  1. Tab Colors add a great feature to know I am on a production server. It would be improved by being accessibility compliant. In the attached you can see black on red is harder to see than white on red.

  2. Great improvement (at least for me, but I doubt I am alone with this issue) to connect all tabs on opening SSMS would be to enable to invoke this on click/keyboard shortcut.
    I am working through VPN and every disconnect means I have to close and re-open the app, losing pinned tab status and tab ordering.

  3. A formatting feature to change syntax between these two forms

    SELECT field1 AS Alias1, field2 AS Alias2 FROM table1

    SELECT Alias1 = field1, Alias2 = field2 FROM table1

    Ideally useable without having to invoke the "Format SQL" command.
    Hopefully selectable as an enabled option within a Format SQL style set.

    I spend a non-trivial amount of time reformatting SQL code for leading/trailing comma placement and alias AS/= placement, this would be a HUGE help

  5. Either detect and scrub passwords from tab history, or store the history files securely so they can't be copied by backup software and viewed as plain text on the drive without a password.

  6. It would be appreciated if you could enhance the SqlPrompt Formatting Styles functionality. I believe this would go in the STATEMENTS >>> Data (DML) section.

    I'd like to continue using the "If there are multiple expressions" item of the "Place GROUP BY / ORDER BY expression on new line" drop-down. But I'd like those expressions to be indented; they presently all left-align to the GROUP BY.

    Also, while you're there, it seems that it would be good to also have add an "If longer than wrap column" option to the above-mentioned drop-down.

  7. It would be appreciated if you could enhance the SqlPrompt Formatting Styles functionality for the Clauses >>> JOIN section. I'd like the ON keyword to stay on the same line as the table-name, but when constraints are line-wrapped, I'd just like them to be "normally" indented.

    Presently, the only way to get close to this behavior is to check the "Place ON keyword on new line" checkbox and set "ON keyword alignment" to "Indented". But I don't want that box checked.

  9. Currently it is hardly possible to search for column assignments like "Column1 = 0". The results include any words having zero.

    This request is similar to the "allow multiple keywords searches", but it is for a button named "SQL Search" instead of "Tab History".

    Either treat "match whole words only" as the entire search text entered is matched exactly or introduce another checkbox "Search as Regex" to handle this scenario.

  11. It would be very useful to be able produce where clause from copied horizontal selection from the results grid. For example from the uploaded image, where clause should be

    WHERE CTA.TRANSACTIONDATE = '2021-06-27'
    AND CTA.TRANSACTION
    TYPECODE = 52
    AND CTA.ITEM
    CODE = 1500012200
    AND CTA.ITEMBARCODE = '8001841964966'
    AND CTA.YOUR
    COMPANYCR = 104183
    AND CTA.OTHER
    ENTITY_CR = 46084

  13. Please add the wildcard extension (select * => select col1, col2, ...) to SqlPrompt in ADS, the same as it works in SSMS.

  14. After removing of SQL Code debugging features beginning with Management Studio 18, it would be quite welcome to have this feature in SQLPrompt.
    Other competitors are already providing debugging.

  15. The current parenthesis options I have set for an INSERT INTO (DML) statement, only appear to work for the list of columns, but NOT for the list of values in the VALUE clause. I'm unsure why this behaviour is different, but this inconsistency seems like a bug.

    I have provided a screenshot where you can clearly see the parentheses are not aligned correct in comparison with the INSERT statement.

    Ultimately I would like for the formatting to be overall consistent.

  17. My idea is for the SQL Compare tool: when the warnings are displayed, it would be helpful to be able to copy text of these warnings to deal with them

  19. At the moment a user is warned before executing a potentially dangerous operation.
    However, junior devs might accidentally just press enter without thinking twice.
    Please add functionality to PROHIBIT execution besides WARNING (like SSMS Boost has) so that junior devs can't make mistakes at all.
    It would be fantastic if this would be possible.

  20. When a date or datetime field appears in a WHERE clause, include Suggestions of the following nature and dynamically substitute them upon selection with the nondeterministic or deterministic equivalents:

    (I couldn't get my table to format nicely here - please see the copy in the uploaded file.)

    (If it's currently 11am on Friday August 20 2021...)

    Suggestion Nondeterministic replacement Deterministic replacement

    now GETDATE() CAST('11am 20 August 2021' AS DATETIME)
    today CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) CAST('20 August 2021' AS DATE)
    yesterday DATEADD(DAY, -1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) CAST('19 August 2021' AS DATE)
    tomorrow DATEADD(DAY, 1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) CAST('21 August 2021' AS DATE)…
