  2. SQL Prompt includes a feature to exclude specific databases – in this case, the master database – we would expect this functionality to reliably prevent any interaction with the excluded databases during code suggestions or IntelliSense operations. The current behavior suggests that the exclusion option may not be functioning as intended.

    We expect that when an exclusion is defined, no connection attempt should be made to the excluded database. This would allow all other user databases to be loaded, even if with limited functionality.

  4. New queries, as users know, have an automatic naming and numbering system:
    SQLQuery1.sql, SQLQuery2.sql, SQLQuery3.sql, etc.

    It would be helpful sometimes if the queries could have leading zeros or maybe even a different lead-in like the name of the solution. For example, SQLSolutionABC might have the default tab names:

    SQLSolutionABC001.sql, SQLSolutionABC002.sql, SQLSolutionABC003.sql, etc.

  5. frequently use the ScriptObjectAsAlter shortcut in Visual Studio to modify views and procedures. However, when the script opens, it defaults to ALTER VIEW or ALTER PROC, while our source control requires everything to be saved as CREATE OR ALTER.

    Would it be possible to introduce an option in SQL Prompt to default these scripts to CREATE OR ALTER instead of just ALTER? This would streamline the process and reduce manual edits before committing changes.

  6. For system stored procedures, some parameters have a predefined set of possible values, e.g. msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep has the parameter @on_success_action.

    The MS documentation lists this predefined list of possible values:
    1 (Default) Quit with success
    2 Quit with failure
    3 Go to next step
    4 Go to step @on_success_step_id

    It would be great if Intellisense could suggest values for these sorts of parameters, saving a trip to Microsoft's website.

  7. Surround highlighted text with 'thing' instead of replacing it. Like in azure data studio or visual studio, pressing "(" will surround the highlighted text instead of replacing it. I have created surround snippets to surround the highlighted text with what I want; it's just not as good to use.

  9. When hovering over a Table Type the pop-up window only shows tabs for Summary and Dependencies. Add a Script tab for consistent functionality when compared to other types of object such as Stored Procedures, Tables, Views, Functions etc.

  10. 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.

  13. Allow typing from table then tab to convert it to Select | from dbo.table and end up with the cursor after the from, to start typing. Now we have to write select * from table, then go back to the columns. A simple improvement.

  15. When I have Code Analysis enabled the mouse over shows the Code Analysis finding if there is something that isn't breaking a rule. However, this also makes it so that I can't see the normal mouseover behavior of an object. The only way I can see the object definition that would normally show up is if I disable Code Analysis. The only way I can do this by going in and temporarily disabling Code Analysis. Is there some way to make this more intuitive? Maybe if there is a Code Analysis finding you could show the code analysis finding and…

  16. Another white space removal feature to suggest.

    The ability to format all IN statements as:
    empType IN ('a','b','c','d')

    Rather than the default:
    empType IN ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')

    I have done some exploring in the formatting styles and scouring the forums here and this feature doesn't seem to be available.

  17. When using the Lists > "Place commas before items" combined with the CTE >" Place CTE name on a new line" options, the subsequent CTEs are getting placed on new lines after the comma is already on a new line, resulting in:

    WITH
    myCte
    AS ( SELECT 1 a )
    ,
    mySecondCte
    ( Col1, Col2 )
    AS ( SELECT
    'Test' AS ThisIsAColumn
    , 'Test2' AS ThisIsAnotherColumn
    FROM Person.BusinessEntityContact )
    SELECT *
    FROM myCte

    I believe this combination of settings should be resulting in:

    WITH
    myCte
    AS ( SELECT 1 a )
    , mySecondCte
    ( Col1, Col2 )
    AS ( SELECT…

  18. The Whitespace > "Empty lines between statements" option doesn't appear to consider BEGIN/END as separate statements from the code between them, resulting in formatting like:

    WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 20
    BEGIN
    IF @BusinessEntityID > 0
    DELETE FROM HumanResources.Employee_Temporal
    WHERE BusinessEntityID = @BusinessEntityID;
    ELSE
    BREAK;

    IF @OldId < 2000
    RETURN @OldId;
    END;

    Please modify the behavior or provide another option such that the following result can be achieved:

    WHILE @@ROWCOUNT > 20
    BEGIN

    IF @BusinessEntityID > 0
    DELETE FROM HumanResources.Employee_Temporal
    WHERE BusinessEntityID = @BusinessEntityID;
    ELSE
    BREAK;

    IF @OldId < 2000
    RETURN @OldId;

    END;

  19. Add a feature for the formatting styles for CASE expression.

    Currently the formatting is so strange, it adds indents that don't make sense.
    It should have the possibility to add CASE on a completely new line.

    Please add :Start expression on a new line or something…

  20. I would like to be able to check a box and always indent a sub-query.

    currently formatting a query works like this:
    SELECT *
    FROM dbo.tbl1 AS a
    INNER JOIN(SELECT ID FROM dbo.tbl2 WHERE value = 'y') AS b ON a.id = b.id

    when the paren is set to inline the open paren and indent the content with the indent parentheses contents checked. I would rather have a checkbox to force the sub-query to format like this:

    SELECT *
    FROM dbo.tbl1 AS a
    INNER JOIN (
    SELECT ID
    FROM dbo.tbl2
    WHERE value = 'y'
    ) AS b ON a.id =…
