Organize objects in SSMS with a folder stucture
The reason I would like to see the folders is strictly for organizational purposes. I have so many procedures and tables in one database that I have to scroll through them all to find what I’m looking for. If I could organize by schema (or however I choose) and very quickly and jump back and forth between the different folders, that would help me out tremendously. The SQL filter function is so slow when going back and forth.
What if I could organize sql instances that I'm connected to in one SSMS. Production and Development folders?? Just another thought.

SQL history - Reintroduce lost features
SQL history. Recently this has become more indepth with greater search and history detail available. However it has lost some features which I found to be invaluable and which now make SQL history less useful to me.
Find Starred items doesn't work as well now. It uses the advanced search which does not actually show if items are starred. Please correct that.
Also there is now no ability to sort items found (in either normal or search view) by name / date etc.
Can these features be re-implemented please.

Tab history remove duplicates scripts
Have the ability to delete duplicate scripts in the Tab History. Example I may open a stored procedure to look at it or modify then close and then it is stored in the Tab History as Closed. But then in a few days or so I open the same store procedure and do the same thing it is now in the Tab History also. I have made no changes to either day it is open then closed but, it's in the Tab History twice. Now think about this over a few months. That Tab History grows with duplicate scripts.

Automatically alias tables and columns in existing scripts
Please could you add a feature that parses a query that has already been written, adds aliases for tables that don't already have them and update columns to use those aliases.
This is because I often get pieces of code which are partially aliased and I have to go through updating the missing ones. Thanks.

Code Analysis Disable Rule for specific cases
Hi,
it would be extremely useful to allow the user to disable a code analysis rule for specific cases and not just on a global scope.
E.g.
cast(cast(0 as binary) pops up the issue BP008 (CAST/CONVERT to var types without length) which my be correct for certain cases but not always.It would be very hand if I could tell the analyzer to not give any warning for this single line, perhaps by adding a pseudo comment like --##BP008 or similar.
This comment would temporarily disable the warning for this single line/case but not for the rest of a script.

Fix SQL History
User of SQL Prompt for some years now. Tab History was a "killer feature". I often have multiple instances of SSMS open, with a number of ad-hoc queries open not worth saving. When I log back in, for years, WITHOUT FAIL, ALL my queries, from ALL instances would re-open.
Since "upgrading" to SQL; History, I am lucky to get one or two re-open. Complete pot luck. Even searching for known keywords to get them open again is hit and miss.
I am losing a lot of productivity due to this downgrade. I have yet to experience any benefit from the…

Mark same columns in JOIN conditions
It helps avoiding join on the same column (especially at inner join).
Example:
UPDATE A SET Column1 = B.Column2 FROM TableA AS A INNER JOIN Table B ON A.Column3 = A.Column3.
It happens usually by accident. The statement should be:
UPDATE A SET Column1 = B.Column2 FROM TableA AS A INNER JOIN Table B ON A.Column3 = B.Column3.14 votes -

Add the command "USE [DatabaseName]" at the top of the script, when using the 'Script Object as Alter F12' feature.
Hi,
I really love the feature to just press F12 on SP and SQLPrompt opens a new query window with an alter script. It improves the productivity and it's a way easier then scrolling or filtering in the object explorer or using the tool tip by copy & paste the definition.Do you know if there is any possibility to add the command "USE [DatabaseName]" at the top of the script. So, in case I need to switch my connection to a different server I don't need to select my database from the available database list drop down in SSMS.

Choose to have ALTER instead of CREATE scripts
When I hover over an object and get the pop-up script for that object (proc/view/function) I would like the ability to have the script default to ALTER instead of CREATE.
99.9% of the time I manually have to edit the Create to be an Alter, this would save SO MUCH time.

Please include support for Extended Events in SQL Prompt
Extended Events is a great feature in SQL Server. Without support for this in SQL Prompt makes it incomplete.
I know we have a GUI for it in SQL Server 2012. But it will quite sometime before everybody is on the latest version of SQL Server14 votes -
Better memory management
Sql Prompt is a memory hog and causes SSMS to routinely be my biggest consumer of available memory. I just opened SSMS and refreshed the objects in a rather large database and SSMS is consuming 572 MB of memory. When you compare this to the 92 MB that SSMS uses on a fresh start up the difference is quite shocking.

Make SQL Prompt & SCG Command line ignore code where scgignore is set
We have adopted SCG and have commented out areas of code we do not want checking with scgignore. The new version of SCG command prompt and SQL Prompt do not recognise these comments, and report the area of code with warnings.
Please amend so they are not reported, or at least reported differently so we can ignore.13 votes -

Format CTE closing parenthesis
It would be nice to have an option under Formatting Style -> CTE to allow closing parenthesis behavior, just like the opening parenthesis one:
- Place closing parenthesis on new line

export to excel options
Hi - export to excel is a great feature. if it could be extended in 2 ways it would be even better.
copy the sql used to produce the results (and date, server info) into a separate tab called 'sql' or something. this way data extracts will be 'auditable' and re-runnable.
have some export options (top row = bold, highlighted, freeze top row). column autowidths applied.
the second one can be done with a macro in the excel template but would be a nice to have.

when aggregating add alias
when doing simple aggregation such as sum(column), it would be nice if the column name would be aliased after the agg automatically. if this is a single column in the function then make the alias the column name. when multiple then create square brackets and move cursor into bracket after closing agg with a ")"

Include MERGE statement in smart rename
When one would like to smart rename a column, the smart rename function does not update a MERGE statement. Could this be added to the smart rename feature?
