  1. I often find when writing queries in the SQL edior 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

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. it would be great if you add an icon for fast switching between Formatting Profiles in toolbar, rather than going to menu bar SQL Complete>Options>Formatting>Profiles>[select]>Activate>[OK].
    The lack of this feature makes it almost impractical to use multiple formatting in one script.

  9. 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>

  10. 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.

  11. when typing an insert statement (as an example), I get the prompt to "Press Tab to paste full INSERT statement". After pressing tab, SQL Complete will put the insert statement in there to the formatting rules specified.

    There are situations where I do that and the insert statement is tabbed over to the right but the full statement pasted is over to the left. Could SQL Complete format it so that the paste is formatted where it should be? It would save me a format document request!

  14. The suggestions list already has 'BEGIN' and 'ROLLBACK' but does not have 'BEGIN TRAN' and 'ROLLBACK TRAN'. I use these a lot and it would be great if they were added.

  16. Add an option to group database entities (tables, views, stored procedures, etc.) by schema rather than flat alphabetical. Click +/- sign to expand or collapse schemas.

  18. When generating the INSERT INTO statement after typing INSERT INTO [TableName] and hitting tab, it would be helpful in the VALUES list, in addition to showing the default value, if the column name was included. For example -
    INSERT INTO Users
    VALUES (DEFAULT /ID/, '' /FirstName/, '' /LastName/)

    This way, for wide tables, you don't have to count column to keep track of which column you are working with.

  20. replace "indent GROUP BY Phrase" with 2 options:
    1) "Indent GROUP BY Keyword"
    2) "Indent GROUP BY columns"

    the current options will now allow for formatting flexibility as it does for the where keyword/condition
