Executed SQL statements history

SQL query history stores primary information about executed SQL queries for a particular period. You can view, edit, and search the queries you run in the database. Sometimes, users execute complex or lengthy queries but forget to save them or write them down for future reference. With the query execution history, they can easily recall and repeat previously executed queries without the need to reconstruct them from scratch.

Executed SQL statements history

Run script on multiple databases

With the multi scripts feature, you can select databases on the current server and execute a script against them from one query window. You can also specify the mode, in which the script will be executed for the selected databases: parallel or sequential.

Document Outline window

It displays a current document structure and considerably simplifies navigation in large SQL documents. You can synchronize the structure with text directly from the code.

The matching BEGIN TRY/END TRY statements will be highlighted with grey color after you click one of them. The feature significantly facilitates coding by helping quickly find matching statements in long and complex queries.

Highlight BEGIN CATCH/END CATCH

Discover matching BEGIN CATCH/END CATCH pairs in complex queries. After clicking one of the statements, the syntax pair will be highlighted.

Highlight CASE and END

Highlighting matching CASE and END operators can significantly reduce your coding time as CASE expressions used in SQL syntax can be quite long and navigating through them is not an easy task.

Highlight COLUMNS and VALUES in INSERT statement

SQL Complete highlights the name of the columns and its corresponding value in the INSERT statements to help you insert valid values. The feature significantly facilitates writing queries to insert values into multiple columns.

Navigation between queries

When you work with large scripts, SQL Complete will help you quickly find the beginning of an SQL statement. Just press a certain hotkey combination and the cursor will sequentially jump to the beginning of each statement in the SQL document.

Navigation between BEGIN and END

When working with large scripts, it is important to be able to quickly navigate between paired keywords in an SQL statement. With SQL Complete you can jump between BEGIN TRY and END TRY in a blink.

Navigation between BEGIN CATCH/END CATCH

Find matching BEGIN CATCH/END CATCH pairs in complex queries. By pressing Shift+F12, your cursor will jump up or down to the matching keywords.

Navigation between CASE и END

The CASE expressions used in statements can be quite long and navigating between their beginnings and ends can be a daunting task. To solve this problem, jumping between CASE and END has been introduced.

Navigation between brackets

You can quickly jump between matching brackets within a statement by pressing Ctrl+]. This SSMS built-in feature helps save time and energy when writing long and complex queries.

Navigation to a label

Managing and troubleshooting the flow of SQL code can be quite backbreaking, however, with SQL Complete, you can jump between the GOTO statements and labels they are targeted to in a wink of an eye.

Navigation between COLUMNS and VALUES in INSERT statement

In large INSERT statements, it's often hard to determine which value corresponds to which column, and vice versa. This functionality will help you quickly locate a corresponding value for the current column.

Generate CREATE/ALTER script for server objects

This option lets you generate a script for object's modification after you drag the carriage to that object.

Generate CRUD

Quickly generate CRUD (CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE) stored procedures for tables using customizable procedure that can be changed to better suit your needs.

Generate CRUD

Inline EXEC

Unwraps the sp_executesql procedure into a neat and readable static SQL query.

Unwraps the sp_executesql procedure into a neat and readable static SQL query.

Execution warnings

This feature analyzes potentially dangerous statements (DELETE, DROP, TRUNCATE, and UPDATE) and generates a pop-up alert if a user is about to execute a statement that may cause data loss. For example, the execution warning will be thrown up if you try to execute a DELETE statement with no WHERE clause.

Execution notifications

When a query is successfully executed, a pop-up dialog box notifies you about the time of execution. If the query was running more than 23:59:59 hours, days are added to the time in the Execution Notification.

Transaction reminder

Whenever there open transactions during query execution, a reminder will pop-up informing you about the number of uncommitted transactions.

Generate Script As from SSMS data grid

You can generate a script from the SSMS grid based on the data in the table for the following statements: INSERT, INSERT #tmpTable, WHERE IN(), WHERE AND OR, UPDATE. You can select the result statement to be saved to a file, copied to a clipboard, or opened in a new window.

Copy data from SSMS grid to file or clipboard

The data from a cell or entire table can be copied from the results grid to a file or clipboard in any of the available formats (CSV, XML, HTML, JSON).
