  1. I would like to be able to better automate our onboarding process for new developers by helping ensure their snippets folder, formatting style folder and default formatting style are correctly setup. Additionally we would like to be able to automatically import settings from UNC/source control for them. This reduces the inevitability that something is missed when trying to follow a setup guide we have to additionally maintain. Thanks!

  4. So I'm not sure if this is something that SQL Prompt has the ability to do or not as far as access to SSMS.

    When you customize syntax coloring in SSMS, it sees variables, tables, column names, etc all as the same thing...."Identifiers"....I would love it if I were able to specify a different coloring scheme for variables, separate from the rest of the identifiers.

  5. While using Shift-F5 to execute the current statement, any BEGIN TRANSACTIONS above your UPDATE are ignored, running it not in a transaction.
    I shouldn't use Shift-F5 probably, but it's becoming a habit and could be very expensive when forgetting to highlight-execute.

  6. I don't want to globally turn off warnings for UPDATE or DELETE without WHERE clause, but would like an authorization text that disables the warning in a given script:

    -- Currently Warns:
    DELETE FROM dbo.Person

    -- Suggestion - comment would authorize the delete to not warn
    /* Authorized */
    DELETE FROM dbo.Person

  7. The only edge Apex has over SQL Prompt formatting, at least for my use, is being able to organize long equations. If I am using a large number of columns for an equation, I'd like to place each new column on a new line.

  8. Currently, SQL Prompt either allows you to apply casing all at once with the Apply Casing Options, or it does it as you type if Enable Suggestions is turned on.

    Please add a feature so that I can have casing applied as I type, but without the suggestions.

  10. Regardless of the source table, we would like the option to force table, column, and alias names to lower case. (We integrate databases from multiple sources and our queries look like a mess when half of the columns are upper case and half are lower).

    Example:
    SELECT dp.PROJID AS cpprojid,
    pld.suffix AS project
    segment,
    IP.projectnumber AS innprojid
    FROM DEL.PROJ AS dp
    INNER JOIN DEL.view
    projectlvldetail AS pld
    ON pld.PROJID = dp.projid
    LEFT OUTER JOIN inn.PROJ AS IP
    ON dp.PROJID LIKE IP.cpproj_id + '%'

    I think this is hard…

  11. When hovering over an object like a Proc or a View, and you click the link in the pop-up to view the contents of that object. It would be nice if there was a simple search function. Many times when I'm viewing the contents of an object, it's just because I want to see where it's making a particular reference, so I have to copy, open a new tab and then search.

  13. Please introduce Schema-Folders in SQL-Server Object Explorer
    as shown in
    https://github.com/nicholas-ross/SSMS-Schema-Folders

    Or make SQL-Prompt working together with
    https://github.com/nicholas-ross/SSMS-Schema-Folders.

    The Features "Show in Object Eplorer" and "Skript Object as ALTER"
    don't work together with Nicolas Ross' Schema Folders

  14. It would be nice if the "Encapsulate as new stored procedure" logic used named parameter style so I don't immediately get ST008 in my code which calls the new proc.

  15. What I sometimes run into, is that a table gets an alias (by SQL prompt), that matches an acronym for a snippet. Then, whenever I'm writing out my query, while calling the table by alias, snippet manager replaces the alias with the full snippet. Which can be annoying as Ctrl-Z doesn't work.

    My suggestion would be to check the snippet manager before assigning aliases and not have them overlap.
    Thanks.

  18. As we are using a dedicated group of virtual machines for using our high privilege accounts, we don't know at login time on which machine we will have a session. Currently the settings of SQL Prompt are stored under “…\AppData\Local...”. After each logoff we loose these settings. According to the Microsoft standards, the settings should be stored under “…\Appdata\Roaming...”. Could this be changed in a future version?

  19. The Format SQL command currently overlooks these keywords and they end up appended to the last line of the ORDER BY clause. Ideally, I'd like to have the option to place both OFFSET and FETCH NEXT on separate lines, aligned just like the SELECT, FROM, WHERE, and ORDER BY keywords.

  20. When auto-completing an "EXEC storedProc" statement, SQL Prompt will generate the input arguments (and outputs) and generate sample values for the input arguments. If an input argument is of type datetime, SQL Prompt generates a string literal that is equivalent to current date and time in UTC. Please provide an option to either generate a string literal that is the current date and time in the local time zone.
