  1. Add $query$ to SQL prompt that allows you to define a query which get executed and the results pasted in place, optionally formatted as VALUES statement

    I currently have a snippet that runs
    SELECT '(' + CAST(r.RegionId AS VARCHAR(50)) + ',''' + r.RegionDescription + ''',0),'
    FROM retail.Regions r
    WHERE r.ActiveTo > GETDATE()
    ORDER BY r.RegionDescription

    I then copy the output and use the $paste$ place holder in another snippet to paste in

    DECLARE @regions TABLE (RegionId INT, RegionDescription VARCHAR(50), Active bit)
    INSERT @regions (RegionId, RegionDescription, Active)
    VALUES
    --$PASTE$ goes here
    (117,'Anglia',0),
    (119,'Greater Manchester',0),
    (145,'Hampshire',0),

    An improvement would be remove the…

  2. It would be good to have an option to not offer suggestions after typing a number. If i'm about to enter a constant such as set @var = 1 I usually don't want to see suggestions containing 1. Often I have to turn suggestions off to type a number.

  3. It would be good to have an option to not offer suggestions after typing a single quote. If i'm about to enter a text string I usually don't want to see suggestions. Often I have to turn suggestions off to type a quoted string.

  4. In the right-click menu of the "Tables" branch in SSMS, create an extra item that would retrieve string from system clipboard and apply it as an object name filter (using the SSMS built-in [Filter] => [Filter settings] => [Name] => [Contains] feature).

    This would allow for instant filtering, saving lot of time.

  5. I use actions (from the ctrl menu) a lot. It would be extremely handy if I could re-do last action on the currently selected text by simply hitting Ctrl-Y (rather than hitting Ctrl and selecting it from the list of actions again and again).

  6. If I have a very large script with the majority of it with formatting disabled, or even with just a highlighted small area... the ctrl-K,ctrl-Y formatting seems to consider the parts it will not be formatting. Example: code in a separate window will format instantly while in a window with 100k lines with same code highlighted it will take a long while. This seems to indicate that it is considering all of the code even though it is only formatting a small piece.

  7. It would be neat if WHERE clauses could get autocomplete suggestions with declared variables (or variables that are procedure parameters). Example:

    Assume Table1 with one column Column1.

    DECLARE @Column1
    SELECT *
    FROM Table1 T
    WHERE T.Column1 = (suggest @Column1, any variable that exactly matches column by name, except @)

  8. In version 7 the Style option FormatActionRemoveSquareBrackets was removed from the .sqlpromptstyle Style file into the .settings Settings file. I would like it moved back into the Style file, along with all other Style options settable under "SSMS > SQL Prompt > Options > Format > Style". See https://productsupport.red-gate.com/hc/en-us/requests/122489 for additional details.

  9. I have text within a snippet which includes the string "$2a$". The snippet manager replaces this which is not what I want. I need the snippet to remain unchanged.

  10. when you insert a ssf (Select * from) you select the table and correct automatically errors like WEHRE, WERE, WEHER where the user wants to say a WHERE a logical word dictionary in which, it could be done by matching characters if all the characters written are 100% or 90% matches with word WHERE whenever is the order of the characters then autochange the text for where, This also can be matched with other KEYWORDS of SQL

  11. It would be nice if the IN clause were formatted like a logical function that returns a value so that it followed the options and rules for parentheses and were indented according to its place in the logical expression. (paying attention to the ANDs and ORs if present)

  12. My Name is Waleed Abrar and my license number is. I am actively looking of Static TSQL Analysis and I was really happy with the SQL Prompt. I have done some analysis and implemented some test cases. It works really good working live and parallel to development . I want to ask if it’s possible to do an offline analysis and get a HTML or Excel report for a particular database about the TSQL code Quality inside the DB. For Example I can select the Database ‘XYZ’ and then click Analyze static code. It will give me a report back…

  13. Stop raising EI028 when adding columns using style:

    ALTER TABLE dbo.MyTable
    ADD TestColumnB CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT DFMyTableTestColumnB DEFAULT ('B')
    FOR TestColumnB;

  14. At the moment a warning is given "Non-scalar subquery in place of a scalar" when trying to assign a variable to the result of a MIN or MAX query which would only result in a single value. Also get the warning when i create a Scalar valued function and assign variable to result of a call to that. In each of these case only one result can be returned so the warning appears inaccurate and wrapping the result in a TOP 1 { } ORDER BY statement seems an overkill just to remove the warning

  15. I am in the process of converting many Stored Procedures to UDFs (for various reasons).

    One thing that is irritating is that these SPs often use the SELECT x, y, z INTO #tempTable pattern.

    Would that be possible for you to generate the equivalent DECLARE @tempTable TABLE ( x TYPE,y TYPE,z TYPE) statement?

    That would have proven to be very helpful!

  16. I have been using SQL Prompt for awhile and one of the best feature I like about it is the fact that Intellisense works even on Linked Server to other MSSQL databases.

    Recently however, I have set up Linked server to MySQL ODBC connections and I noticed that Intellisense is no longer returning the table names and column names in the predictive boxes.

    I then tested this to other ODBC connection. I set up Firebird (DB2) and Oracle and Intellisense seems to be working for these (only for table names, not columns but that's better than nothing).

    Is there a…

  19. Quite often when troubleshooting a stored procedure, it is helpful to step through it and run each statement individually. In stored procedures that take parameters, though, you need to manually swap out the variable name for a test value in each statement, or put variable declarations and sets in front of each statement.

    It would be convenient if SQL Prompt could automate this process. It could check for parameters, prompt the user to provide values for them, then do the variable-to-literal substitution throughout the code. It could then provide an easy way to reverse the change to support committing the…

  20. SQL Prompt includes a feature to exclude specific databases – in this case, the master database – we would expect this functionality to reliably prevent any interaction with the excluded databases during code suggestions or IntelliSense operations. The current behavior suggests that the exclusion option may not be functioning as intended.

    We expect that when an exclusion is defined, no connection attempt should be made to the excluded database. This would allow all other user databases to be loaded, even if with limited functionality.
