text compare
I would like to be able to compare two text blocks to see the differences, probably in two different windows. Its easy in most text editors. Wish I could do it right inside SSMS.
1 voteHi Courtney,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, the team have reviewed it and we don’t currently feel like it is a good fit for something we would want to prioritise in Prompt.
Please don’t let that put you off suggesting other ideas – all feedback is great even if we don’t action all of it!

SQL Prompt code completion completely broken for any query after an UPDATE query with USE HINT syntax
SQL Prompt code completion is broken if you use the OPTION ( USE HINT ( ) ) syntax with an update query. To make matters worse, if you are writing a stored procedure, the code completion tools remain broken for every query following the UPDATE statement as well.
This is on SQL Prompt v9.4.15.8960 with SQL Server Management Studio v17.9.1.
Here is a repro:
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.TestThis
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;DECLARE @var int;
-- try to do any code completion after this statement
-- only snippets will work
UPDATE TestTable
SET WatchThisBreak = 1

Comments are formatted wrong
SQL Prompt 7.3.0.437 will format the following

/*
query_hash Binary hash value calculated on the query and used to identify queries with similar logic. You can use the query hash to determine the aggregate resource usage for queries that differ only by literal values.*/
like this: (too many empty lines added with Whitespace / Preserve existing new lines between statements)

Unfortunately it looks like UserVoice has stripped out all of the formatting from your request. Would you be able to post it again on our support forum https://forums.red-gate.com/viewforum.php?f=169

Smart rename does not respect scopes
Smart rename does not work properly in queries where there are common table expressions and, for instance, two of them use the same alias for the same (or even different) table. When I want to change the name of an alias, then the rename should not pick up the same alias from other scopes. The current rename is potentially dangerous because there could be a clash when, for instance, one piece of a query is dependent on another (think: cross apply or correlated query). I would classify the current behaviour as a bug but I can imagine that one could…
1 voteHi Darek,
It sounds like you might have hit a bug as the rename in SQL Prompt should be respecting the scope of the alias. I’m going to close this UserVoice idea since it sounds more like a bug than a feature. I see you already have a ticket logged with our support team – if you forward them recreation steps/scripts we can investigate this further.

keep getting Sql server management studio IsBusy, because of sql prompt
sometimes its counter productive, messing up in the way of regular intellisense
1 voteHi Anvoy,
Sorry to hear you’re having issues with SQL Prompt! This sounds more like a bug than a feature request so I’m going to close this idea – our support site would be a better place to log it: https://redgatesupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
please include the version of SQL Prompt that you’re using and detailed recreation steps.Thanks,

SQL Refactoring similar to what JetBrains do for C#
Would it be possible to peek at what JetBrains do for C# and implement similar functionality in T-SQL? It doesn't have to be as sophisticated as JetBrain's... Just a suggestion of mine. I bet you could certainly find good cases where refactorings like JB's would come in useful. Very, very useful. Thanks!
1 voteHi Darek,
I’m going to decline this idea as it’s unclear what the actual feature is. You should have your UserVoice votes returned to you so if you have a specific refactoring feature that you’d like to see in SQL Prompt please do post it as a new idea.

Fix high resolution display support !!
When SQL Prompt loads the database objects, the resolution on my Dell M3800 gets screwed up. I can restore it by checking for updates.

Unfortunately the script syntax highlighting is not handled by SQL Prompt. It’s something that’s built into SSMS and so we don’t have control over which keywords get marked as pink.

I’m going to close this idea as its really 4 ideas which means it’s difficult for us to know which one to work on if other users start voting on it. We also already have individual ideas for each of these so closing this one will give you the points back and allow you to add them to those.

Working with multiple servers.
Executing code on multiple servers and with check boxes choosing on which to execute for fast on/off.
Also procedure comparison and altering on multiple servers.
So all in all enabling easy management for multiple servers and instances of SQL Server. Registered Servers feature in SSMS i just too blunt.1 voteHi Hrvoje,
I’m going to decline this suggestion as I don’t think it fits in with Prompt at the moment. We have another product called SQL Multi Script that has some of the functionality you’re requesting for multiple servers.

Bugs
SSMS shuts down when I bring my computer back from sleep mode. I think it's due to SQL Prompt. Also, SQL Prompt could do a better job recognizing CTE's. Furthermore, when referencing a table function in a query the formatting is very clean. It often times puts each string input on a new line. Formatting should be improved around strings / inputs separated by commas.
1 voteHi Devin, I’ve sent you an email asking for more details on the bugs you mentioned but I’m going to close this idea as it’s 3 in 1 which makes it awkward to complete or vote on.

Can "Swap order of columns in join clauses" be enabled automatically if upgrading from an earlier version e.g. 5
WIth the change in v6 to default to
SELECT * FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table2.id = table1.idwhereas previous versions used this format.
SELECT * FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.id = table2.idIf upgrading from an earlier version, can either the swap order option be enabled or at least the user warned during installation that the intellisense options have changed and that queries will be formatted differently.
1 voteThanks for your suggestion Kieron.
In adding this new option, we set the default column order to what we think will be the most useful. If you prefer the old behaviour, select the new option – your option preferences will be persisted when you install new versions of SQL Prompt.

Suggestions box / Object Definitions window positioning
Add a fixed place in the query window, e.g. at the right or bottom of it, where to show the suggestion box and/or object defintions window. Thus that the SSMS intellisense tool window is not overlayed by it.

Encapsulate SQL to View + Suggested index for the resulting view

Select DISTINCT Values on column right-cli
So many times during the day, I find myself in executing SELECT DISTINCT on a column, just to find all the unique values in the database. It would be a great shortcut if I could just right click on a column and the SQL statement would be automatically generated.

customizable highlight of query text
The first use case that comes to mind would be to highlight all unindexed fields. This would make optimization an easier task. The type of highlight could be customizable such as a colored squiggle line underneath (like ms word) or an earmark tag. A quick toggle of all highlights on/off would be nice.
To reduce clutter, a simpler option would be to show indexes on hover of the field.
