Add Excel Like Gripd To Results Options
Add to the Results To options an Excel Like grid that presents the results i8n a grid but allows for Excel like functuionality without re-executing the query.
I often am sending my data (via copy & paste) to Excel for aditional reserahc because the query takes a long time to run and I alrady have the core data I needd, I just need to fin tune it bu re-sorting or even re-aggregating the data differently.
It wulod be a killer plus if Microsoft simply reaplced the existing SSMS Grid with a mini-version of Excel but since Thats not likely any…

Organize objects in SSMS with a folder stucture
The reason I would like to see the folders is strictly for organizational purposes. I have so many procedures and tables in one database that I have to scroll through them all to find what I’m looking for. If I could organize by schema (or however I choose) and very quickly and jump back and forth between the different folders, that would help me out tremendously. The SQL filter function is so slow when going back and forth.
What if I could organize sql instances that I'm connected to in one SSMS. Production and Development folders?? Just another thought.

Visual indication on open transaction
Show a visual indication when open transactions exist in a query window (@@TRANCOUNT > 0)
It could be changing the background color of the query window, and a number in the status bar showing the current transaction depth or something like that.

Please include support for Extended Events in SQL Prompt
Extended Events is a great feature in SQL Server. Without support for this in SQL Prompt makes it incomplete.
I know we have a GUI for it in SQL Server 2012. But it will quite sometime before everybody is on the latest version of SQL Server14 votes -
Add Colors to Database/Server Icons in Object Explorer
Coloring the Tabs is very nice. I would love to have the database/server icons be colored (or at least a small colored dot on them) so I could see at a glance in Object Explorer what server the database is on.

Option to include the schema when generating an alias.
I have tables that repeat in different schemas, for example Supplier.Location and Customer.Location. I'd really like auto-alias to include the schema when generating the alias. Supplier.Location should be SL and Customer.Location should be CL. Instead I end up with L and L2, which is not as clear.
Ideally, I'd prefer the schema characters to be lowercase and the table to be uppercase. Using sL and cL would make my query even more readable.

Ability to Save invalid objects list instead of re-running entire database each time
When you are working with a rather large database it would be nice to be able to save a list of invalid objects to come back rather than having to re-run through the entire database again.

Spell check on comments.
Spell check on comments would be a nice addition to SQL Prompt. I know there can be misspellings within variables, table or any type of SQL object, but to at least have it in the comments would be nice.

Align aliases, commas, datatypes and expressions at the next tab stop
I align aliases, commas, datatypes and expressions at the first tab stop following the longest element in the list. See examples below:
-- Tilde character used as space replacement to cope with HTML formatting
-- 2-character tabs are assumed below
-- In a fixed-space font, the commas, = signs, data types and AS keywords would all line up vertically
DECLARE
~~@x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~INT~~~~~~~~~,
~~@var~~~~~~~~~~~~VARCHAR(4)~~,
~~@longer_varname~VARCHAR(10)~,
~~@z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DATETIME~~~~;SELECT
~~~~@longer_varname~=~'x'~~~~~~~,

Right-click highlighted table and "Create Alias"
When I find I want to define my own table Alias within SQL Prompt, I must go to the menu, click SQL Prompt, scan down for "Options", scan down for "Aliases", click "New" and then do something useful.
Please obviate ALL THIS, by giving a right-click fastpath to "Add Alias" while in the script editor. If the table name happens to already exist, please position the list at it (just in case SQL Prompt had issues...)
It is very laborious to have to navigate through all these clicks just to add an alias while in the code.

Add a new "Modify" menu item when right clicking views in Object Explorer
To get an ALTER script for an existing stored proc or UDF you just need to right click it in Object Explorer and select Modify. For views you can't do this. You have to select "Script view as.." then "Alter to..." then "New query editor window". It's only two extra mouse clicks but they are two very annoying mouse clicks! I was hoping this would have come back for SQL2012 as you used to be able to do this in SQL2000, but it hasn't. Redgate to the rescue?

Execute current statment
Shift-F5 is great but I think this change could make it better.
Before I discovered Shift-F5 and when I had multiple sql statements in my window, I would select the block of sql I wanted and hit F5 to just execute that code block. Then I discovered Shift-F5 and I no longer had to select my sql block it was done for me - but what it doesn't do is actually select the code block, instead it just highlights it in green and executes it. So if you just do an F5 (out of habit) after a Shift-F5 it won't…9 votes -
JOIN hints based on a view's underlying table's foreign key constraints
When joining views, the only suggestions currently available are for columns with the same name. It would be nice if, for simple enough views, SQL Prompt looked at the underlying tables for foreign key constraints and use them in the suggestions.

Have column selector available on insert statements
I noticed as a new user that when I type in INSERT INTO [table_name] ( column1, etc) that the column selector option is grayed out. When building insert statements that use a select to provide the data being inserted I have to manually select each column. Could you enable column picker in an insert statement?

Better tab management
1)Automatically name tabs generated by modifying a stored procedure in the Object Explorer. I noticed you added the functionality to right-click on a procedure name in-line and generate an ALTER script. That's AWESOME, and even more awesome is the fact that the tab is named by default. Usually tabs in SMS have some dynamically-generated name that's useless.
2) add ability to rename a tab without saving the contents of the tab. Just a right-click->Rename
3) Hovering over a tab should give you a pop-up with the first dozen or so lines of text in that tab.101 votes
