  1. Request title:
    SSMS add a pane with a vertical list of open queries
    Description:
    In SSMS add a pane with a vertical list of open queries similar to the Object Explorer pane that can be docked/undocked that you can see the entire file name and quickly navigate or choose from the entire list of tabs of open query files to choose from.
    So, instead of horizontal tabs where the file name and other details that are partially hidden or don’t appear if many files are open, have an option to show a vertical list of open files.

  2. Selecting code then pressing CTRL brings up the action list, but only 6 items are shown in this list, meaning that for many uses, scrolling or searching (moving is required. A longer list (ideally user-settable) would mean moving mouse directly to most items and selecting is possible.

    2. click right button, in context menu, exists a "Copy as json" item.
    3. click "Copy as json", in other place paste, get json texts.

  6. In SQL Prompt, Formatting Styles, I would like to differentiate the “Short parentheses contents” behavior, so it didn’t impact the primary key when I add a Constraint Primary Key Clustered at Create Table time.
    I like my PK fields to stand out, not hide in a block of text.
    But I also like any other listing of a few fields to be kept on a single line, and not bloating the screen for no reason at all.
    Currently, I can’t have both.

    In short, I want

    CREATE TABLE dbo.Orders
    (
    OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL,
    OrderID INT NOT NULL,
    CustomerID INT…

  7. Similar to the query shortcuts built into SSMS with the number row...except you can set it on-the-fly, quickly and easily.

    I'll let you guys figure out the details if you think it's a good idea. Basically I want the ability to give SQL prompt a query, and say, "please run this every time before running the highlighted query". But the configuration process needs to be FAST and EASY to help with rapid troubleshooting.

    This is useful for variable declarations that are at the top of a script, but you need to run another part of a script separately.

  8. When setting a line wrap at a number of cheracters, I would like to get the line at that long, and then wrapped. Not at the first comma. For example currently I get:

    select firstname
    , last
    name
    , email
    , phonenumber
    , country
    , country
    alias
    , region
    , gender

    ... but I want to get:

    select firstname, lastname, email, phonenumber, country
    , country
    alias, region, gender

  9. This idea is kind of between snippets and tab history.

    USE CASE
    I frequently need to diagnose issues with our data. This typically involves using on of a few dozen queries. Currently each time I need one of these I have to 1) check to see if I have a recent version in tab history; 2) load it from some .sql file I happened to have saved it; or 3) rewrite it from scratch. For 1 and 2 I then have to search for all of the places where I need to replace WHERE expression values with data specific to…

  10. When hovering over an object name to view its contents...the tab size used in the code is much larger than what is being used in SSMS. So the formatting of the preview is completely messed up.

    Maybe a setting to configure the tab size? Or maybe it can look up what SSMS is using?

  11. I often need to work with data sets from Excel. Instead of doing a whole "Import Data" process I would like to copy from Excel & paste into SQL Management as a temp or persisted table.

  12. The only edge Apex has over SQL Prompt formatting, at least for my use, is being able to organize long equations. If I am using a large number of columns for an equation, I'd like to place each new column on a new line.

  13. When hovering over an object like a Proc or a View, and you click the link in the pop-up to view the contents of that object. It would be nice if there was a simple search function. Many times when I'm viewing the contents of an object, it's just because I want to see where it's making a particular reference, so I have to copy, open a new tab and then search.

  14. As we are using a dedicated group of virtual machines for using our high privilege accounts, we don't know at login time on which machine we will have a session. Currently the settings of SQL Prompt are stored under “…\AppData\Local...”. After each logoff we loose these settings. According to the Microsoft standards, the settings should be stored under “…\Appdata\Roaming...”. Could this be changed in a future version?

  15. When auto-completing an "EXEC storedProc" statement, SQL Prompt will generate the input arguments (and outputs) and generate sample values for the input arguments. If an input argument is of type datetime, SQL Prompt generates a string literal that is equivalent to current date and time in UTC. Please provide an option to either generate a string literal that is the current date and time in the local time zone.

  17. It would be incredibly useful to have Smart Rename have the option to generate a synonym that points the old name to the new one, in order to maintain functionality for any legacy applications accessing the database via those old object names.

  18. Please add option to specify regular expressions to ignore prefixes.
    So if I have a pattern for table/view/SP prefix I would not need to specify all the options/combinations.

  19. I would like the ability to control how SQL Prompt completes my statements for me, this mostly becomes an issue with procedures with multiple optional parameters.

    If I used sp_whoisactive as an example, there are multiple optional parameters but it is capable of running with no parameters at all, so I find myself having to spend longer than I want to either highlighting the bit I want execute or deleting all the parameters that just got written for me.

    So a setting where I can assign keys to complete full statement and keys to simply complete object name would be…

  20. Some programming languages (we use FireDac in Delphi) use colon notation to declare variables. Eg

    select * from table where id = :id;

    Testing such queries in SQL Prompt forces you to change the query before and after testing and that is error prone.
    It would be nice if SQL Prompt could handle this type of parameters by instead of raising an error show a "Enter parameter value" input box.
