Any ideas?


Hello Kevin,
You are the first one to report this. It would be nice, if you could detect some system in such behavior. Does it happen after some kind of crash ? Or it happens after regular SSMS shutdown/restart ?
Check also, that you have latest build of SSMS version, and please tell, which SSMS version do you use (2008-2016).
Please send further information to support@ e-mail.
Thank you !

Feature request: Mark tabs with open transactions

$
0
0
Would it be possible to mark an tab that has a open (not commited / rolled back) transaction e.g. by changing the title, showing an Icon or using a red/yellow blinking background color (no, not really BigGrin) ?

Reason one:
A few days ago I tested some stuff to simulate blocking situations and executed an explicit BEGIN TRANSACTION. Somehow I forgot to COMMIT it after I was done with my tests (which was no problem, since I touched not really something). Some hours later I wanted to test a really big procedure (~2-3 hours runtime) and reused the window with the still open transaction (just deleted the old code without reading it again), which results in much locks on many tables (only on a test-copy of the database) and a full transaction log file on the TempDB (never tought, that this could be possible) which made the whole server unusable.

To make it worser I started the master.dbo.sp_WhoIsActive procedure (by Adam Machanic) in the same SSMS window (the big procedure was done) as soon I saw the TempDB-Transaction-Log mails flooding my inbox, but sp_WhoIsActive did not come back (I guess because of the TempDB). So I did the next mistake and pressed the Stop button, which resulted in a 1-hour-rollback of the whole big procedure...

Reason two:
Sometimes I execute a BEGIN TRANSACTION, run a few other commands that would be executed successfull, until I run onto an error and the whole transaction was rolled back (of course not for every error and of course without telling me something about the silent rollback). This could be ok, but when it is an uncritical error, which I want to ignore, so I run some more commands, believing, that I'm still in my explicit transaction and could roll back everything -> data garbage that could not be rolled back...

Solution:

  • use the existing Post-Execution trigger to check, if the current session has still an open transaction
  • if no remove the open-transaction-hint and exit procedure. The hint could be visible at this time e.g. because the last executed command was the COMMIT
  • if yes, show it
  • enable a timer that checks regularly (e.g. once per minute), if the transaction is still open, remove the hint if not. Necessary, since someone could have killed the session, the PC could have been in standby, the server could have crashed ...
  • when I change the server (by using your connection combobox or the SSMS alter connection button) or disconnect the session, remove the hint


PS: to solve the TempDB problem I executed an ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE command (the SSMS-GUI could not be used, since it uses the TempDB too).

Feature Request: Fixed search by key in Object Explorer

This annoys me for years now: It is impossible to search by key in most lists of the Object Explorer, because most objects starts with "dbo.". Can you change the key search to ignore the prefix?

Sincerely,

Hi,
In the latest release 3.0.6282.18572 item Recent -> "Pick recent state" disappeared. It was really useful. What is the point now of "Save current state" ?

Feature Request: Fixed search by key in Object Explorer

$

Given a long list of tables in a DB in the SSMS Object Explorer:

dbo.a
dbo.b
dbo.c
...
dbo.z

Key search, e.g. press "z" to get focus on dbo.z doesn't work here, because the search considers the first letter of the prefix, not the one of the table name. I always end up scrolling the list with the mouse to get to the table I want. Doesn't sound like big problem, but when you work a lot with SSMS like me, you learn to appreciate every saved second :)

Hello!
I've installed latest beta on ssms 2016, running on windows 10
I've found that the SSMS caption functionnality is not fully working:
* It changes the caption of the thmbnails that appear on Windows 10 task bar
* It does not change the caption of the ssms window itself.

Additionnaly, ssms 2016 now shows the solution name in the window caption - but not in the thumbnail appearing in the taskbar. However ssmsboost does not prove a macro to include the solution name in the ssms caption. Could that be added in the next release?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot people,


Here is extract from changelog:
UPGRADES from previous versions:
"In case windows will ask you for .msi of the previous version and you do not have
one, you can download it under this URL:
http://www.ssmsboost.com...chive/SSMSBoostInstaller{version}.msi
Just replace {version} with version number, your system is asking you for.“

Thanks for the update! I know you guys are working hard on this for sure, it is a pain for some of us to reinstall every "x" amount of days because of group policies that are enforced. Until then, I will keep our IT techs busy once in a while LOL ... Thank you again for the update!

Update ... I solved the problem.

I clicked on the SSMS "Window" menu and clicked the "Reset Window Layout" menu item.
Once that was done, the Script Grid Data window displayed as expected.

Okay, I love that this is an option at all, been wanting it for years. The ability to look at my queries and see what I got back - AWE.SOME.

Alas, right now SP_WHOISACTIVE doesn't work. All that's saved are the standard warnings:

Hi all

I noticed that the option to change the Icon order in the menu is not saving.

Repro Steps:
  • Open SSMS
  • in SSMS Boost Menu:
    • Add Or Remove Buttons
    • Customize
    • Navigate to the Workspaces Button and klick the "Move Up" Button, until "Workspaces" is on top
    • Klick Close


--> The Workspaces Button is at a place more reachable for me

After closing SSMS and / or open a new SSMS Session shows the default menu structure.

Hope this helps otherwise I'll try to clarify (and sorry for the bad english...)

Regards
Jimmy
