Sneak peek: SQL Prompt 10 is being released soon!

Hi Friends! 

I’m excited to announce that SQL Prompt version 10 will be released next week! 

With new ranked suggestions, tab history improvements, and support for key features of SQL Server 2019, SQL Prompt 10 gives you the latest tools to develop faster, improve code quality, and boost team productivity. 

Here’s what’s new: 

Write faster with ranked suggestions 

SQL Prompt's advanced IntelliSense-style code completion just got even smarter. Ranked suggestions will give you the most likely suggestions first, using a combination of type of suggestion, how close the suggestion is to what you have typed, and what suggestions you've used recently. 

It’s even easier to find the tabs you need 

Tab history now groups queries by date to make it easier to scan and find the tabs you need. You can also bookmark your most-used tabs so you can navigate to them more easily. 

More auto-fixes to improve code quality quickly 

We’ve added even more auto-fixes to help you resolve code issues quickly, helping teams collaborate and making it even easier to review legacy code that needs bringing up to standard. 

SQL Server 2019 support 

The latest version of SQL Prompt supports key features introduced in the upcoming SQL Server 2019 so your team can keep up to date with current best practices. 

The new release hasn’t been announced yet – we’ll announce it officially next week, so watch this space! 

As always, we’d love to hear what you think about the release. For those of you already using SQL Prompt, please upgrade to the latest version when it is available. 

We look forward to hearing your thoughts.  

Thank you,   

Jess

    Jess,

    I have just upgraded to v10.0 but it says Unlicensed Trial.

    Resolved. I just needed to refresh the License in the Manage License option in SSMS ;-)

    Jess, 

    Did the licensing model for SqlPrompt (or maybe all RedGate tools) change somewhere along the way? 

    For a LONG time, I didn't need to 'paste' licenses into SqlPrompt when activating the license ... instead, I simply needed to 'log in' to my account and my license would be applied automagically in the background. 

    Strangely enough, it looks like installation of 10.x (and some subsequent updates/patches/etc.) appears to have done the following: 
    - lost/removed previous licensing details (not too terribly surprising - I've gone from v9 to v10)
    - changed the entire licensing model - i.e., wasn't prompted to log in - I was prompted to paste a license key. 

    Is this expected behavior?

    Hi @OverAchiever,

    Thanks for your message.

    This isn't expected behaviour, you should be able to just log in and be automatically licensed. 

    However, we have checked with the licensing team and there's a bug that causes the log-in-to-activate not to work for a major version for two weeks since the major version release.  That bug should only be an issue for the two week period after a major release. 

    Our team is working on a fix for this problem. In the meantime,     this issue should fix itself after the two-week period has passed. 

    Apologies for any inconvenience caused. 

    Best wishes,

    Roseanna

    Perfect - glad to hear.  (And no inconvenience, mostly just confused and/or wanted to make sure this wasn't some sort of bug/issue that Redgate wasn't somehow aware of. Sounds like everything is covered.) 

    Thanks a ton Roseanna!
