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…

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…2 votes -

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.

SQL History
'History for SQL Queryxxx' pane - there are too many versions. I don't need a version for every minor change. How about adding an option for how often to save versions?

SQL History
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…

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.

Export to Excel bug -- Excel says it needs to repair data
Since upgrading to latest version of SQL Prompt, I seem to be getting an error from Excel when I choose "Open in Excel". The XML recovery log looks like this:
<recoveryLog xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main">
<logFileName>error09000001.xml</logFileName>
<summary>Errors were detected in file 'C:\Users\ned.bush\AppData\Local\Temp\raovxova.xw3\Exported results 2022-10-2509-18-50.xlsx'</summary>

When using the "Qualify Object Names" feature, show a drop-down when multiple possibilities exist
e.g.
declare @1 table (a int, b int)
declare @2 table (a INT, b int)SELECT a, b FROM
@1 a
CROSS JOIN @2 bHere there are 2 possibilities for columns a and b, however SQL prompt only suggests the second one. Both should be shown and the user given the chance to choose.
SQL Prompt does not recognize the ambiguity nor alert the user to it (although Microsoft Intellisense does flag the ambiguity). This can result in the user selecting the wrong alias (since only one is presented, apparently the last one found) which can result in hard-to-debug…

Restore the working "Open in Excel" functionality for exporting numbers.
In version 10.12.1 and older the "Open in Excel" functionality actually created a Excel file where numbers were numbers and could be used in formulas like SUM. Starting in, I think, 10.12.4 you started exporting all numbers as a string. That completely breaks the usability, as you can then no longer make a formula using the numbers. (And while Excel offers the option to convert them back to numbers, it would be a pain to do it for each column that needed it and it takes FOREVER.)
At this point I will have to stay on 10.12.1 and not upgrade…

Script as Insert #tempTable to snippet/placeholder text
When using the Script as Insert, it generates the Create Table with the table name as
#temptable. If you want to change that name, you have to then change it in the Create, Insert, and Drop locations.
Would be nice if this defaulted as a snippet placeholder so that editing one would edit the other two as well.3 votes -
Script as Insert
With the Script as INSERT feature, give the option to just copy the CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements to the clipboard.
I regularly create Temp Tables to store query results when working through a SPROC. (Generate a dataset, throw it in a temp table to use for later, drop it at the end of the SPROC. More efficient than doing one massive Select with Subqueries.) When you Script as INSERT, that's created in a new tab. I copy that code and go back to the original tab.
Would be convenient if I could copy straight to the clipboard and…

Snippet placeholder for currently selected object in Object Explorer
Like the snippet placeholder $SERVER$ inserts the name of the connected SQL server and $DBNAME$ inserts the name of the connected database I would like a placeholder $OBJECTNAME$ that will insert the name of the object already selected in Object Explorer.
