  2. The updates for SQL Prompt have gotten out of hand - almost every day when logging into management studio it will prompt users to install a new update. And the notification steals focus from the main window, so it interrupts workflow. Not to mention redgate recently deployed an update that completely broke SQL Prompt in SSMS 18.1 for anyone that installed it. Users should have the ability to disable the notification completely if they so desire - "skip this version" does basically nothing when a new version is released a day later.

  3. I'd like a NuGet lib to be able to apply SQL Prompt styles to a folder of .sql files or a StreamReader string. I have a console app I'm using to produce a lot of Sql Files and I'd like to create a "everything on one-line" style that I use internally when processing things. There could be tons of other uses as well.

  4. For example, if a table is defined as such :

    CREATE TABLE dbo.T1 (
    col1 INT DEFAULT 100,
    col2 VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT 'Example',
    col3 DATETIME DEFAULT '01/01/2019'
    )

    And use auto-complete to generate and INSERT, it will produce :

    INSERT INTO dbo.T1( col1, col2, col3 )
    VALUES( 0 -- col1 - int
    ,'' -- col2 - varchar(100)
    ,GETDATE() -- col3 - datetime
    )

    Instead, it would be nice to have it produce the insert with the defined table default's, something like :

    INSERT INTO dbo.T1( col1, col2, col3 )
    VALUES( 100 -- col1 - int
    ,'Example' -- col2 - varchar(100)
    ,'01/01/2019…

  5. I would like to have the ability when using Redgate to develop a query as I do today in a new query window with all the object search and suggestions features currently offered in your product.
    After I get the query returning the correct record set, I want to be able to edit the record set without having to copy the query and navigate to SSMS’s “Edit Top XXX Rows” menu item.
    Editing a field on the row would update that field on that row when I move off the row.

  6. Hi RedGate Folks,

    I think it would be helpful if the execution warnings settings were environment-specific. I.e., in the color coding section, we can establish which connections are prod, test, dev, etc. It would be great if I could -- for instance -- turn on warnings for DROP statements in my prod environment only.

  7. Request title:
    SSMS add a pane with a vertical list of open queries
    Description:
    In SSMS add a pane with a vertical list of open queries similar to the Object Explorer pane that can be docked/undocked that you can see the entire file name and quickly navigate or choose from the entire list of tabs of open query files to choose from.
    So, instead of horizontal tabs where the file name and other details that are partially hidden or don’t appear if many files are open, have an option to show a vertical list of open files.
    Add ability to…

  8. Create auto fix for Issue code: DEP01 non-standard column aliases because of single quote delimiter. Also need to update SQL Format tool, it is currently using single quote and there is no way I could find to switch it to double quote.

  9. It would be useful to be able to copy a selection from the results grid which is pre-formatted as a WHERE clause in the same way "Copy as clause" IN works, e.g. copying a single value from ProductID column would produce WHERE ProductID = 5 and copying multiple values would produce WHERE ProductID in ( 5, 10, 15 ).

  10. Add an option to add a space between a function call, such as COUNT(), and FROM so that we don't end up with code like SELECT COUNT()FROM table. That doesn't happen when I select "Add spaces around parentheses" in the global parentheses options. The only way I've been able to get SQL Prompt to preserve that space is to select "Add spaces around parentheses" in the Function calls options, but I don't want a space between the function name and opening parenthesis.

  11. I would like an efficient way to refactor this kind of statement...

    SELECT ID, Name, Job INTO #Employee FROM Employees

    into something like this-

    CREATE TABLE #Employee (ID int, Name varchar(max), Job varchar(max))
    INSERT INTO #Employee
    SELECT ID, Name, Job
    FROM Employees

    The PE003 rule keeps triggering on these statements but it takes an annoyingly long time to write out the column definitions by hand for longer tables.

  12. Selecting code then pressing CTRL brings up the action list, but only 6 items are shown in this list, meaning that for many uses, scrolling or searching (moving is required. A longer list (ideally user-settable) would mean moving mouse directly to most items and selecting is possible.

  13. I would like a hot key combination to send the contents of my current tab to 'Tab History' without having to close the tab. There are times that I know I will need the contents of the tab in the near future (within a few hours/days) and I don't want to have to save a hard copy to my disk.

  14. The list is useful to drive code positioning, but that's all it does. Rules like ST011 that go against authoritative SQLPass presentations are noise. Yes, we can click the SQP Menu, nav to manage, scroll down, and finally disable, save, then refresh... (out of breath!). Just right-click and Disable rule, which also refreshes the list. That kind of useful RC-Menu. And instead of having to go to the Rule Maint to see exactly what the rule is enforcing, RC-menu has "Show Issue Help" in a bubble, built in. And for those cases where a rule isn't to be shut down,…

  15. When writing SQL codes I frequently use aggregate functions such as Sum, count, avg etc.
    When writing for exapmle sum(SalesVolume) it would be nice to have an autocomplete option to Sum(SalesVolume) As SalesVolume or Sum(SalesVolume) as SumSalesVolume.

  16. I'm constantly opening new SSMS windows, closing new ones, opening new visual studio windows, etc, and every time I open a new window, I have to acknowledge the upgrade prompt because it covers important parts of the window (like the status bar). Even if I select "next month" or "skip this version" I have to do the same for every new window I open since new sessions don't check for this option on existing sessions. SQL prompt is constantly getting updates (almost weekly, it seems), so i just start a new round of "skip this version" the following week.

    Can…

  17. I like the new feature to put recently-selected items at the top of the list for Intellisense. However, when I have typed an exact match, I would like to see Intellisense elevate that exact object to the top of the list.

    For example, suppose I have recently selected a table named "dbo.OrderDetail", and suppose that there is another table in the same database called dbo.Order. With the new feature, I cannot access "dbo.Order" as the top candidate, because it is a partial match of "dbo.OrderDetail," and so SQLPrompt puts that name at the top.

    In a nutshell, I would like…

  18. I hope can do this:

    1. in grid result, select all or part cells.
    2. click right button, in context menu, exists a "Copy as json" item.
    3. click "Copy as json", in other place paste, get json texts.

  19. Currently we have a standard of placing new line before and after conditions with indent accordingly such that:

    a=1
    AND
    b=2

    Current version only does:

    a=1
    AND b=2

    This is pretty much the only thing lacking from being able to just auto format all our procedures with a single click.

  20. Create Install Package for installing SQL Prompt in SSDT. SSDT is a VS shell, so Prompt should be easily incorporated.
