  1. You already allow a line break before FROM.

    Allows me to specify the number of line breaks.
    in my case i wish to use 2 line breaks after the select list
    i.e.

    SELECT
    Column1
    , Column2
    , Column3

    FROM
    SampleTable AS ST

    WHERE
    ST.Column1 > 1

  2. SQL Complete has an option to do renames within the current script. It would be great to support refactoring (rename) tables/views/procs/functions in dependent views/procs/funtions.

    For instance:

    CREATE TABLE dbo.Test (a INT, b INT, CONSTRAINT [PKdboTest] PRIMARY KEY (a))
    GO

    CREATE VIEW dbo.vwTest
    AS
    SELECT * FROM dbo.Test
    GO

    CREATE PROC dbo.spUpdateTest
    (
    @a int,
    @b int
    )
    as
    UPDATE dbo.Test
    SET b = @b
    WHERE a = @a
    GO

    On a separate screen (or from SSMS object explorer) choose refactor and change table name from "dbo.Test" to "dbo.GoodTableName" and SQL Complete would identify all objects where dbo.Test is…

  3. SQL Prompt allows quick editing of snippets by typing a variable name wrapped in dollar signs and automatically adds this to the bottom list of variables to edit. This makes editing a snippet very easy, and doesn't require as many steps as the current SQL complete UI for adding custom variables. Consider evaluating using this type of simplified editing experience.

  4. SQL Prompt has a fantastic feature that allows selected text to be wrapped up by pressing control + selecting snippet that utilizes the SELECTEDTEXT value. This is great for wrapping up text in "Begin try", "comment blocks" and other selection oriented snippets.

  5. Today, SQL Complete supports filtering the AutoComplete list by typing the initials of CamelCase identifiers. In Resharper, you can type any sequence of characters from the member you are looking for, and the autocomplete list is filtered by any members which contain the character you typed, as long as they appear in the same order you typed. This makes it easier to find what you are looking for, because it's easier to type parts of words than to remember the exact words and their initials.

  6. Execute Current Statement is a great feature to test out a statement currently being worked. Sometimes I like to break a statement out to its own query window for further development.
    Copy (or Cut) Current Statement would work just like Execute Current Statement except it would copy (or cut) the statement to clipboard instead of executing it.

  7. I would like the option to specify that queries under a certain number of characters be formatted to be on a single line. This would also apply to subqueries so that if they are over the specified limit it follows the formatting rules already in place for subqueries but places simple subqueries on a single line.

    So

    SELECT
    *
    FROM
    TABLE
    WHERE
    COL1 = 5;

    would become

    SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COL1 = 5;

    and

    SELECT
    COL1,
    COL2,
    COL3,
    COL4,
    CASE WHEN COL5 = 50 THEN 'A' ELSE 'B' END
    FROM
    TABLE
    WHERE
    COL1 IN (
    SELECT
    COLB
    FROM…

  9. I have another tool I'd prefer to use for formatting, but SQL Complete captures the "ctl-k, ctl-f" clicks, preventing me from using the other tool.

    Could you please let us know what version of SSMS or VS you are using?

    Please note that in some versions Visual Studio or SSMS you can redefine shortcuts for the commands of dbForge SQL Complete (the command contain ‘SQLComplete’) in the ‘Environment → Keyboard’ section of the ‘Options’ window that can be invoked by selecting ‘Tools → Options’ from the main menu.

    Also, please let us know what tool you prefer for formatting and why you chose it over dbForge SQL Complete.

    You can reply straight to our support system at supportATdevartDOTcom

  10. The suggestions list already has 'BEGIN' and 'ROLLBACK' but does not have 'BEGIN TRAN' and 'ROLLBACK TRAN'. I use these a lot and it would be great if they were added.

  11. Those that came before me had a habit of not adding these and it becomes a pain point when debugging.

    --ex of how it looks like now
    INSERT INTO desttable
    (
    id
    ,name
    ,phone
    )
    SELECT
    code AS id
    ,user
    ,tel
    FROM origintable

    --what I would like the addon to do
    INSERT INTO desttable
    (
    id
    ,name
    ,phone
    )
    SELECT
    code AS id
    ,user AS name
    ,tel AS phone
    FROM origintable

  12. There are some identifiers and variables we'd like to force with CAPTITALS regardless of the formatting rules.

    Similar to the "General > Available prefixes:", could we have a "Force word formatting" option where we can enter these special word types? ie. TranSid ==> TRANSID

  13. Currently, Create Type <name> as table (
    doesn't use any formatting rules.
    Can we have this use the same rules as CREATE TABLE?

  14. Add an option to group database entities (tables, views, stored procedures, etc.) by schema rather than flat alphabetical. Click +/- sign to expand or collapse schemas.

  16. I would be helpful to be able to hide ID or partitioning columns that may not ever be needed when selecting data. They just get in the way when expanding SELECT * but are still necessary to the table structure.

  18. I like BACKUP/RESTORE commands formatted so that all the options (especially MOVE options) are on separate lines in order to enhance readability.

  19. Currently SQL Complete only provides IntelliSense for linked servers with the server type of SQL Server. Please add support for other linked server types, such as Oracle, generic OLE DB, etc.

  20. There is a choice on Options > General named Highlight Occurrences. I don't like the way this looks with my color scheme. Suggestion: allow me to change the default highlight color or document where that color comes from in SMMS's color settings.
