  1. 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!

  2. 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,

  4. Allow save and re-load a set of filters. We work in schemas by project and every morning starts with filtering all my objects by schema, and I would love to reapply filters as a set.

  7. Add a feature that when provided an SP will enumerate every SP called with that SP and down the chain until the last SP has been listed.

    NOTE: It would need to take into account circular references in which case once an SP has been enumerated if it's found again it's listed but nothing else after since that will have already been done once.

  8. When making a CREATE TABLE statement, there should be a formatting option to align the data-type behind the field names.

  9. When making a CREATE TABLE statement, I would like to have the comma at the beginning of the line.
    I've set the lists.placeCommasBeforeItems property to true, but it's not working for the DDL statement.

    So either fix the comma placement option for DDL statements or add an option for it.

  10. A nice SQL Prompt feature would be autocomplete using contents from user tables. For example, if I have a smallish table (this idea may be impractical for large tables) with a list of codes - state codes, statuses, categories, etc. - and I need to hard-code a value from the table in a query, it would be cool if SQL Prompt could do autocomplete from the contents of the table.

  11. Would it be possible to include the attached menu options in the Style format configuration? It would be very helpful to have it when Formatting SQL instaead of executing it after the Format.
    At least, "Apply Casing Options", "Qualify Object Names" and "Remove Square Brackets".

  12. We have some comments placed in the code preceeded by one or more TABs. When formatting SQL all these TABs are replaced by one WHITESPACE.
    Is it possible to maiantain these TABs?

    See attached examples.

  13. We would like an option to get rid of the semicolons. You can only configure the whitespace. When we apply "Format SQL" many semicolons are inserted in our code and we don't wnat them.
    Is it possible to add an option when formatting Style for eliminating semicolons?

  14. On our team we are very particular about the order of our joins as they are written in the query. I would like to request an option to format joins so the table you are joining on is the first item in the join. In the example below you join to tableb so the first ON clause is tableb, subsequently on the tablec join the first join is on objects from tablec.

    SELECT (columns)
    FROM tablea a
    INNER JOIN tableb b ON
    a.id = b.id
    INNER JOIN tablec c ON
    b.id2 = c.id

    To:
    SELECT (columns)
    FROM tablea a
    INNER…

  15. It should be possible to rename queries that are found by the search. Especially this concerns "starred queries". Unfortunately, the list of found queries lacks the small 3-dot menu that is available in the unfiltered list. And there you can rename a query if it is not currently open.

    That had worked in the old tab history. And it was a very important tool for me to save my queries under meaningful names.

  16. Add a Refactor/Reformat option to REMOVE NOLOCK HINTS - with the NOLOCK hint deprecated and the hint being ignored in SQL Server 2022 and beyond, it would be great if refactor option in SQL Prompt to quickly remove WITH (NOLOCK) or (NOLOCK) hints from the selected SQL. It will be useable for years when addressing older SQL that utilized that hint. It would be helpful for the next decade at least to have a quick way to clean up the old SQL statements. If you can imagine how many times NOLOCK hints have been used in SQL Server over the…

  17. When opening a "New Query" window in Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS), SQL promt automatically load suggestions every time.
    If the connection with the server is strong, this tipically takes about 1-2 seconds.
    I am using a VPN that has a low bandwith and i have to wait 30-40 seconds every time i open such a window.
    Since i have the possibility to load the suggestions manually using CTRL + SHIFT + D,
    it would be great to have a setting that will prevent loading suggestion in every situation as described above.
    Just store the suggestions in the cache first…

  19. using LocalDB, the database path names can be rather long, and in the Sql Prompt Invalid objects UI, there isn't a way to expand the database name, no pull handles or widening of the screen doesn't change the comboboxs dimensions which makes it hard to find the one I need without clicking through each one.

  20. Recent queries section has date sections wrong. It is showing queries from last night as today. Maybe a time zone thing? It should use the machine's time zone.
