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 additional features of SQL History (although I am sure that might happen).

Today is July 17, 2026, three years later, and RG still did not restore that very useful Tab History functionality. Not all tabs are getting reopened, and no memory and restore of connection to a particular server and DB at all, even when I try to use SQL project solution.

I'd happily accept an option to revert to SQL Tab History rather than SQL History. The "upgrade" is infuriating, search is very poor (it finds part of a word, but not the whole word - or vice versa, seemingly at random), and the UI is very poor by comparison.
