  2. 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. In the formatting profiles, I would like built-in variables to be all-caps, while user variables left as declared

    e.g. @MyVariable should stay as-is, but @@ROWCOUNT should be all-caps

  5. I frequently have code like this:

    SELECT *
    into #mytemptable
    FROM mytable m

    and then I remember I need to drop the temp table if it exists.. so I start typing
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS # when I get to this point, I wish the intellisense would recommend #mytemptable but it only recommends previous #temp tables. I wish for this type of statement, it would prompt for all #temp tables in the query window.

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS # <-- intellisense here is needed
    SELECT *
    into #mytemptable
    FROM mytable m

    see image... there is no intellisense

    dbForge parses the object only after it’s declared. So, if the table is declared in the INTO clause, it will be offered only below the place it’s declared in the script and not above.

  6. Add the ability to work in a different schema as default from the user's default schema. This will facilitate easier working with schema-less scripting, in a database with multiple schemas with similar/identical table/view setup.

  7. Hi,

    I found that full text search intellisense is not there in current version of sql complete, whenever i search for contain or other functions full text search related functions there are not coming in the list. It would be very help full if you can add this feature in next update of sql complete.
    Rest if found anything new enhancements to be made will post.

    Thanks
    Ravinder

  8. I would like to start using Azure Data Studio (ADS), as it has some features missing in SQL Server Management Studio. However, I am always using Format Document (^K,^D) and Format Selection (^K,^F). I would also miss SQL Complete's code snippets in ADS. I like and use SQL Complete so much that this is the main reason I won't yet use ADS. If you made a plugin for ADS I would buy it.

  9. 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…

  10. 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'.

  12. 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.

  14. I have "Enclose identifiers within square bracket" set to "Always", which in most cases are great.
    However, collation names are also being enclosed in square brackets, which seems to be invalid.
    Please correct.

    Could you please specify what product version you are using?

    A video or screenshots would be also of help.

  15. It will be very helpful if you have an option to Show/Hide the columns in the Result Set and also an option to search the columnname.

  16. In my database named "IDS", I have a schema named "ids".
    I would like to specify that the schema be lower case when formatting.

    This is what currently happens.
    When I format something like this:
    select * from IDS.ids.Location l;

    It is formatted to:
    SELECT * FROM IDS.IDS.Location l;

    I would like to specify that the schema be lower case:
    SELECT * FROM IDS.ids.Location l;

  17. Allow for an alphabetical listing when creating a SELECT list? It makes it difficult to quickly check the checkboxes when quickly adding columns.

  18. Currently SQL Complete notification (like "Uncommitted transaction" and "Query execution completed") show up and disappear. It would be great to have them on a panel similar to "Document Sessions", so you can review them later.

  20. Order code completion by schema. Currently it orders alphabetical by table name.

    Lets say you have the following schema.tables :

    main.fullfillmentaddress
    staging.contact
    address
    history.directrelatedaddress

    If I type in the following

    select * from address
    (the code completion will suggest in this order):
    staging.contactaddress
    history.direct
    relatedaddress
    main.fullfillment
    address

    I'd prefer main to always be the first schema returned. Not a big deal when you only have a few tables but we have hundreds.
