Format Join Order
On our team we are very particular about the order of our joins as they are written in the query. I would like to request an option to format joins so the table you are joining on is the first item in the join. In the example below you join to tableb so the first ON clause is tableb, subsequently on the tablec join the first join is on objects from tablec.
SELECT (columns)
FROM tablea a
INNER JOIN tableb b ON
a.id = b.id
INNER JOIN tablec c ON
b.id2 = c.idTo:
SELECT (columns)
FROM tablea a
INNER JOIN tableb b ON
b.id = c.id
INNER JOIN tablec c ON
c.id = b.id2On our team we are very particular about the order of our joins as they are written in the query.

SQL History SORT BY option, as in DATE DESC
SQL History sorts files by modified date ASCENDING. Its needs to be DATE DESCENDING. Need options to sort by name or date, ASC or DESC. Like how TAB HISTORY used to.

history connection
As I click open on a query in SQL History it gets displayed in a new tab. However this tab has no active connection. To be able to run the query I have to connect the tab manually to the database.
For me it would be much easier if opening the query from History would also open a connection to the database the query ran the last time.If there are specific reasons why this was not implemented it would still be nice, if there were an option available to automatically connect to the server.

enable renaming queries that are found by the search (starred queries)
It should be possible to rename queries that are found by the search. Especially this concerns "starred queries". Unfortunately, the list of found queries lacks the small 3-dot menu that is available in the unfiltered list. And there you can rename a query if it is not currently open.
That had worked in the old tab history. And it was a very important tool for me to save my queries under meaningful names.

ORDER BY 1 gives incorrect warning
The following gives the warning "ORDER BY clause with constants". In this statement, "1" is not a constant, but a reference to the 1st column.
SELECT TOP (10) Field1, Field2 FROM MyTable ORDER BY 1 DESC

Copy as IN clause should follow formating setting
I use the Copy as IN clause a lot and think it is one of the most helpful functions in SQL Prompt.
It would be even better if it could format the IN list according to the Style setting you have selected.
This is how it is created when right clicking on the function
ContractsId IN
(
234151,
234321,
239990,
228809,
240808,
231809,
240021,
230876,
231739,
239555,
240972
)If I then use format SQL it changes it to the way I want it, without line brakes for each row but in relation to the other statement.
It would be nice if the formating of the right click function followed the Style setting for IN lists.
SELECT *
FROM tra.ContractDetailView
WHERE SourceSystemNo = 4
AND ContractsId IN (234151, 234321, 239990, 228809, 240808, 231809, 240021, 230876, 231739, 239555, 240972)I use the Copy as IN clause a lot and think it is one of the most helpful functions in SQL Prompt.

SQL History
Over the years my Tab/Sql History became huge, and it is working very slow. I am looking for a way to clean up.
1. There is no way to select multiple lines to delete. Delete is available only for one row. For example, every ALTER PROCEDURE creates history. I don’t need it at all. I would like to find all of them and delete.
2. There is no functionality to compress and reindex Sql History database.
3. Ironically “Send Feedback” link on a bottom of screen leads to nowhere.9 votes -
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.

NOLOCK
Add a Refactor/Reformat option to REMOVE NOLOCK HINTS - with the NOLOCK hint deprecated and the hint being ignored in SQL Server 2022 and beyond, it would be great if refactor option in SQL Prompt to quickly remove WITH (NOLOCK) or (NOLOCK) hints from the selected SQL. It will be useable for years when addressing older SQL that utilized that hint. It would be helpful for the next decade at least to have a quick way to clean up the old SQL statements. If you can imagine how many times NOLOCK hints have been used in SQL Server over the last 30+ years, all those old SQL statements that are still in use should have those hints removed when refactoring that code.

Load Suggestion
When opening a "New Query" window in Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS), SQL promt automatically load suggestions every time.
If the connection with the server is strong, this tipically takes about 1-2 seconds.
I am using a VPN that has a low bandwith and i have to wait 30-40 seconds every time i open such a window.
Since i have the possibility to load the suggestions manually using CTRL + SHIFT + D,
it would be great to have a setting that will prevent loading suggestion in every situation as described above.
Just store the suggestions in the cache first time SQL Prompt access the server within a SSMS session, and use it afterwards without loading them every time.When opening a "New Query" window in Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS), SQL promt automatically load suggestions every time.

Can't see Full Database name
using LocalDB, the database path names can be rather long, and in the Sql Prompt Invalid objects UI, there isn't a way to expand the database name, no pull handles or widening of the screen doesn't change the comboboxs dimensions which makes it hard to find the one I need without clicking through each one.

Recent queries section has date sections wrong. It is showing queries from last night as today. Maybe a time zone thing? It should use the machine's time zone.

Connect queries on SSMS open but do not refresh suggestions
In prior versions, SQL Prompt would connect open queries as SSMS was opening but it would not refresh suggestions (index associated database) until an open query tab was activated (selected).
The current version (10.13.3.32087) still connects open queries but it also refreshes suggestions for all open queries as it is connecting them.
This leads to a sluggish experience with both typing and an increased delay in the time it takes for SQL Prompt suggestions to display. I suspect it is due to the large amount of cached suggestions.
I typically leave many query tabs open when working in SSMS so that I can keep track of my work as I bounce from database to database but I regularly only work with a few tabs in a given day.
The workaround I am using is to disable "Automatically reconnect restored queries" but the downside to this is that I cannot look at the listing of open queries to see what server and database I was working with.
A possible solution would be to add an option that separates the reconnect restored queries process from the refresh suggestion for restored queries.

Exclude standard column names from join suggestions
We add certain standard columns to all tables (LastUpdatedDate for example). Would be great to be able to set a list of these columns in the Options so they can be excluded from list of suggested JOINS

Create shortcut to filter setting
Hello Redgate and the community,
During my day to day work, it would be greatly helpful to get a shortcut to enter the filter setting menu, not only on databases, but also tables, views and stored procedures and what not, just a global shortcut, to enter the filter setting on the selected folder (if that is available for the folder)3 votes -
New Code Analysis Rule: Flag system named constraints
It is generally bad practice to use system named constraints and there should be a rule for flagging them when there is DDL code creating one.
