Hi,
Steve - Can you recollect which version of SQL Prompt you had used and found these issues on?
SQL Prompt did have some performance issues with the older versions. However, we did address this issue in our recent versions and there has been a massive improvement which is visible in our current versions!
Grant - As far as the intrusiveness is concerned, SQL Prompt gives you an option to turn off the automatic triggerring (so that the suggestions do not get populated unless you manually force it to show using CTRL+SPACE). But then there is a downside of not being able to get the candidates (tables and columns) suggested automatically as I see that is something you love 🙂
Also, if there is a pattern or steps that you figured out to replicate the resource hog issue please do let us know!
We are currently working on planning tasks for SQL Prompt v4.0. This is a major version but since we are on the primitive stages of planning our tasks I am not in a position to announce any of the features or changes at this point of time. We will keep our forums (accessible from Red Gate support page) updated with announcements relating to this.
Thank you for all your comments (good and bad) on SQL Prompt 😀
Regards,
Tanya
