  1. The intellisense will suggest the object as I am typing the linkedserver.db.schema.table in a statement. However, once the statement has been created, the object/columns etc. are underlined in red and hovering over displays the "Invalid object" warning

    Hi Eric,

    We haven’t received a response and are unable to recreate this bug here so we’re going to close down this feature request. If you’re still experiencing this please send us some more details.

  3. I'd like the ability to align my parenthesis with the start of the line above it like so:

    SELECT
    column1
    ,column2
    ,column3
    FROM
    table1
    WHERE

    tableID IN
    (
    1
    ,2
    ,3
    )

    I would also like the option to never insert more than 1 space between words in a line.
    I don't like that there is a full tab between WITH and TARGET below. TAB the whole line or nothing. I can't find a way to get rid of this.
    ;
    WITH TARGET
    AS (
    SELECT
    Column1
    ,Column2
    ,Column3
    FROM
    table1
    )

    Stephen,

    I’m so sorry about the UserVoice formatting issues. I’m going to contact their support to see if this can be fixed. For now, can you please post this in our support forum at http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/viewforum.php?f=137.

    Davin,

    I’ve declined this suggestion because it contains too many suggestions. Please post each suggestion separately so other users can vote on individual suggestions, which will help us prioritize work. There are some really good ideas here and we appreciate the feedback.

  4. It would be really great if you were able to export the data to file, or document, spreadsheet. Almost a way to obtain sample data

    Thank you for your suggestion.

    Ideally, we’d love to respond individually to every request, but currently we can’t due to the volume of unanswered tickets. We’re clearing up our UserVoice backlog to make it easier for us as a small team to prioritize the most valuable features moving forward. Therefore, due to a lack of recent interest in this ticket, we have decided to close it.

    If you feel strongly about it, we encourage you to create a new request.

  6. Track how often columns are joined by the user, and suggest based on common joins (for that user), not just foreign key/name/datatypes.

  7. In Object Explorer you can filter tables. It would be nice if these filters could be persistent. That is that they would remain when you restart SSMS (Actually MS should fix this)

  11. I would like an option to format select to one line. And make it so that you can save multiple option sets for formatting preferences.

    For example ordinarily a mult line select is good. However in some situations such as copying select statements into a text box it needs to be formatted to be on one line.

    Being able to define mulitple option sets and creating an option to keep select on one line would resolve the issue.

  13. I like to indent SET so my variable names line up with DECLARE. For instance:

    DECLARE @Variable int;
    ------- SET @Variable = 0;

    (the hyphens are my HTML workaround would actually be spaces)

  18. As a developer I want to turn a select query into an editable table view so that I can tweak some column values without having to write an update statement.

    Currently I have to write the select query, browse for the table in object explorer and select edit top x rows, open sql pane, paste the query there, press Ctrl+R to update the view, then make the manual edits. Would be great to be able to do that with some kind of macro action from a select query.

    The team have reviewed this suggestion and unfortunately it’s a combination of being something of an edge case for our user base and very difficult to implement.

    So, for now we’ll be declining the request. We’ll review again if we see more demand from our customers.

    Thank you for the suggestion though – we’re always keen to hear from customers. Do reach out if I can do anything else to help.

  19. Add some metadata as comment on when the code was formatted and which style was used, the user etc. This would make it possible to find unformated code with simple text searches
