  1. 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…

  2. While camel casing matching is extremely helpful, it breaks when adding middle characters to it, perhaps consider adding to it the same way Visual Studio does it, it’ll be much more helpful.

    For example, consider I have a column "FinalSellingFee" and a column "FreeShippingFunction", when I enter "fsf", both appear, now I only want the second, in Visual Studio I'll simply enter "fsfu" (adding a "u" at the end), or "fshf" (adding an "h" after the "s"), and it'll automatically get that I want the second. It makes it so much easier and quicker.

  3. Now, each time I want to search in Execution History I need to type keyword I want to find. It would be nice that it would be store last X searched keywords and it would be possible to select from drop-down menu those items

  4. I would be helpful to be able to hide ID or partitioning columns that may not ever be needed when selecting data. They just get in the way when expanding SELECT * but are still necessary to the table structure.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. It would be really useful if the option is added to see NULL & NOT NULL Count info on the Grid aggregates info-bar along with other aggregates. This will save a lot of time in finding any null value if presents in large data result set.

  9. In Visual Studio there is a plug that allows you to have the document tabs down the right hand side, which when you have loads of files open is very useful, especially now we have widescreen monitors. However SSMS is behind the times and the tabs along the top isn't enough. Can you please add a feature to display the sql tabs down the side rather than the top.

  11. It would be awesome, if you easily could select more than one suggestion in the "List Members" dropdown.

    I often need to choose more than one field from a table - and if the table needed isn't the first one, it takes some extra typing to find it.

    One option could be to leave the dropdown open when choosing an item. Another option (Stolen from LinqPad), is to press a dedictated key (½ or ` in LinqPad) which chooses it, but leaves the suggestion list open.

  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.

  13. 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

    Could you please provide us an example of this?

    You can send the reply straight to our support system at alexaATdevartDOTcom and supportATdevartDOTcom .

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Exclude columns [v].IDENTITYCOL, [v].$IDENTITY from select when checking the table checkbox on the suggestion popup window

    example:
    SELECT [v].id, [v].name, [v].IDENTITYCOL, [v].$IDENTITY FROM table [v]

  17. When installing an upgrade, my additions to the snippets manager are maintained. However, I would like the option to keep all edits I've made to the default set of snippets as well.

    We just checked and confirm that changes made in the snippets are preserved when upgrading dbForge.

  18. I have tab size and indent size both set to 4, so most indented items are indented by 1 tab. This is what I want.

    However, with a stacked list, I want the leading comma to be indented by 1 tab (and the first item by 1 tab plus 1 space).

    At the moment, the commas are indented by 3 spaces. The only way I have found to change this is to set indent size to 5, but that then causes other indents to be 1 tab + 1 space.

  19. 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.

  20. When starting visual studio with SQL Complete, it takes 15 seconds more to open Visual studio.

    Maybe you can change to load the data after visual studio is opened? That way the delay is not visible to the user.
