  2. I frequently have code like this:

    SELECT *
    into #mytemptable
    FROM mytable m

    and then I remember I need to drop the temp table if it exists.. so I start typing
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS # when I get to this point, I wish the intellisense would recommend #mytemptable but it only recommends previous #temp tables. I wish for this type of statement, it would prompt for all #temp tables in the query window.

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS # <-- intellisense here is needed
    SELECT *
    into #mytemptable
    FROM mytable m

    see image... there is no intellisense

    dbForge parses the object only after it’s declared. So, if the table is declared in the INTO clause, it will be offered only below the place it’s declared in the script and not above.

  3. Add formatting options specific to Window Functions (e.g. ROW_NUMBER) for line breaks and spacing on the different arguments part of the function PARTITION BY, ROW, ORDER BY etc.

  4. Add the ability to work in a different schema as default from the user's default schema. This will facilitate easier working with schema-less scripting, in a database with multiple schemas with similar/identical table/view setup.

  5. Hi,

    I found that full text search intellisense is not there in current version of sql complete, whenever i search for contain or other functions full text search related functions there are not coming in the list. It would be very help full if you can add this feature in next update of sql complete.
    Rest if found anything new enhancements to be made will post.

    Thanks
    Ravinder

  6. Allow for an alphabetical listing when creating a SELECT list? It makes it difficult to quickly check the checkboxes when quickly adding columns.

  7. When joining tables I often get suggestions by SQL Complete for which tables to join. This is extremely useful and saves me a lot of time. Often times however there are multiple joins I want to make to different tables. But I can only select one join at a time. Selecting multiple suggestions with a ctrl+left click or something similar in the suggestions box would be a great addition for my workflow.

  8. Sometimes we have pre-defined snippets that are already formatted in a specific way, e.g. on one line, and shouldn't get adjusted by formatting.

    To support this, add a couple of checkboxes to snippets:
    [x] Exclude from line-break formatting
    [x] Exclude from in-line character formatting

    The first would cause formatting to ignore the snippet with regards to rules that insert line breaks; the second would cause formatting to ignore the snippet wit regards to non-breaking formatting (case, spacing, etc).

    Common use-case; we have a subquery that gets used a lot to find the max value in a field, and if expanded…

  9. In the Object Explorer of SSMS I would like the ability to format multiple documents via the context menu.
    The menu item should be available for Database, Views, Programmability, Programmability/Stored Procedures and Programmability/Functions, and should format all documents in the 'folder'.

  10. It will be very helpful if you have an option to Show/Hide the columns in the Result Set and also an option to search the columnname.

  12. I often find when writing queries in the Sql editor that I want to see a sample of data from the table I'm working with. It would by good if I could right click on the table name in the text editor and have a 'select top 100' option in the popup menu

    You could use the snippets functionality of dbForge SQL Complete.

    The snippet can be as follows:
    SELECT TOP $count$ *
    FROM $schema$.$table_name$

  13. There should be a global empty line management structure for formatting. It would be nice to see:

    - Add empty line before/after keyword
    - Remove empty lines
    - Add empty line between statements

  15. when typing out the values for an insert statement
    SSMS should popup an infotip very much like when inserting parameter for functions in Visual studio C# code.
    e.g. After typing the , (comma). SSMS should show a popup
    Insert into Person.Address
    (
    AddressLine1
    , AddressLine2
    ,City
    ,StateProvinceID
    )
    Values
    (
    ,N''
    ,N''
    ,N''
    , __________________________

    #

    StateprovinceID int not NULL #

    _________________________#

    ^ popUP

  16. AutoComplete suggestion: MS Visual Studio does this, you should too.

    • Type in a function name: SQLComplete adds a full set of parentheses: SET X=myFunction()
    • Type in function parameters: SET x = MyFunction(1,2)
    • If user types closing paren, we have two, which is wrong. Current alternative is to right arrow or something to get past it.
    • SUGGESTION: If user types a paren immediately before a paren, skip past the paren instead!

    MS Visual Studio does this and it works great.

  17. Currently you get an error if the Object Explorer is not connected to the same server. Seems like SQL Complete could make that connection for us and save that step.

  18. Format SELECT columns. Alias on left object on right separated by aligned " = ".

    e.g.

    SELECT
    ThisIsMyFirstCol = a.Col1
    , SecondCol = a.Col2
    , AndTheThrid = a.Col3
    , ForthCol = b.Col1
    , FithCol = CASE WHEN a.col1 = b.col2 THEN 'A'
    WHEN a.col2 = b.col3 THEN 'B' END

    FROM dbo.tableA AS a
    
        INNER JOIN dbo.tableB AS b
            ON a.Col1 = b.Col1

  19. In a SQL script, I create several schemas, tables, and procedures. I'd like to have the ability to right-click an object name (in the editor), and select something like "Generate DROP IF EXIST".

    The tool would understand the object type and automatically add the following to the top of the file:

    DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS <SchemaName1.ProcName1>
    DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS <SchemaName2.ProcName2>
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS <SchemaName1.TableName1>
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS <SchemaName2.TableName2>
    GO
    DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS <SchemaName1>
    DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS <SchemaName2>

  20. Offer refactor option that fully qualifies object names with schema. I know the option is there to do this when typing, ensuring aliased/qualified names. However, one feature in SQL Prompt from RG that is pretty amazing is the option to "refactor-qualify", and it will parse all the object schema names and ensure your proc/table/view/etc calls have the schema name in front of them. This is considered a good practice, but doing manually is very time intensive.
