  1. In our schema, we have the unfortunate convention (if you can call it that...) of including underscores in many table and sproc names. For instance, a report sproc might be named ReportSalesByChannel. It would be awesome if the CamelCase interpretation either completely ignored the underscores in the name while providing the suggestions (so typing rsbc would suggest the above named report), or make it so the _ is one of the interpreted characters, which would allow rsbc to again suggest the above sproc. Right now any stored procedure with an underscore cannot be quickly suggested by any abbreviation…

  4. SQL Complete has an option to do renames within the current script. It would be great to support refactoring (rename) tables/views/procs/functions in dependent views/procs/funtions.

    For instance:

    CREATE TABLE dbo.Test (a INT, b INT, CONSTRAINT [PKdboTest] PRIMARY KEY (a))
    GO

    CREATE VIEW dbo.vwTest
    AS
    SELECT * FROM dbo.Test
    GO

    CREATE PROC dbo.spUpdateTest
    (
    @a int,
    @b int
    )
    as
    UPDATE dbo.Test
    SET b = @b
    WHERE a = @a
    GO

    On a separate screen (or from SSMS object explorer) choose refactor and change table name from "dbo.Test" to "dbo.GoodTableName" and SQL Complete would identify all objects where dbo.Test is…

  6. SQL Prompt has a fantastic feature that allows selected text to be wrapped up by pressing control + selecting snippet that utilizes the SELECTEDTEXT value. This is great for wrapping up text in "Begin try", "comment blocks" and other selection oriented snippets.

  7. You already allow a line break before FROM.

    Allows me to specify the number of line breaks.
    in my case i wish to use 2 line breaks after the select list
    i.e.

    SELECT
    Column1
    , Column2
    , Column3

    FROM
    SampleTable AS ST

    WHERE
    ST.Column1 > 1

  8. I like to have separate options for setting the text case for table aliases and for column aliases.
    Personally I want my table aliases to be in lower case and my column aliases not changed (or starting with initial caps, depending on the project I'm working on).

  9. SQL Prompt allows quick editing of snippets by typing a variable name wrapped in dollar signs and automatically adds this to the bottom list of variables to edit. This makes editing a snippet very easy, and doesn't require as many steps as the current SQL complete UI for adding custom variables. Consider evaluating using this type of simplified editing experience.

  12. After I create a query in Sql Management Studio, what I usually do is copy the sql to code. I'm programming in c# and when I copy the sql to code, I must add parentheses at the start and the end of each line with also a '+' character to tells compiler to combine line.

    A very beautiful feature would be to add a shortcut to copy the sql into the clipboard but with these parentheses and '+' character. After that, I just simply have to paste it without error directly into my code.

    Another very beautiful feature would be…

  13. 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.

  15. I would like the option to specify that queries under a certain number of characters be formatted to be on a single line. This would also apply to subqueries so that if they are over the specified limit it follows the formatting rules already in place for subqueries but places simple subqueries on a single line.

    So

    SELECT
    *
    FROM
    TABLE
    WHERE
    COL1 = 5;

    would become

    SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COL1 = 5;

    and

    SELECT
    COL1,
    COL2,
    COL3,
    COL4,
    CASE WHEN COL5 = 50 THEN 'A' ELSE 'B' END
    FROM
    TABLE
    WHERE
    COL1 IN (
    SELECT
    COLB
    FROM…

  16. Resharper, a popular addon for visual studio has a nifty feature where you can hit ctrl+t to open a compact search window where you can type part of a type name, and a list of clickable suggestions is presented as you type.

    http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/navigation_search.html#Go_to_Type

    It would be quite handy to have something similar for Management Studio.
    Clicking any of the matches could open a new query window with an ALTER statement prepared.

    Could you please let us know after what actions exactly it started happening and what exactly happens when you press the mentioned key combination?

    Please also specify what versions and editions of dbForge SQL Complete, SSMS or VS you are using.

  18. Execute Current Statement is a great feature to test out a statement currently being worked. Sometimes I like to break a statement out to its own query window for further development.
    Copy (or Cut) Current Statement would work just like Execute Current Statement except it would copy (or cut) the statement to clipboard instead of executing it.

  19. I have another tool I'd prefer to use for formatting, but SQL Complete captures the "ctl-k, ctl-f" clicks, preventing me from using the other tool.

    Could you please let us know what version of SSMS or VS you are using?

    Please note that in some versions Visual Studio or SSMS you can redefine shortcuts for the commands of dbForge SQL Complete (the command contain ‘SQLComplete’) in the ‘Environment → Keyboard’ section of the ‘Options’ window that can be invoked by selecting ‘Tools → Options’ from the main menu.

    Also, please let us know what tool you prefer for formatting and why you chose it over dbForge SQL Complete.

    You can reply straight to our support system at supportATdevartDOTcom

  20. 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.
