## What is SQL Complete?

SQL Complete is an advanced solution for SQL database development, management, and administration. Available as an add-in for Visual Studio and SSMS, the tool offers excellent autocompletion capabilities. Write, beautify, refactor your SQL code easily and boost your productivity dramatically due to the features that are included in SQL Complete but are lacking in Management Studio and Visual Studio IntelliSense. Supports SQL Server 2022.

Es vereinfacht und beschleunigt den Umgang guten und effizienten SQL-Code zu schreiben. Auch die Historie im Tool und die SQL-Code Beispiele unterstützen eine besser und schnellere Arbeitsweise.

Pros

Das Tool "SQL Complete" unterstützt sehr gut beim Schreiben von "SQL-Statements". Es macht die ganze Umsetzung (SQL-Code schreiben) effizienter und schneller.

Cons

Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn alle wichtigen "SQL Complete" Befehle mit Kurztasten ausführbar wären. Zusätzlich wäre es sinnvoll noch eine AI-Hilfe als Unterstützung einzubinden, um die aktuellen Statements zu analysieren, damit optimierte SQL-Statements vorzuschlagen werden können.

Overall, it’s a solid and useful tool for everyday SQL work. It helps speed up simple tasks, but there’s still room for improvement for advanced users.

Pros

Very easy to use and saves a lot of time when writing SQL queries. The suggestions are usually accurate and helpful, especially for beginners or quick tasks.

Cons

I don’t see any drawbacks. If there were any small issues, I noticed them but they were quickly fixed and improved in later updates and releases.

My overall experience with SQL Complete has been excellent. It streamlines SQL development by reducing repetitive tasks and improving code accuracy. The advanced IntelliSense and formatting tools make writing complex queries much easier.

Pros

The standout feature for me is the advanced IntelliSense. SQL Complete provides context-aware suggestions that are more accurate and helpful than the default SQL Server tools, especially when working with complex queries or large schemas.

Cons

SQL Server Management Studio generates SQL with square brackets. The bracket removal is still missing from the SQLComplete formatter.

Pros

What I liked most about SQL Complete is how much it improves productivity when working in SSMS. The intelligent auto-completion, query formatting, and code snippets make writing SQL much faster and help keep queries clean and consistent. It integrates seamlessly into the SSMS editor and makes navigating database objects much easier, especially when working with larger schemas.

Cons

In larger databases with many objects, the autocomplete suggestion list can sometimes become quite long, which makes it a bit harder to quickly find the exact table or column you’re looking for. Initial indexing of very large databases can also take some time.

Love it and would not want to miss it. Have been postponing fully moving over to SSMS 22 until SQL complete is available :-)

Pros

The Autocomplete functionality is a lot better than SSMS built-in. I also like the very customizable SQL formatter and the code navigation tools.

Cons

It adds a bit to the SSMS start-up time, which is understandable, but still. Also, sometimes triggering an autocompletion (or not) is a bit confusing.

Our overall experience with SQL Complete has been great and our developers find it a boost to productivity and code quality.

Pros

Across my team the favorite features are the auto-complete and formatting provided. Auto-saving and color coding tabs are a big help when having to switch context quickly between project and support work. Code snippets and configurable table aliases generally improve the team's efficiency by allowing commonlu used query elements to be re-used and table aliases to follow standard usage across the team.

Cons

We've had challenges with exporting and re-importing snippets and table aliases between SSMS versions. For fast typers the auto-complete can lag keyboard input.

I wish we had discovered SQL Complete sooner. We've been using SSMS for many years and we only started using SQL Complete not long ago because I was looking for a code formatter that doesn't cost a lot. Turned out the devs loved the code completion feature and we've been using it (and renewing the license) since then.

Pros

There are so many features but we only consciously use the code completion and formatting and we use those features every single day. I was testing a new version of SSMS recently and realized so many things that we now take for granted actually aren't a part of the standard install.

Cons

Not about the product itself, but buying perpetual license vs. subscription was confusing for us. Support walked us through the purchase step but I feel it could be made simplier.

My experience has been great. I’ve had and renewed my subscription for over 5 years and enjoy the product

Pros

I use SQL Complete every day. I love the fact that you can close down SSMS and reopen with all of the tabs opened. It’s a great time saver as I often have a lot of tabs open. I also enjoy the history and use it ever day to reopen old successful queries that I may not have saved previously. It’s also very easy to export all of the history and import onto another machine or even version of SSMS when you upgrade.

Cons

I wish there was a way to create a table out of a view with the right-click context menu. You can right-click on a query’s table and create a Create Table query, but you can’t do that with a view. This is odd as you can see the column definitions of a view when you hover over a view name. I also wish you could install on more than 2 machines. I have work laptop and a personal laptop and desktop. If I want to install on all three, I have to buy 2 licenses.

I've been using this tool for many years and haven't found anything as good on the market. It has everything I need for my work.

Pros

Syntax hinting with a list of object fields, generating scripts with data (insert, update), copying data in various formats (html, json, xls), data viewer for not text data.

Cons

Difficulties with setting auto formatting correctly. I miss a proper Object Explorer window with object searching and fast filtering, e.g. with a simple click on the first letter of the object name, e.g. all tables starting with x...

It greatly assists SQL writing via superior IntelliSense.However, in this AI era, the complete lack of any AI related features is a clear and notable shortcoming that hinders its future value.

Pros

What I liked most about SQL Complete was undeniably the highly effective and intelligent IntelliSense and code completion feature.

Cons

The aspect I liked least about SQL Complete was the inconsistent stability and the frequent emergence of serious bugs immediately following a version update.
