compare datatypes in stored procedure calls with defined variables
When I call a stored procedure, I want SQL Prompt's code analysis rules to be able to tell me if the variables I am passing to the stored procedure are OK.
For example, if I pass a bigint variable to a SP that has a tinyint input parameter, I want SQL prompt to flag that as a potential issue.
Similarly, if I am passing a string variable defined locally as nvarchar(150) to a SP that takes only nvarchar(100), it should be flagged as an issue (because I am passing a string that may not "fit" into the input parameter).

Is there a way to run your code analysis rules against an existing database?
To help our developers we - as dba's - perform validation against their procedures and database code. The library of rules that is incorporated in SQLPrompt could be a good rule of thumb for the basic stuff of reviewing, so that we can focus on other stuff when validating.
Is it possible to run the rules "engine" of SQLPrompt against an existing database without having to open the code manually?3 votes -
Implement all of the Find Unused Variables and Parameters functionality in Code Analysis
Currently Code Analysis does not implement all of the items that Find Unused Variables and Parameters does.
Specifically I know it's missing:
- Declared variables that are used before a value is assigned
- Assigned values that are never usedEx.
With this code:DECLARE @Test NVARCHAR(1)
DECLARE @Test2 INT
DECLARE @Test3 DATESET @Test = 1
SET @Test = N'Test' + @Test2
Code Analysis will flag the DECLARE for @Test for having a NVARCHAR of size 1 and @Test3 for not being used, but it will not flag @Test2 for being used before a value is assigned to it…

Menu option: 'Normalize Line Endings'
Sometimes line-endings get messed up by source-control (looking at you Git) and "intellisense" will give you lots of green squigglies that you'd rather not commit to the branch.
A good menu option for SQL Prompt would be 'Normalize Line Endings' with a sub-menu selection of 'Windows' or 'Unix'. Then fire off a regex expression powered search and replace on the file. It's fairly easy to do manually with a Ctrl+Shift+F in Visual Studio, but in SSMS, it's more complicated to do so manually, I think.
Git does this to me once in a while, and I have to open the…

"drop user"
Highlight of today was when I ran
DROP USER MyUserIn the wrong (production) database.
Please add a warning to SQL Prompt, like your
"You're about to execute a DELETE statement without a WHERE clause"When you run a DROP USER or a DROP LOGIN statement on a production server. Not only does the user or login disappear, but also all rights granted to the user.
Maybe add the question “are you in the correct database?”

Autofix for existing functionality
There are cases where the code analysis detects errors and where the tool already have functionality to correct the issue. For instance with unqualified column names

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 -

Implement all SQL Code Guard Rules in SQL Prompt Code Analysis
There are several rules that are only available in SQL Code Guard. And with SQL Code Guard no longer being maintained they should be implemented in SQL Prompt Code Analysis so that we can avoid having to use two products.
By our count here are the rules currently not implemented in Code Analysis:
DEP004 COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses are deprecated
DEP005 FASTFIRSTROW table hint is deprecated
DEP008 PASSWORD/MEDIAPASSWORD options in BACKUP/RESTORE statement are deprecated
DEP010 DBCC CONCURRENCYVIOLATION is deprecated
DEP017 NON-ANSI join (= or =) is used
EI001 Incompatible variable type for procedure call
EI002 Incompatible literal…4 votes -
Ability to run Code Analysis against whole DB
With the deprecation of SQL Code Guard and it's replacement by Code Analysis there is one feature that we heavily used that is now no longer there, and that is the ability to run SQL Code Guard against the whole DB not just the query on the screen.
This allowed us to investigate new DBs that we'd inherited to see what sort of cleanup we might be looking at as well as giving us the ability to see if anything had snuck in to our existing DBs without going file by file.
I know there are other tools (like SQL…

PE019
I'd like to vote for adding PE019 (Consider using EXISTS instead of IN) to the issues which can be auto-fixed.
It feels like the kind of re-write that would probably be simpler for a computer to do than a person.

SQL Prompt Code Visualization (Like Flow Chart)
SQL Prompt should be able to Visualize the Code and represent the code like Flow Chart.
This Feature will be very useful while working with heavy Stored Procedures.The Sample Code Visualization image is shared below:

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 -

Allow custom rules for code analysis
SQL Prompt has the ability to catch and warn about Update statements without Where clauses.
How about something similar that catches and warns about security commands like Grant or Deny.

DECIMAL default scale warning in Code Analysis
Would be great if SQL Prompt Code Analysis would give a warning on SQL Below:
SELECT CAST( 1.453 AS DECIMAL)
SELECT CONVERT(DECIMAL, 1.453 )3 votes -
EXEC sp without return (EXEC @Results = sp)
EXEC spwho2 without return (EXEC @Results = spwho2)
Give a warning when tsql or stored procedure has execute a stored procedure without a variable for an error to bubble up to.This is the proper way because ieven in a try catch the Exec sp_who2 won't give and error to stop the tsql from going on
