  1. Hi, all. I'm really enjoying using SQL Complete. One feature that's been missing from SSMS is a dark theme. There is a way to hack a "dark theme" -- by changing a setting in a configuration file, but it's incomplete; ‘Object Explorer’ and ‘Output Window’ keep their blindingly white backgrounds. Please consider adding this feature to SQL Complete. Thanks

  2. I have a Problem with spatial functions when using SQL Complete.
    SSMS 18.12.1 always hangs when geompetry functions are used in query editor and SQL Code Completion is turned on.
    eg.: geometry::STPointFromText(( ...
    I have to kill ssms in Taskmanager to recover.

    Please fix this, otherwise SQL Complete is a great tool. SSMS feels broken without it.

  3. Enhanced Documents Sessions

    The main issue I have with SQL Management studio is managing all the tabs and code. One great feature would be the ability to automatically group all sessions by the active database. A modern approach would be to have "grouping" tabs, where you can place code, or a tree approach with subtrees.

    The single biggest issue I have is editing stored procedures/functions. If you multiple tabs with the same proc and edit one, then open the other tab and edit by mistake, it is a disaster. Being able to label a session with the actual stored proc…

  4. Please add the ability to color brackets. Just like it happens in Excel, for example, when you write a function. The opening and closing brackets are marked in one color.

  7. When creating a procedure, often the next step is to execute a piece of permission code. ie:

    CREATE PROCEDURE db.uspdbForgeSQLComplete
    GO
    GRANT EXECUTE ON ..... TO .....
    GO

    Once ON is typed it would be great if the prompts list included the name of the current procedure at the top of the list even if it hasn't yet hit that cache or been created.

  9. Multiple tables in the join statement are indented correctly, but no option to add a line break between the table joins. I find this line break to help legibility when dealing with many tables in a join.

    I think adding the option "break before JOIN keyword" would solve that issue, and not require evaluating for subquery or further complex on statement conditions.

  10. Have the option to set max length for concatenation string. I've seen this implemented in SQL Beautifier and it helped legibility on long strings.

    User should be able to choose max length of characters before wrapping begins, then wrapping begins with + at beginning of line.

    It changes string from long string that user must scroll or have word wrap affect.

    BEFORE:
    ,comment_string = 'Sample text' + 'Sample text' + 'Sample text' + 'Sample text' + 'Sample text'

    to:

    ,comment_string = 'Sample text' + 'Sample text'
    + 'Sample text' + 'Sample text'
    + 'Sample text'

    This would be great to…

  12. In a WHERE clause, there is an option to wrap before a logical operator, but then the operator is aligned with the WHERE keyword. I'd like an option to indent logical operators in the WHERE clause, so it's clear that they are under it.

  13. Requesting a tweak to the indentation level settings for subqueries.

    If I have it set to have closing parenthesis on a new line, I'd like the option to align the whole thing with the starting parenthesis, and this to be the alignment point of the subquery. Increases legibility when lots of subqueries are involved.

    Targeted format:
    select
    1
    ,2
    ,3
    from
    table11 t

    inner join table2 t2
    on t.value = t2.value
    
    inner join ( -- starting parenthesis
    
                select
                    1
                    ,2
                    ,3
                from 
                    subquerytable3
                where
                    test = test
                ) f on t.value = v.value

  14. Long standing issue with SSMS 2012 that has still not been addressed by SSMS Team.

    See:
    Shortcut:
    Text Editor::Ctrl+Alt+Space Edit.ToggleCompletionMode Edit.ToggleCompletionMode True

    Toggles completion mode, however doesn't preserve this change for any other session. Very annoying, requiring extra keystrokes each time using intellisense.

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10555138/ssms-2012-intellisense-behavior?lq=1

    You'd be popular if you could keep this mode preference for the user as designated! I would like the first result to be auto selected so I I hit tab it completes. As it is, it requires extra key strokes. Thanks!

  18. Most of the time I prefer parameters on a single line, but in case they are many I like to wrap.. perhaps two or three in each line.

  19. For insert I would like the starting brackets of fields and values to be aligned.

    The formatter produces

    insert into Table (Field1, Field2)
    values (1, ‚text‘);

    when ideally I would like

    insert into Table (Field1, Field2)
    values (1, ‚text‘);

  20. Currently, Sql Complete doesn't show intellisense for procs in Master DB when the active connection is in a different database. These procedures are still runnable from any database, so it should still show intellisense. This should be enabled by default or at least have an option in settings.
