1. Option to remove the new Clear button from Query History

   The new Clear button in Query History seems, in context, to mean clearing the search or filters applied to searching the history. However, it clears the history - deleting everything. Please either let me turn it off or, even better, just move that to the Options / Settings area. I lost so much history because I wasn't paying close enough attention.

3. "Are you sure?" for specific environments

   The tab coloring is great, but sometimes you need another layer of protection. It would be fantastic if certain environments could be designated as "protected" or something like that, and if you execute a script that in environment that does anything other than a SELECT (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, ALTER, etc.), a good old-fashioned "You are running this in "<environment name>. Are you sure?" dialog pops up and you have to click YES in order to actually execute the script.

4. Fields in Alpha Order

   Add an option to expand SELECT * to allow the expansion of the fields to be ordered in the order they currently are or to have the fields listed in Alphabetical order. I work with some tables that have many, many fields and they aren't in a very logical sequence, so I end up searching for the field I want. If I could expand the SELECT * and have the fields be in alphabetical order that would help a lot.

   Of course I can use Find to find the field I want, or create a snippet that lists these table fields in alphabetical order, but it would be nice to have this option.

   SELECT COLUMNNAME
   FROM INFORMATIONSCHEMA.COLUMNS
   WHERE TABLENAME = 'MYTABLE'
   ORDER BY COLUMN_NAME;

5. Add an option to Execute Current Batch

   Add an option to Execute Current Batch, similar to Execute Current Statement, but highlight and run everything between the current batch separators.
   It's a feature I've seen that RedGate SQLPrompt provides and it would be useful to have the ability to run everything within the current batch without having to highlight it all first and then running the selected text.

7. Add "Search" button to execution history and disable auto-search option.

   When searching in execution history, the search value is used pretty quickly after you stop typing. This means that you have to wait for the search to finish even if you weren't done typing the search string. It also means that if you have a typo, you have to wait for the search to finish before you can correct it. I keep a long history of executed SQL, so each search takes a while to run.

   In my opinion, it would be better to have a dedicated "Search" button so that you could submit your search string when you're finished typing it. This should trigger off the enter key as well. That way I can finish typing my search string and just click the button or press enter.

   If it's a useful feature for others to have the search run automatically, then it could be a feature that could be enabled or disabled. For example, I would want the auto-search turned off, but others may want it turned on and set to a certain time-delay, like 5 seconds.

8. editing single instance Stored Procedures

   An option to only allow editing a single instance of a Stored Procedure, Function, etc. (and perhaps the name in the tab or top of file). Or at least a warning if this procedure is already open in another tab.

9. F12

   По F12 объект ищется в текущей базе. Но поиск не срабатывает и падает с ошибкой если:

   1. В базе стоит фильтр, и обьект не может быть найден при текущем фильтре.
   2. Если в окне студии открыт например код процедуры - и он трактуется как некорректный, например из за того что процедура уже есть в базе, а открытый скрипт начинается с CREATE PROCEDURE... То по F12 также выпадет ошибка. Нужно вручную заменить CREATE например на ALTER, только в этом случае поиск по F12 опять сработает.

   Более того, вцелом неудобно сначала по F12 делать поиск, а потом дополнительно на найденом объекте по выпадающему меню выбирать - "открыть скрипт в новом окне". В конкурирующих разработках, даже в самых дешевых - есть возможность сразу показать скрипт создания объекта. Было бы намного удобнее просто на любом объекте - иметь возможность сразу посмотреть скрипт создания. Жду эту дороботку уже который год...

10. Refactoring suggestions

    I really love the refactoring features, but came across 2 things that might be addressed.

    1. when renaming procedure variable and the same variable name is used in other SP that is called using explicit variable assignment, e.g.
       EXEC dbo.otherSp @variable = @variable,
       the other SP variable gets renamed as well
       (e.g. rename
       @variable to @newName creates
       EXEC dbo.otherSp @newName = @newName
       instead of
       EXEC dbo.otherSp @variable = @newName)
       when variable is part of an EXEC command and parameter contains assignment operator, only the variable following an assignment operator should be renamed

    2. when leaving table alias as it is and changing the source table for the alias
       if the new table does not contain column names used throughout the procedure,
       inexistent column names get underlined as expected in most cases (selects, joins on...) but not for ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY /ORDER BY) inside OVER block, it seems like it's a valid column name
       if renaming the alias works inside this blocks, so should the intellisense when changing the source of an alias in all places the alias is used

    otherwise it's great feature and thank You for it, really helps ;)

11. column alias

    I would like an option for column aliases. I would like to choose between = or AS for the "Alias sign".
    The formatting should be done based on this "alias sign" and also be aligned by the alias sign.

    I prefer the = sign , but formatting doesn't seem to accept that as an alias now.

    Example before formatting:

    SELECT colA as [Column A], columnB as [ColumnLonger B]
    FROM Table_1 t

    Formatting when "=" is used as "Alias sign";

    SELECT [Column A] = t.colA
    ,[ColumnLonger B] = t.columnB
    FROM Table_1 t

    Formatting when "AS" is used as "Alias sign":

    SELECT t.colA AS [Column A]
    
    , t.columnB AS [ColumnLonger B]
    FROM Table_1 t

13. Standard color for inactive tabs

    With the tab coloring feature, it can be difficult to tell which tab is the currently active tab just by looking at them. Some of the colors of the disabled tabs come through as slightly different than when they are active, but look like they might be active because they are close to other colors.

    I would suggest either making all inactive tabs gray, or to introduce some other type of visual queue to help easily distinguish active from inactive tabs.

    I can't upload a screenshot here but I do have one as an example.

14. Create SQL Complete Extension for Visual Studio Code

    Create SQL Complete Extension for Visual Studio Code
    More and more I find our developer teams using Visual Studio Code as single IDE for all development and scripting. While the SSMS and Visual Studio extensions are great, most of our developers are not using those tools as much and find it cumbersome to open up the supported IDE's to get SQL Complete's benefits.

15. Document sessions

    Enhanced Documents Sessions

    The main issue I have with SQL Management studio is managing all the tabs and code. One great feature would be the ability to automatically group all sessions by the active database. A modern approach would be to have "grouping" tabs, where you can place code, or a tree approach with subtrees.

    The single biggest issue I have is editing stored procedures/functions. If you multiple tabs with the same proc and edit one, then open the other tab and edit by mistake, it is a disaster. Being able to label a session with the actual stored proc name or something to warn about opening a 2nd tab with one that is already open would make a huge difference for me. (Other suggestions?)
