Detect variable declared in potentially unreachable scope
Unlike a proper programming language TSQL allows you to declare a variable inside an IF block (or some other scope) and then use the variable outside that IF block, even if the IF block is not entered during run time. This can lead to errors if the code outside the IF is testing for certain values.
It would be good if Code Analysis could detect this as a potentially dangerous coding structure.
E.g.
IF 1 = 0
BEGIN
DECLARE @Var VARCHAR(50) = '123';
END;
SELECT @Var1 vote -
AI to help detect databases/schemas most often used?
I got a suggestion from SQL Prompt for "Slow cached time detected".The link (seen in the screenshot) was this one:
https://documentation.red-gate.com/sp/managing-sql-prompt-behavior/managing-connections-and-memory
So from what I understand, I need to manually go through all databases and schemas and select the ones I think are used to the most in order to only load suggestions for them, in order to improve performance?
While I generally like SQL Prompt, the first word that came to mind was that this pretty much sucked, but let's just say it's less that optimal I think. Given that we’re in the ”AI age”, I was hoping that…

Add a table alias as a prefix to selected column names
I would love an option where, after adding an alias to a table, you can add it as a prefix to all columns coming from that particular table at once.
Some keystroke like Ctrl + F2 would be nice.

Copy as IN clause" on a resultset - put results all on one line
With SQL Prompt, and selecting "Copy as IN clause" on a resultset, is it possible to format the result as all one line, like:
IN (1,2,3,4,5,6)
instead of what it does currently:
IN (
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6) ?
Having it all on one line makes a statement easier to read, when there are a lot of items in the list.

Auto-Correct TOP to include Parenthesis
Add an Enable checkbox in the Style Sheet | Global | Parenthesis settings.
When SQL Prompt encounters the 'old style' usage of TOP, without parenthesis, automatically enclose the apparent 'what' in parenthesis.

SQL History SORT BY option, as in DATE DESC
SQL History sorts files by modified date ASCENDING. Its needs to be DATE DESCENDING. Need options to sort by name or date, ASC or DESC. Like how TAB HISTORY used to.

SQL history - Reintroduce lost features
SQL history. Recently this has become more indepth with greater search and history detail available. However it has lost some features which I found to be invaluable and which now make SQL history less useful to me.
Find Starred items doesn't work as well now. It uses the advanced search which does not actually show if items are starred. Please correct that.
Also there is now no ability to sort items found (in either normal or search view) by name / date etc.
Can these features be re-implemented please.

Show number detail of Result Grid selection(s)
When a column(s) on the Results Grid is selected, show the Count, Distinct Count, Avg, Min, Max, Sum of the data in the column(s). Make it an option as to what to show by default, but with the option of widening or narrowing the aforementioned data.

Open SQL History on startup / keep SQL History docked
I prefer opening SSMS with no tabs and use SQL History to navigate tab history. It would be great to have an option to open SQL History on startup and/or if SQL History is docked then redock SQL History on startup

Allow LEFT, RIGHT, INNER and OUTER JOINS to be right-aligned to SELECT.
Currently, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, and ODER can all be right-aligned to SELECT when formatting SQL. However, if you introduce a LEFT JOIN, the LEFT keyword is right-aligned to SELECT, and everything else is pushed over to make room for the JOIN. This is hideous and makes no sense.
Instead, allow the entirety of "LEFT JOIN", "RIGHT JOIN", "INNER JOIN" and "OUTER JOIN" to right-align to the SELECT keyword.
The attached images explain it better than I can.

Option to apply custom aliases (without assigning new ones)
I have a handful of tables/views I use the same aliases for. I want to have SQL Prompt add those aliases when it completes the table/view name, but not automatically create new aliases for all of the other tables/views

Add Trim() to LTRIM(RTRIM()) toggle
For those of us who have to move between current and older versions of SQL Server, provide a tool to toggle all TRIMS in a script to LTRIM(RTRIMS()) and vice versa to make it easier to adapt scripts when moving between server version.
Thanks,

Version Stamping
Our dev group versions our styles. A small change between style versions can cause numerous changes in a single file making peer reviews more difficult than they need to be.
My suggestion is to add an Format > Styles > Actions option to add style stamp. Implementation would be adding a comment with a style/version stamp at the top of the file when a format is applied. If the comment exists prior to formatting, that style will be used by SQL Prompt regardless of selected style. If the style/version is not found, the selected style is used. To change which…

SQL History
'History for SQL Queryxxx' pane - there are too many versions. I don't need a version for every minor change. How about adding an option for how often to save versions?

SQL History
Over the years my Tab/Sql History became huge, and it is working very slow. I am looking for a way to clean up.
1. There is no way to select multiple lines to delete. Delete is available only for one row. For example, every ALTER PROCEDURE creates history. I don’t need it at all. I would like to find all of them and delete.
2. There is no functionality to compress and reindex Sql History database.
3. Ironically “Send Feedback” link on a bottom of screen leads to nowhere.9 votes -
Database-specific snippets
Database-specific snippets.
We have 80 or so databases scattered across 200+ instances and many tables have similar names or identical names with differing schemas: compare person.personpe, dbo.person & finance.personpe. This particular is extreme and there are more examples but the principle applies.
I would love to be able to define pe as a snippet at a database level so that I can keep my snippet names short and so that I don't have to rename them manually when I am in SSMS with a lesser used database.

Disable update and new notifications
It would be great if you would introduce a new setting where we can turn of update- and other notifications (like "SQL 2008R2 not supported") warnings.

Computed Column Update process
Occasionally I must edit the definition of a computed column. As editing a computed column is not allowed from SQL, would be nice to generate a script that would facilitate this update, similar to the rename script. (Ie, drops indexes, drops the field, recreates the field, and recreates the indexes.)
Obviously this is similar to the functionality of the Smart Rename, except doesnt' have to edit Views and Sprocs, so hopefully most of the logic could quickly copy over from there!

Shortcut Keys and/or Button Bar Buttons for Command Tab Options Like Add Commas and Add Quotes and Commas
When you open the command pallet the tools under the Commands tab like 'Add Commas' and 'Add Quotes and Commas' are extremely useful. It would be a tremendous time saver to not have to get to them via the menu and simply be able to assign them to Shortcut Keys and/or Toolbar buttons. There are quite a few options that can be assigned to buttons, but not these. Please consider adding this feature.
Thanks,

Support for windows certificate store
Currently, SQL prompt doesn't support the windows certificate store like most applications do. The only way to work around that currently is to simply trust all certificates which is inconvenient (having to set this across potentially hundreds of server connections) and a security gap.
SQL prompt should either provide an option to leverage the certificates. Currently, if a blanket trust is not provided, SSMS and SQL in general will work fine, but SQL prompt will cease to function, since the application (visual studio, SSMS) will connect correctly, but SQL prompt will not.
