  1. I like the option to align assignments in SELECT, UPDATE, etc, but I don't like that the alignment happens after the equals sign. It's much neater and easier to read when each column is aligned with an equals sign for the assignment.

    (It's for this reason we use equals for column aliases rather than AS)

  2. SQL Complete stops giving any table suggestions following a system command like sphelp or sphelptext. It should recognize "sp_help Customers" as valid and intellisense should continue working for any statement written below.

  3. 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.

  4. 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'.

  5. 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…

  6. For example:
    I have such code:
    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Proc9999999
    AS
    BEGIN
    SELECT 1
    END
    --many empty lines here

    GO

    Here what I will get after formatting:

    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Proc9999999
    AS
    BEGIN
    SELECT 1
    END
    GO

  7. 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.

    example:
    -- run code in sqlcmd mode
    :connect [servername] -U my_account -P T0pS3cretP@ssw0rd!

  11. CREATE TYPE dbo.MyType AS TABLE
    (
    MyTypeId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL
    , MyTypeContent1 VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
    );

    DECLARE @a AS dbo.MyType

    INSERT INTO @a --> Tab-Tab expands just like it does for other table types.

  12. 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.

  13. As a developer, I would like options to format Block Comments.

    Each of these would be check boxes to enable/disable the feature. The last two options would have a text input box at the end to allow the user to enter the character(s)

    ☑Insert empty line before block comments
    ☑Insert empty line after block comments
    ☑Add border above block comments using: *
    ☑Add border below block comments using: *

    Before:

    USE AdventureWorks2012
    GO

    /* First line of a multiple-line comment.
    Second line of a multiple-line comment. */

    SELECT * FROM HumanResources.Employee
    SELECT * FROM Person.Address /*Single line comment*/
    GO

    After:

  14. As a user it would be helpful to be able to customize how INDEX statements are formatted.

    For example, it would be nice to be able to configure the indent for the second line where the "INCLUDE" statement is as shown below:

    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IXTableColumn] ON [dbo].[Table] ([Column1],[Column2], [Column3])
    INCLUDE ([Column4],[Column5],[Column6])
    GO

    Currently, SQL Complete formats the above text pushing the second line all the way to the left as shown below:

    CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IXTableColumn] ON [dbo].[Table] ([Column1],[Column2], [Column3])
    INCLUDE ([Column4],[Column5],[Column6])
    GO

    I am unable to find a current setting to indent the second…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. I would like the ability to change the connection on multiple tabs in a single action. Currently, if I am testing in one environment with multiple tabs open, I need to change each connection individually. I would like a way to specify a new connection for multiple tabs.

  19. In SQL Complete, I would love an option that lets you Format Selection but only changes the casing to what you have specified in your active profile. It would leave all other formatting as is.

  20. It would be very helpful to be able to right click on a tab in SSMS and have the option to rename it.

    I currently have "SSMS Tools" installed to be able to accomplish this. Would be great to have the option in SQL Complete and be able to uninstall "SSMS Tools"
