  2. We use SQL Complete to format our SELECT statements. So the following
    SELECT [aField] FROM [dbo].[aTable]
    turns into
    SELECT
    [aField]
    FROM
    [dbo].[aTable]

    However, this stament is then also transferred from
    SELECT @intVariable = 1
    into
    SELECT
    @intVariable =1

    This is messy, so when we're not selecting from a table, we would like SQLComplete to format our that statement into
    SET @intVariable = 1
    In this case it all fits nicely on a single line again.

  4. It makes searching for queries MUST easier and is a significant reason I will keep using a competitors product (with the resulting conflict between the 2)

  5. Sync settings and snippets across machines.

    For example, if I create an custom snippet on my laptop, then shift to my desktop, the snippet would sync'd to my desktop automatically

  7. Hello,
    I would like to get new options for alias generation that are not based on first letters of the object name but more on parts of the name itself.
    I work with a database that uses the following name standard: T{1}{222}tablename where {1} equals the type and {222} equals the unique trigram for the table (ie: TRCUScustomer for customers table, R being a reference type). I would like the alias to use the {222} part of the name (so "cus" in this case).
    So a new rule such as "T*
    {3}*" where the 3…

  8. There should be a toggle-button that flips between a TEST mode and a production mode for your "code/code window"... And when its in TEST mode, whatever code is there, BEFORE it is executed, is WRAPPED in a Transaction AND rolled-Back.

    APEX SQL has this feature, trying to switch to Devart, and missing it.

  10. It is very common to make typos or spell words incorrectly as you code or write comments. It would be nice to introduce a spelling check of the comments and optionally in variables, column names, table names, procs, functions similarly how it is done in PyCharm.

    That is especially useful when you create new tables. If you misspell a column name it is such a pain to fix it later.

  11. By selecting a portion of the code in a stored procedure, giving the ability to create a new stored procedure or function from that code.

    All variables present in the selected code are automatically passed as parameters. The selected code is then replace by a call to the function/procedure

    This will help to divide the code in sub function and been auto documented.

  12. When typing "JOIN [start of table name]" I would like the suggestions shown by SQL Complete to be based on the foreign keys and [start of table name] instead as now, when it highlights the first table based on [start of table name].

    Example:
    in my database I have a UserAccount and a UserSecurityRole table that are joined by a foreign key so when I start typing
    SELECT * FROM UserAccount ua
    JOIN User

    SQL Complete shows all tables starting with "User" but the one highlighted in the suggestions list i UserAccount instead of UserSecurityRole with a foreign key, so…

  13. Like Microsoft's IntellySense does, when you open or write a script, case errors in variable names, table names, and field names are underlined in red (higlight) as a warning and can be corrected if desired.
    This funcionality is like a spell checker.
    You currently open a script and SQLComplete is not able to tell you what case errors there are.
    This is quite important in environments where this requirement is required to be met.

  14. I often use SQL to generate SQL commands based on information from sys tables. This enables me to keep things in sync.
    Currently I need to Ctrl-C my selection, open a new tab, Ctrl-V in it, and then hit F5.
    A context menu item, that does all this (except F5) would be a nice addition.

  15. The execution history is a great feature. It can be made more using if SQL Complete was able to persist column changes (moves or exclusions). Currently, the end user is able to move the columns, for example, move the Server column to the left or right. The end user can also remove unwanted columns. However if you close SSMS and reopen, the columns are back to their original positions. This is not very user friendly as the purpose of a user changing the column layout is to have it displayed the way they want.

  16. When hovering over a table name in the editor, show the Est. row count at the "top" of the tooltip rather than at the bottom, currently the tip runs off screen on tables with many columns, causing it to be invisible

  17. Keep the comments when formatting procedures! IT can't be that all comments are removed by the formatting process! That happens to my code when I execute ALTER PROCEDURE!
    OR: Give me the option to NOT format my code! I use the Express Version.

  18. I previously used SSMSBoost. There was a feature, Query Post-Execution Handlers, that included Results per Email as an option. This feature leveraged PowerShell as the engine, perhaps because it was a Windows installation, and a "script generator" dialog box that converted selected options and variables into a PowerShell script and email message. I would have added a screen capture of this interface, but this post won't accept attachments. The feature also accepted a threshold so it would only apply to queries that exceed a specified number of seconds. It was nice to be able to set this up for long…

  19. When auto-expanding an insert or update statement by pressing the tab key, the column list provides default values for the columns. With DateTime and DateTime2 in particular, it would be helpful to configure if you want to use the UTC datetime or the current timezone. Our company exclusively stores datetimes in UTC, so to have this default this way would be extremely helpful!

    CREATE TABLE #tmp (ID INT, CreatedDateUtc DATETIME2, Name NVARCHAR(50))

    INSERT INTO #tmp (ID, CreatedDateUtc, Name)
    VALUES (0, SYSDATETIME(), N''); -- allow this to populate as SYSUTCDATETIME() or GETUTCDATE(), depending on DATETIME2 vs DATETIME
