  1. I have a handful of tables/views I use the same aliases for. I want to have SQL Prompt add those aliases when it completes the table/view name, but not automatically create new aliases for all of the other tables/views

  3. The new option would allow intending from alias (in alias = expression notation)

  4. Our dev group versions our styles. A small change between style versions can cause numerous changes in a single file making peer reviews more difficult than they need to be.

    My suggestion is to add an Format > Styles > Actions option to add style stamp. Implementation would be adding a comment with a style/version stamp at the top of the file when a format is applied. If the comment exists prior to formatting, that style will be used by SQL Prompt regardless of selected style. If the style/version is not found, the selected style is used. To change which…

  5. AI suggestions.

    I'm not part of your AI program waiting list. However here what I suggest.

    Do not make the AI part of your program an only cloud-based solution. There are plenty of opensource code models free for commercial use that can be ran locally on a PC. These models can also run under CPU but will up the memory to enable this feature requirements for AI on client side only. It's too dangerous for Redgate to store this information on the cloud even with a solid EULA, and laws are subject to change. Please offload this burden back to…

  6. It would be great if you would introduce a new setting where we can turn of update- and other notifications (like "SQL 2008R2 not supported") warnings.

  7. I prefer opening SSMS with no tabs and use SQL History to navigate tab history. It would be great to have an option to open SQL History on startup and/or if SQL History is docked then redock SQL History on startup

  8. I would love an option where, after adding an alias to a table, you can add it as a prefix to all columns coming from that particular table at once.

    Some keystroke like Ctrl + F2 would be nice.

  9. Currently, SQL prompt doesn't support the windows certificate store like most applications do. The only way to work around that currently is to simply trust all certificates which is inconvenient (having to set this across potentially hundreds of server connections) and a security gap.

    SQL prompt should either provide an option to leverage the certificates. Currently, if a blanket trust is not provided, SSMS and SQL in general will work fine, but SQL prompt will cease to function, since the application (visual studio, SSMS) will connect correctly, but SQL prompt will not.

  10. Currently users have to install SQL Prompt updates manually and this requires administrator privileges which is not ideal in a workplace setting. I was wondering if this could be changed so that SQL Prompt updates itself without the need for manual install and administrator privileges.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

  11. With SQL Prompt, and selecting "Copy as IN clause" on a resultset, is it possible to format the result as all one line, like:

    IN (1,2,3,4,5,6)

    instead of what it does currently:

    IN (

    1,

    2,

    3,

    4,

    5,

    6) ?

    Having it all on one line makes a statement easier to read, when there are a lot of items in the list.

  12. I had a query which was using ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ColumnA ORDER BY ColumnB, ColumnC) and FORMAT SQL command put the ORDER BY clause as the first thing on the line (no indentation). It would be better if, when it needs to be wrapped, the ORDER BY inside an OVER was indented to line up with PARTITION BY).

  13. I really love the add (quotes and) commas feature in SQL Prompt. Unfortunately we cannot produce a snippet similar to those.

    If you select some text it would be nice to format each line to a certain format.
    Like for example

    E46337E5-ECBC-41D4-A63E-A994E16BD8F7
    669F0B8E-5E1C-47CE-A799-81B47C9BC045

    425BAAC6-6A0B-419C-B393-79B21A628538

    turn into

    ('E46337E5-ECBC-41D4-A63E-A994E16BD8F7'),
    ('669F0B8E-5E1C-47CE-A799-81B47C9BC045'),

    ('425BAAC6-6A0B-419C-B393-79B21A628538')

    OR even better

    prepend

    SELECT t.x FROM (VALUES

    and append

    ) t(x)

    I often use this format to look up data in the database. I know I can achieve this with Excel and consorts. Or even with…

  14. Occasionally I must edit the definition of a computed column. As editing a computed column is not allowed from SQL, would be nice to generate a script that would facilitate this update, similar to the rename script. (Ie, drops indexes, drops the field, recreates the field, and recreates the indexes.)

    Obviously this is similar to the functionality of the Smart Rename, except doesnt' have to edit Views and Sprocs, so hopefully most of the logic could quickly copy over from there!

  15. SQL Prompt allows users to set custom directories for various files.

    It would be nice to be able to change the location of the SqlHistory.db and other files that load to localappdata.

    I would love to have this update to a folder in my oneDrive folder so it is backed up and easier to migrate between computers.

    The only way to do this now is via REGEDIT.

  16. For those of us who have to move between current and older versions of SQL Server, provide a tool to toggle all TRIMS in a script to LTRIM(RTRIMS()) and vice versa to make it easier to adapt scripts when moving between server version.

  17. When you open the command pallet the tools under the Commands tab like 'Add Commas' and 'Add Quotes and Commas' are extremely useful. It would be a tremendous time saver to not have to get to them via the menu and simply be able to assign them to Shortcut Keys and/or Toolbar buttons. There are quite a few options that can be assigned to buttons, but not these. Please consider adding this feature.

    Thanks,

  18. Love the snippets functionality, but four improvements would be nice:
    1) Fix bug that if you click off a snippet to other windows before finishing it that it will lose everything you've entered and switch back to default values for everything.
    2) Add an option to finish a snippet when you tab past the final value instead of cycling back to the first snippet.
    3) When you hit ESC to exit a snippet, leave the cursor where it is instead of jumping to the end of the snippet.
    4) Allow user to define where the cursor should go when exiting…

  20. 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…
