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.103 votes -
Bulk Smart Rename
Enhance Smart Rename to accept a list of name changes.
Even if it runs the existing smart rename and concatenates the scripts it would save a lot of data entry time versus doing each change one at a time.
You should require fully qualified names in the import data to avoid ambiguity errors.
58 votesWe’re going to be reviewing this over the next couple of months, which would be released via the SQL Prompt for Teams EAP (get in touch if you want to know more).
In the meantime please add any other information that you think would be useful.

Auto generate parameters based on a scan of a query
I tend to debug SSRS queries/scripts quite a lot in SSMS. Usually these queries contain 1-10 parameters. It would save large amounts of time if I can paste the query into SSMS and run some SQL Prompt command to auto generate at the top of the query all the parameter declarations ready for default values.

Better memory management
Sql Prompt is a memory hog and causes SSMS to routinely be my biggest consumer of available memory. I just opened SSMS and refreshed the objects in a rather large database and SSMS is consuming 572 MB of memory. When you compare this to the 92 MB that SSMS uses on a fresh start up the difference is quite shocking.

Smart Rename should include renaming a Schema
Self explanatory... Need to right-click a user-defined schema and be able to generate a script that effects the scema rename and code within all affected objects. Would be great to add a list of additional databases in which to look for candidate objects to change: triggers, SPs, UDFs...

warn against data truncation
I would be nice if SQL-prompt could warn against posible data truncation.
Like assigning a int value to a tinyint field/variable or assigning a varchar(30) to a varchar(3).
I want it both at an global analysis (like find invalid objects) and in the current scrip edit (while modifying a trigger / procedure / function).13 votes -
Extend 'Find Invalid objects' to find other 'problems'. E.g. unaliased fields, wildcards etc.
It would be lovely to find other elements in the database that may not stop it from working right now but are 'problems waiting to happen'. Other examples might be to search for field names that clash with reserved terms.

SQL Prompt API
I think having an API to format generated SQL scripts, whether it be from the SQL Compare API or another process like SMO objects, to able to apply the formats saved in SQL Prompt.
34 votesIt would be great if you could let us know more about how you’d use a Prompt API / command line version of Prompt.
What problems are you having without it?
How are you getting around those?
How would this make your work better? -
More "power" to tabs
1) add a possibility to set custom colours to tabs
2) pin in/pin out tabs
3) automatically set colour for executing queries tabs
4) add possibility to pop-up windows when query execution finish13 votes -

Intellisense for Linked Server connection to MySQL ODBC
I have been using SQL Prompt for awhile and one of the best feature I like about it is the fact that Intellisense works even on Linked Server to other MSSQL databases.
Recently however, I have set up Linked server to MySQL ODBC connections and I noticed that Intellisense is no longer returning the table names and column names in the predictive boxes.
I then tested this to other ODBC connection. I set up Firebird (DB2) and Oracle and Intellisense seems to be working for these (only for table names, not columns but that's better than nothing).
Is there a…

convert SQL to a vbb (or c#) string statement
in toad you can get it to convert a SQL statement into a VB or C# statement. i.e. if you have
select * from atable
where a = 'FREE'this would be converted to
SQL = "select * from atable"
sql =sql & "where a = 'FREE'"this is then pasted into the clipboard
it can also do the reverse, have a chunk of VB code with a SQL statement, past it into the window, highlight it and it will try and convert it back to straight SQL (do not worry about variables added into the the vbcode, even toad…

Change quote completion behavior within Openquery or dynamic SQL strings
I really like auto quote completion, but when I am working with an openquery statement or dynamic sql where I am having to escape quotes by doubling them up, I find myself fighting the "helpful" behavior of quote completion either refusing to add a second quote or it adds too many quotes.
So, my suggestion is that the quote completion feature check to see if you are trying to add quotes within a quoted string and change its behavior to either not do quote completion or to (even better) automatically add escaped quotes.To illustrate the problem and my proposed…

Format pasted-in list
I need a way to format a group of text items into a SQL query that I'm going to use for an "IN ('item1','item2','item3')" clause within the WHERE clause. There's got to be a simpler way than manually keying in all the single quotes and commas, particularly when the comma triggers SQL Prompt to start trying to prompt each time, so I have to add an Esc keypress to get SQL Prompt out of the way.
