  1. 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.

  2. When starting visual studio with SQL Complete, it takes 15 seconds more to open Visual studio.

    Maybe you can change to load the data after visual studio is opened? That way the delay is not visible to the user.

  3. This will interface beautifully with the rename option that is included with SQL complete. Frequently i'll copy code sets that use two different objects or start as table reads and later become a read from a temp table. being table to change the "from" and easily being able to the rename the alias/table to the new source and have all other references to it be updated as well would be great

  4. Now, each time I want to search in Execution History I need to type keyword I want to find. It would be nice that it would be store last X searched keywords and it would be possible to select from drop-down menu those items

  5. 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.

  6. We have a policy of always putting square brackets around identifiers in SQL Scripts. When using SQL Complete we have the option turned on to always use square brackets and this works fine when scripting brackets are inserted for us just fine. However when we open a legacy script and format the document, missing square brackets are not inserted so we have to manually go through the script to add them.

    If Always On is selected for square brackets then I press Ctrl+K Ctrl+D to format the document I would like to have missing square brackets inserted, that is all…

  7. 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'.

  8. Code preview when hovering a tab or session in the "Documents Sessions" window. I often have several tabs open at once and they are all called "SQLQuery#.sql" which doesn't help. Allow me to see what code is in the tab by hovering it, or ctrl+tab or like tabing through windows or hovering windows in the taskbar in Windows.

  9. In our company we are working with SAP Business One (SBO). SBO has a fixed database stucture which may not be changed at all. Relations are not directly built into the database.

    A custom relation mapping feature would help us with correct suggestions for the databases while still maintaining the database structure as it is.

  10. I have tab size and indent size both set to 4, so most indented items are indented by 1 tab. This is what I want.

    However, with a stacked list, I want the leading comma to be indented by 1 tab (and the first item by 1 tab plus 1 space).

    At the moment, the commas are indented by 3 spaces. The only way I have found to change this is to set indent size to 5, but that then causes other indents to be 1 tab + 1 space.

  11. 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.

  13. It would be really useful if the option is added to see NULL & NOT NULL Count info on the Grid aggregates info-bar along with other aggregates. This will save a lot of time in finding any null value if presents in large data result set.

  14. I like the option to align assignments in SELECT, UPDATE, etc, but I don't like that the alignment happens after the equals sign. It's much neater and easier to read when each column is aligned with an equals sign for the assignment.

    (It's for this reason we use equals for column aliases rather than AS)

  15. It would be awesome, if you easily could select more than one suggestion in the "List Members" dropdown.

    I often need to choose more than one field from a table - and if the table needed isn't the first one, it takes some extra typing to find it.

    One option could be to leave the dropdown open when choosing an item. Another option (Stolen from LinqPad), is to press a dedictated key (½ or ` in LinqPad) which chooses it, but leaves the suggestion list open.

  16. 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…

  17. As a developer, I would like options to format Block Comments.

    Each of these would be check boxes to enable/disable the feature. The last two options would have a text input box at the end to allow the user to enter the character(s)

    ☑Insert empty line before block comments
    ☑Insert empty line after block comments
    ☑Add border above block comments using: *
    ☑Add border below block comments using: *

    Before:

    USE AdventureWorks2012
    GO

    /* First line of a multiple-line comment.
    Second line of a multiple-line comment. */

    SELECT * FROM HumanResources.Employee
    SELECT * FROM Person.Address /*Single line comment*/
    GO

    After:

  18. CREATE TYPE dbo.MyType AS TABLE
    (
    MyTypeId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL
    , MyTypeContent1 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
    );

    DECLARE @a AS dbo.MyType

    INSERT INTO @a --> Tab-Tab expands just like it does for other table types.

  20. It would be nice to have smarter subquery intellisense that works like the joining intellisense that suggest matches based on column names.

    E.g.
    SELECT * FROM Users WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM UserRoles WHERE Users.UserID = (**Pop up intellisense suggesting UserRoles.UserID*) UserRoles.UserID AND UserRoles.RoleID = 1)

    E.g.2
    E.g.
    SELECT UserID, UserName, (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM UserRoles WHERE Users.UserID = (**Pop up intellisense suggesting UserRoles.UserID*) UserRoles.UserID) AS NumberOfRoles FROM Users
