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?

"Prompt AI" allow more database objects, or a defined lists of schemas
Tried to test out the new Prompt AI feature and cannot use it to generate SQL as the DB has more than 4000 objects (over 6000 actually). It would be great to limit the schemas within the DB where I want the AI tool to "know about" so that A) it keeps the AI focused on just the schemas it needs to answer most questions and B) it keeps the overall list of objects and time needed to poll them more manageable. In absence of this, allow more objects.

Toggle SQL Prompt Suggestions
I love the immediate suggestions when I need/want them, however when I do not want them, the suggestion box ends up blocking my screen more than it helps (Often blocking code I want to reference in a future query) and there is not a good way to make the suggestion box go away without clicking away from wherever it was suggesting.
I know I can delay the popup and manually show suggestions with ctrl+space, but I would love to be able to manually hide them as well with ctrl+space as a simple toggle. It would greatly help me and other…

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.

Export to Excel bug -- Excel says it needs to repair data
Since upgrading to latest version of SQL Prompt, I seem to be getting an error from Excel when I choose "Open in Excel". The XML recovery log looks like this:
<recoveryLog xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main">
<logFileName>error09000001.xml</logFileName>
<summary>Errors were detected in file 'C:\Users\ned.bush\AppData\Local\Temp\raovxova.xw3\Exported results 2022-10-2509-18-50.xlsx'</summary>

<repairedPart>Repaired Part: /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part with XML error. HRESULT 0x8000ffff Line 1, column 0.</repairedPart>

Script as Insert
With the Script as INSERT feature, give the option to just copy the CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements to the clipboard.
I regularly create Temp Tables to store query results when working through a SPROC. (Generate a dataset, throw it in a temp table to use for later, drop it at the end of the SPROC. More efficient than doing one massive Select with Subqueries.) When you Script as INSERT, that's created in a new tab. I copy that code and go back to the original tab.
Would be convenient if I could copy straight to the clipboard and…

Allow SQL PROMPT to resolve constants in an ORDER BY clause
If I create a query with an ORDER BY clause such as ORDER BY 1, 2; SQL Prompt will flag the ORDER BY and report ORDER BY clause with constants.
It would be nice to have an option to have SQL Prompt replace the constant(s) with the correct column names.

«Script as INSERT» should include SET IDENTITY_INSERT «table name» ON & OFF
When using the «Script as INSERT» functionality, I always have to manually wrap the INSERT statements with SET IDENTITY_INSERT «table name» ON and OFF.
The state of the IDENTITY-property of the PK is available. Would you please at least include a togglable property to allow for the automatic addition of this very useful functionality please?

Bulk Action - Qualify Object Names
Run Qualify Object Names operation without having to open each file in SSMS.
I want to be able to apply best practices in bulk. Opening individual files and running qualify object names is very time consuming. It would be nice to do this operation in Bulk on a folder or list of files.

Offer to do update when client is closed
Rather than reminding about updates, it would be helpful to offer the ability to do a pending update as soon the client has been closed, as Visual Studio now does.

Moving commas INDEPENDENTLY between front and end (for debugging mainly)
DAX Studio has a splendid feature that I think is missing from SQL Prompt and could be rather easily implemented. In DAX Studio one can switch with one mouse click between putting commas before or after the column names. The "before" option greatly speeds up debugging but such formatting should not be left in production. In prod we want to have commas after the column name. Would it be possible to add a quick action or option to SQL Prompt so that commas are immediately placed at the end or beginning of column names? I know there are formatting styles…

Add 'Reconnect All tabs' button
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.4 votes -
Make auto savings of my open queries in case the program suddenly crashes
Sometimes my SSMS crashes. The Crash recovery of the program is not good enough. Would love to see "auto save" option that will save the open queries to history each time I'm idle for few moments. It would be much easier to recover than reproduce

Fix the confusing multiple usage of your company name
You should fix the use of multiple versions of your name (Red Gate | Red-Gate | Redgate | redgate | red-gate) across all software and communications. See attached picture.
We try to promote your products in our consulting company, but everyone uses a different name to refer to your company.

Ability to exclude certain objects (Procedures/Functions/Files...etc.) from being processed for a rule
Currently there is no way to tell Code Analysis to ignore this specific object for a specific rule which has led to several false positives and wasted time re-investigating how to address the issue in the object only to come to the same conclusion as before that this is one of the rare cases where breaking that rule is ok.
My example is we have one stored procedure out of a thousand where the use of a NVARCHAR(2) makes sense and is actually more efficient then switching to a NCHAR(2) for what the code needs to do. Unfortunately the procedure…

Find invalid objects in multiple databases
Please could you add an option to check for invalid objects in multiple databases and to be able to export the results in either a single file or 1 per database. It's a real pain doing 1 at a time and manually selecting the results to do a copy/paste.
