  2. Even if you don't add support for Fabric warehouses and lake houses soon, please detect that the current connection is to a Fabric object and quietly disable SQL Prompt's IntelliSense so it stops crashing when I connect to a Fabric lake house or warehouse.

    Keeping the formatting working would still be nice though.

  3. When hovering over a Table Type the pop-up window only shows tabs for Summary and Dependencies. Add a Script tab for consistent functionality when compared to other types of object such as Stored Procedures, Tables, Views, Functions etc.

  4. Another white space removal feature to suggest.

    The ability to format all IN statements as:
    empType IN ('a','b','c','d')

    Rather than the default:
    empType IN ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')

    I have done some exploring in the formatting styles and scouring the forums here and this feature doesn't seem to be available.

  5. One feature idea that I think would be great for many customers. Often I have a pasted column of data from Excel that i need to run a macro on in Notepad++ to add single quotes and commas. So that I can paste the string into a SQL “in ( ) " clause.

    It would be amazing if SQL Prompt had an option to convert that clipboard text right in SSMS. I think lots of people would find that a timesaver.

  6. While editing code in SSMS, i often find I want to use control key navigation (ctrl - left arrow for example) to navigate to a different part of the text i'm editing, but a pop-up intellisense window has arrived and instead of moving to the start of the word i'm editing, its trying to make me choose things from its pop up. It would be nice if ctrl key navigation would auto close the intellisense window so I could continue moving around the text of my query instead of having to hit escape all the time to close the pop…

  7. SQL Prompt - More Granular Suggestion. WHERE AND / CASE AND

    Would you add a couple of settings that give users more granular control in formatting SQL Prompt, please?

    In the CASE section, please add a section on how to handle Case AND statements, if we want the AND on a new line or the same line, and where to Align the AND.

    Also, please add a checkbox to align any '=' signs, like CASE WHEN colA = 1 then 1 else. I'd like all = signs to line up when there are multiple WHEN statements.

    Also, Please add a…

  8. Although used quite often, != is not ANSI compliant for NOT EQUAL. Have an option in SQL PROMPT Code Formatting to automatically replace != with the ANSI compliant <>.

  9. When using a synonym, the alias name generated is based on the synonym orginal table, not in the synonym name.

    So, if I have a synonym named sch1.ShortTableName that maps on AnotherDatabase.sch2.TableWithLongAndComplexName

    If I write

    SELECT * FROM sch1.ShortTableName

    It ends being

    SELECT * FROM sch1.ShortTableName AS twlacn

    It would be good that in case of synonyms, the alias name was based on the synonym name, not on the source object name.

    Or to keep backwards compatibilty, to have a setting that lets us choos either to follow the synonym name or the source object name.

  11. Please can there be an option to turn off SQL Prompt+ AI. It is a pointless feature that I have found no benefit from. It locks up and crashes SSMS. It also it an extremely intrusive feature constantly displaying the icon next to the cursor

  12. Like SQL Search, but SQL Error/Issue/Rule violation.
    This would list all issues that exist in a database.
    Example: "Non-scalar subquery in place of a scalar value"

    Because these issues can cause major slowdown in queries, and it would be great to have a way to search a whole database to find these rather than having to open all the views, procedures, and functions to find all these things.

  13. In the SQL History tab, under Advanced Search, allow us to set a default server and database or remember the last one that was chosen. I have about 30 servers in my list and most of them no longer exist. I would never want to search all servers. I would also rarely want to search another database besides the one I usually search.

  14. When you use the interactive sign in with AD option with a SQL database, it's not very stable in it's connection. I suspect it's either not supporting the refresh tokens (if it has them) or hasn't got the right detection for an expired token.

    When authentication fails in this mode, it gives up silently and functionality starts to turn off as it can't connect to the database - see attached log.

    I have to close SSMS every 3 hours or so, which forces SQL prompt to re-authenticate and get a new token. Turning on/off suggestions does not trigger a reauthentication.

  15. 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!

  16. 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,
