My frustration with SQLComplete is due to being unheard month after month. I submitted these as bugs and enhancements many times. Their consistent canned response is to upgrade to their newest version...which never actually addresses my issues.

I did get value out of their product at first. I went through the 1000+ developers' stored procedures in my project and cleaned up the formatting and added aliases, etc. SQLComplete works well for code that is already written.

My guess is that they are calling Microsoft's sql parser and cannot solve some of the problems I've requested unless they roll their own parser. They are following such strict rules that it diminishes the value of the product for development use. This is similar to a browser not showing a website because of a single unmatched tag somewhere on the page.

When all is said and done, SQLComplete gets in the way with useless dropdown lists more often than it is helpful at completing a sql statement.
