  1. Add an option to have the DISTINCT keyword appear at the top of the suggestions list when the first few characters (DIS, DIST) are typed, ahead of any column name suggestions. Nearly every time I type DIS or DIST, I want the DISTINCT keyword and not a column name that begins with the same letters.

  2. I would like to request a one-click option (or at least an out-of-the-box Format Style) that would minify either the selected line(s) or entire code in the current session.

    This would be really helpful when writing a non-dynamic TSQL that will need to be turned into dynamic to save on (VAR)CHAR limit (4000/8000).

    Thank you

  3. We have a database that has Foreign keys, but doesn't have them set up as such via it's schema. It's a legacy system and there are technical reasons we aren't going to go back in after the fact and define them. I can't imagine we're the only place to ever run into this, it would be nice to have some sort of config file where you could manually set up things like that.

  4. Switching or connecting to another SQL Server instance requires several steps. It'd be nice if there was a drop down menu or keyboard shortcut to show a list of instances. The list could be frequently used or created manually.

  5. I often need to have Order By added and the following enhancements will help (same as in the grupy by intellisent)

    • order by "Primary Keys" -> Order as in table
    • order by Select-list columns -> order as in the select list
    • order by Select list columns from table x

    All three would help to type less

    Thanks

  6. I use T4 to generate a significant amount of SQL code. It would be useful for purposes of readability especially, to be able to call the formatter from within a T4 build process.

  7. Add option to prevent SQL Prompt from looking across DBs for joins. We have DB Servers with 5000 DBs on them. SQL Prompt struggles to try and evaluate possible cross DB joins. It'd be nice to be able to turn that off so that it only tries to do analysis on the currently selected DB.

  8. Have auto alias base its output on the alias name instead of the name of the table it is pointing to.

    Example: Alias "Transaction" pointing to "TransactionTableWithComplexName" should be "t" and not "ttwcn".

  9. The constraint name is not suggested when using the syntax
    "ALTER TABLE <TableName> WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT <ConstraintName>

    The suggestion feature works great when using NOCHECK CONSTRAINT

  10. Intellisense brings up 'd', CREATE SQL Server login, to top of suggestions when referencing a column beginning with 'cl'.
    Specifically, I see this in the where criteria. Have no clue why it would even bring up a 'CREATE SQL Server login' snippet in the context of a WHERE; especially when the autocomplete is coming from the dot to an alias of the table.

  11. New Parentheses Style - #6 but ends like #1
    Numbering starting at the top left as #1 and continuing to the right one as #5. With the next line starting as #6 and finishing on the right of line 2 as #9.
    In the global parentheses settings, Lets make a #10 option which works like #6 in all ways except the closing parentheses is aligned with the beginning parentheses like it does on #1. Actually looking at the graphic that shows on #1, this looks like what I want, the trailing parentheses is below the first one, but #1 has…

  13. Automate a task after a query execution.
    Like, after execute a long query, send-me a email, or if the query run from a long time do something or start a job, another query, kill the original query.
    Be able to enable this trigger after start a query will be nice too.

  15. Hello,

    So I love the suggestion feature where I'm able to type in an object and the code appears to copy. Home run with this feature I can't thank you enough for it.

    I was wondering if it would be possible to expand on it though.

    Here is a sample. I'm looking to alter an object, let's say a stored proc...
    I usually begin by typing EXEC <name> to trigger the suggestion for stored procs to give me the object.

    Once the suggestion finds the object, the script contents appears in a side window.

    Using the COPY button in the…

  16. I would like the ability to copy a set of items then treat them as separate items for formatting purposes. For example, say I grabbed these values from a results table.

    'A'
    'B'
    'C'

    I would want to be able to paste them with the formatting I'd use for an insert, so they would look like this:

    ('A'),
    ('B'),
    ('C'),

    As it works right now though, copying and using the $PASTE$ placeholder will generate this.

    '($PASTE$)',
    '(A
    B
    C)',

  17. I want to be able to quickly switch between active styles.
    I'm informed that the solution to this was to add the Active Styles section of the context menu, to allow quick access to the active styles.
    That's fine as far as it goes, but that entry is very far down the menu and is only quickly accessible by mouse.

    I would like to suggest having the "Active Styles" entry changed to "&Active Styles" so that the A becomes a shortcut in the context menu; and to have each of the styles listed as &1, &2, &3 etc. in the…

  20. Currently, when hovering over table objects, and clicking on the table name mini popup, you get the object definition box, with a 'Script' and 'Summary' tab.

    The 'Script' tab has the table and index creation scripts, and the 'Summary' tab lists the column definitions.

    For tables with triggers, it would be nice to have a 'Triggers' tab that contains
    any trigger scripts for the table.
