  1. 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…

  2. format grouping sets in the same way as other lists.
    currently they are made into one long line regardless of the wrapping setting.

  3. I would love a warning to prevent the classical mistake of comparing a column with itself instead of with another column in a WHERE clause.

    An example is the following, where I would like a warning where one has "qlpd.interimdisbursementid = qlpd.interimdisbursementid" as it should be qlpd.interimdisbursementid = di.interimdisbursementid instead:
    SELECT *
    FROM dbo.datinterimdisbursement AS di
    INNER JOIN dbo.qliro
    logPayoutServicedata qlpd
    ON qlpd.interimdisbursementid = qlpd.interimdisbursementid;

  4. I would like the ability to select 1 or more values in a result and have the (right-click?) option to select header(s). I then have the header, or headers separated with commas in my clipboard.

  5. I would LOVE! the ability to have a search window with my results from a query, where I type in any part of a column name and it lists all columns containing value I typed in.
    By default one is positioned on the applicable column in the result (scrolling if necessary in wider result set), but if one clicks on any column matching value then it positions one on that column in the result.

  6. The error popup comes out of nowhere when navigating SSMS tree nodes, notably when selecting a specific database name. I expected it came from SQL Prompt, but there was nothing being logged even when verbose option has been enabled.

    The support helped clarify it "probably" came from SQL Source Control installed recently.

    Also, the "Send Error Report" never worked.

    The error completely freezes SSMS as it is a modal.

    It has to be dismissed multiple times and then navigated away from the selected database back to a server's name - quickly using a keyboard.

  7. Working with a query that contains the same expression multiple times, I often want to extract all instances of that expression into a CROSS APPLY for readability and ease of modification, e.g. converting something like this horribleness:

    select foo = case when bar < 100 then 'a' when bar > 200 then 'b' else 'c' end, count(*)
    from baz
    where case when bar < 100 then 'a' when bar > 200 then 'b' else 'c' end in ('a','b')
    group by case when bar < 100 then 'a' when bar > 200 then 'b' else 'c' end

    into something more manageable…

  8. I like to use the Windows zoom feature to make text bigger. (Not the dpi size feature, but rather the text size feature listed above the dpi setting.)

    With this increased, I cannot see the links in Red Gate update notification windows. I'll open SSMS and get a notification for prompt that I am running 1.0.7 and the latest version is 1.0.8. There is a details link that allows me to upgrade. I can also upgrade by downloading the latest version of the tools from the Red Gate web site.

    However, for minor upgrades, I often skip the upgrade process…

  9. When I scroll over an object *table, view, function, stored procedure), SQL Prompt typically displays a tooltip that describes what the object is (e.g. Table). I can click on the tooltip and see a script of the object.

    However, if I have not included the schema, then I do not get the tooltip, but rather a warning that "Schema name for table or view is not specified" and I am not able to view the object code without either disabling that alert or adding the schema name.

    While it may be advantageous to have this rule enabled, it would also…

  10. Using SSMS 21.4.8 and SQL Prompt 11.0.6.17341.

    Using a derived select to retrieve data then derive select that to change the data types then a third derived select to present the data.

    In the inner most SELECT, the fields OrderID and OrderItemID are Integer in both the the Microsoft and SQL Prompt HoverOver popups.

    In the outer most SELECT, the OrderID and OrderItemID are Varchar in the Microsoft HoverOver popup but Integer in the SQL Prompt HoverOver popups.

    Also in the outer most SELECT, down in the ORDER BY, they show differently hovering over between the Microsoft and SQL prompt…

  12. Add support for the KEEP_CDC keyword. Example:

    RESTORE DATABASE MyDB
    FROM  DISK = N'\\SOMEWHERE\MyDB_FULLBACKUP1.BAK'
    WITH FILE = 1,
    MOVE N'MyDB_DATA' TO N'M:\SQLData1\SQL_DATABASE\MyDB.MDF',
    MOVE N'MyDB_LOG' TO N'M:\SQLLogs1\SQL_DATABASE\MyDB_LOG.LDF',
    RECOVERY, REPLACE, STATS = 1, KEEP_CDC, NEW_BROKER, RESTRICTED_USER
    

    Currently the formatting process errors out.

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. New queries, as users know, have an automatic naming and numbering system:
    SQLQuery1.sql, SQLQuery2.sql, SQLQuery3.sql, etc.

    It would be helpful sometimes if the queries could have leading zeros or maybe even a different lead-in like the name of the solution. For example, SQLSolutionABC might have the default tab names:

    SQLSolutionABC001.sql, SQLSolutionABC002.sql, SQLSolutionABC003.sql, etc.

  19. Allow typing from table then tab to convert it to Select | from dbo.table and end up with the cursor after the from, to start typing. Now we have to write select * from table, then go back to the columns. A simple improvement.
