  1. When writing statements like 'ssf s [tab] [enter]' to produce the statement in exhibit A based on the prompt suggestions, the alias 's' gets interpreted as another shortcut for additional keywords as seen in exhibit B. It would be nice if SQL Prompt was aware of its own shortcuts and produced some other unique alias so it didn't collide and create parser errors

    --Exhibit A
    SELECT * FROM config.Service AS S

    --Exhibit B
    SELECT * FROM config.Service AS SELECT

    I’m going to close this request because it looks like this was only an issue when the SSMS Tools Pack was installed – the solution was to disable snippets in the tools pack. If you’re still having problems with its snippets disabled then let me know.

  2. When we right-click a table in the object explorer and choose "Edit top 200 rows" (SS2008 onwards), the SQL editor is not the T-SQL script editor so SQL Prompt is unavailable. It would prove VERY helpful to have full SQL Prompt "Suggestions" functionality available.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    Ideally, we’d love to respond individually to every request, but currently we can’t due to the volume of unanswered tickets. We’re clearing up our UserVoice backlog to make it easier for us as a small team to prioritize the most valuable features moving forward. Therefore, due to a lack of recent interest in this ticket, we have decided to close it.

    If you feel strongly about it, we encourage you to create a new request.

    Thanks,

  4. Track how often columns are joined by the user, and suggest based on common joins (for that user), not just foreign key/name/datatypes.

  5. I would like SQL Prompt to be able to insert WITH (NOLOCK) when writing SELECT and JOIN statements. When working with production data, the risk of forgetting to write this chunk and locking data rows is very high.

    Thanks for all the feedback here.

    After review, the team have decided to decline this specific suggestion. But, we’ll take forward Kendra’s code analysis suggestion in the comments below.

  6. Ex.
    Select * from invoice where Status='<intelisense here if status is constraint or smaller lookup table)'

  8. In Object Explorer you can filter tables. It would be nice if these filters could be persistent. That is that they would remain when you restart SSMS (Actually MS should fix this)

  11. I have my (personal preference) format case set to lowercase for reserved keywords, built-in functions and built-in data types. When I use snippets however, the case remains the same as the snippet was original setup - would be nice if the snippets followed the same rules as the auto-complete

    I’m going to close this request as the latest version of Prompt 6 doesn’t have a Pro version.

  13. Define a SQLPrompt extened property for use as an alais for a table or column name that can be used by the aliases option in SQLPrompt

  15. I would like an option to format select to one line. And make it so that you can save multiple option sets for formatting preferences.

    For example ordinarily a mult line select is good. However in some situations such as copying select statements into a text box it needs to be formatted to be on one line.

    Being able to define mulitple option sets and creating an option to keep select on one line would resolve the issue.

  16. Rather than individually defining aliases per table, add an option to use capitalised letters of tables/views to define an alias.

    eg.

    Customer = C
    mem_Membership = M

    cus_StateCustomer = SC

    aReallyLongTableName = RLTN

    view_CustomerMembership = CM

  17. Add a fixed place in the query window, e.g. at the right or bottom of it, where to show the suggestion box and/or object defintions window. Thus that the SSMS intellisense tool window is not overlayed by it.

  19. I like to indent SET so my variable names line up with DECLARE. For instance:

    DECLARE @Variable int;
    ------- SET @Variable = 0;

    (the hyphens are my HTML workaround would actually be spaces)

  20. For a Table or View or UDF, either in Explorer or with the object selected in a script, right-click to develop to the clipboard or new query window a list of DECLARE statements reflecting the object's column names in the simple form:

    For SS2005, separate
    DECLARE @column1<<TAB>><column1_data_type>
    DECLARE @column2<<TAB>><column2_data_type>

    For SS2008:
    DECLARE @column1<<TAB>><column1_data_type>
    , @column2<<TAB>><column2_data_type>
