  1. Filter on the toolbar for filtering on all objects. To work in real time as you type. Current filter process is painful.

    Imagine I want to filter SP's, tables, views based on the string 'pack', for stuff like 'vwpackingtray' and 'sppackStrut'. At the moment I have to go to each object type area individually, open a poorly designed dialog, select focus before typing (?), type in the search term and save.

    I want a filter textbox in the toolbar, and as I type in it, the objects across the whole database(s) start to filter down to…

  2. Shortcut (Shift+Alt+O) to open an window with the names of all database objects (stored procedures, tables) and a textbox to enter the name (partial, multipart) of the object to find. While typing remove non matched names from the list. When selecting an object open a menu with options like Script Object AS (CREATE, INSERT etc).
    Then open a new SQL Server Management Studio window with the selected SQL code.

  4. I love the "format document" and "format selection" features and would be interested in a "unwrap document" and "unwrap selection" feature.

    I use Notepad++ to do it currently but it is required when trying to paste SQL Code in Visual Studio.

    All it does is turn the code into 1 line...

    Thanks
    Yann

  6. When a single quote is entered, add a trailing quote and prefix the leading quote with an N if equality with a Unicode value can be inferred. Move insertion point between the quotes.

  7. I would like to format the comments that appear at the end of a line as part of the "stack columns" and "Table View".

    The stacking and table view for comments should have similar behavior as the column and alias view. They appear column aligned.

    Example (because posting destroys the formatting of my post, I'll use "." for spacing):

    SELECT
    .....column1.....AS a.........-- CommentA
    .....col2............AS b........ -- CommentB
    .....col3........... AS abc.....-- CommentC

    Thank you. Jake.

  10. I like to capitalise 'begin' and 'end' in lower case so my code looks like this:

    IF @Return = 1
    begin
    SELECT Name FROM Table
    end
    ELSE
    begin
    SELECT 0
    end

    The begin and end words should not be as bold as the sql statements, a bit like curly brackets are.

  11. When a SET statement is a series of concatenated strings and you wrap the elements, the formatter aligns the wrapped strings with the SET keyword. They should have an option to be indented. Note below that periods denote indentation.:

    SET @Foo = @Bar + " some text " + @Baz +
    ......." some more text";

    Is formatted as:

    SET @Foo = @Bar + " some text " + @Baz +
    " some more text";

    Note that the indentation on the wrapped line is removed. It would be nice to have an option that results in:

    SET @Foo = @Bar +…

  13. 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.

  14. When you type "insert into table(" popup with check-boxes shows up. After you select desired columns you have to add 'values' part manually.

    It would be nice if after selection of desired columns and typing ")" 'values' part shows up with preset only for selected columns.

  15. It would be nice to be able to specify a separate format for simple case statements with only one 'when' and possibly an 'else' clause. These can typically easily fit in one line, while complicated case statements benefit from taking up the additional lines to improve readability.

    declare @profit float = 10

    /* Simple case statement can fit on one line */
    select case when @Profit > 0 then 'Great' else 'Not so great' end

    /* Complex case statement requires multiples lines */
    select case
    when @Profit > 10000 then 'Nice!'
    when @Profit > 0 then 'OK'
    else 'You''re fired!'…

  16. I see table description extended properties displaying, but no details on the column description. I'd like this to be an option, so if a business uses this for documentation, you could easily look at the column definitions while using the intellisense suggestion list.

  17. The feature to go to the definition of an object in the object explorer currently does not support filters. If that subsection is filtered where the object should be, it will give an error instead of removing/changing the filter and locating it.

  18. Most of the time, the schema does not change when I connect to the server via SSMS. It would be nice if the auto suggestion cache would maintain itself between executions of SSMS, and only update the parts which are different from the last time. This would make the startup experience faster over slower links (like VPN) to the server. It also would help with databases that have a large number of objects.

    DECLARE @sourceTrackId int = (SELECT
    Id

    Could you please send us the screenshots of the actual and expected results to our support system at supportATdevartDOTcom for investigation?

  20. Already the best formating add-in, but please make it truly complete with these few additions (some are from ApexSQL Refactor) to make it really perfect, thanks.

    • Line break immediately after WHEN, WHILE, IF keywords (to be more consistent like WHERE, HAVING, ON), and then indent their conditions.

    • Do not use a line break before the first item (or remove the existing one) if there is only one item (like SELECT with only one column).

    • Always use BEGIN / END for IF / ELSE, WHILE (add if missing).

    • Always use INTO for INSERT (add if missing).

    • Always use AS for aliases…
