer.

    It would be a great feature, when working with the same servers, it takes a long time to connect to servers everyday when work starts :-)

  9. I'd like a NuGet lib to be able to apply SQL Prompt styles to a folder of .sql files or a StreamReader string. I have a console app I'm using to produce a lot of Sql Files and I'd like to create a "everything on one-line" style that I use internally when processing things. There could be tons of other uses as well.

  10. Request title:
    SSMS add a pane with a vertical list of open queries
    Description:
    In SSMS add a pane with a vertical list of open queries similar to the Object Explorer pane that can be docked/undocked that you can see the entire file name and quickly navigate or choose from the entire list of tabs of open query files to choose from.
    So, instead of horizontal tabs where the file name and other details that are partially hidden or don’t appear if many files are open, have an option to show a vertical list of open files.
    Add ability to…

  11. Microsoft SQL Operations Studio is in preview mode and shows a lot of potential. I would probably switch from SSMS right now if SQL Prompt was supported. Please add SQL Prompt!

    With SQL Prompt, you can use an extensive collection of code snippets to write your SQL code quickly and efficiently. You can also keep your code consistent using the powerful formatting capability, with the ability to customise the applied style to suit your preferences.

    We’d love to hear your feedback. You can get in touch with the team either via the new SQL Prompt in ADS forum: https://forum.red-gate.com/categories/sql-prompt-in-ads or email us at sqlprompt.in.ads@red-gate.com.

  12. Selecting code then pressing CTRL brings up the action list, but only 6 items are shown in this list, meaning that for many uses, scrolling or searching (moving is required. A longer list (ideally user-settable) would mean moving mouse directly to most items and selecting is possible.

  13. Highlight of today was when I ran

    DROP USER MyUser
    

    In the wrong (production) database.

    Please add a warning to SQL Prompt, like your
    "You're about to execute a DELETE statement without a WHERE clause"

    When you run a DROP USER or a DROP LOGIN statement on a production server. Not only does the user or login disappear, but also all rights granted to the user.

    Maybe add the question “are you in the correct database?”

  14. Have it not break Visual Studio 2017 even when selecting that you don't want it to be integrated with it.
    The problem is that we could no longer get latest version after installing your software and then rebooting. Here is an email that I just sent to a group of people that have had the issue for at least a week before we narrowed the problem...

    Guess what!?

    We found what caused the issue, can reproduce it, and fix it.

    The issue is with Redgate’s software, specifically SQL Prompt for us.
    This is the reason that John never had the…

  15. Sometimes SQL Prompt generates an alias that matches an existing snippet key. My suggestion would be to ignore snippets when it's an auto generated alias.
    example:
    select * from DataEnvironment de (where de is the automatic alias) becomes
    select * from DataEnvironment DELETE

    It's rather annoying :)

  16. when stored procedures have variables with defaults, your auto complete intellisense does not set the default. for example, if the parameter @a is an int = 5 in the creation of the proc, your auto complete says @a = 0 --int

  17. I would like to control the list behavior on a clause by clause basis so that I can separate the formatting on my DECLARE statements differently than lists within SELECT and INSERT statements. As it stands, these are conflicting changes. So, the only way to get each variable declared on a separate line is to also have every column in other statements on a separate line. I'd like to be able to do BOTH of these:

    DECLARE @GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER = NEWID(),
    @Char CHAR(1) = 'A',
    @Int INT = 1,
    @Datetime DATETIME = CURRENTTIMESTAMP,
    @Decimal DECIMAL(18,10) = 1.0,
    @Date DATE

  18. Currently I have query tabs in two separate windows within SSMS to view data and queries side by side. After closing and re-opening, it would be great if these segregated tabs went back into their appropriate windows. Along with that, it would be great if it would only load back in the tabs for the server we are connected too. Not also the tabs that I had open in a different instance of SSMS to a different server; which I had displayed on a different monitor for more side by side viewing.

  19. We have adopted SCG and have commented out areas of code we do not want checking with scgignore. The new version of SCG command prompt and SQL Prompt do not recognise these comments, and report the area of code with warnings.
    Please amend so they are not reported, or at least reported differently so we can ignore.
