Hello, Thank you for your inquiry into SQL Prompt, we are sorry to hear it is giving you trouble. Would you be able to upgrade to SQL Prompt 10.12.3? There have been some SSMS performance fixes that targeted snippets that may help with the slowness/lag. Best, Dustin
Thank you for your suggestion! It works! / comments

Between my last post on this thread (Feb 22) and now I had a support ticket open with Red Gate. The support people learned that an issue exists in 10.6+ if your snippets reside on a network share or UNC path with high latency between your computer and the network location (think working from home via VPN). If you set your snippets folder to a local path on your computer like C:\MyFolder\RedGateSnippets then there is no issue with performance. To @ogrishman's point, I have observed the conversion of snippets from XML to JSON and their software creates a backup for you in the Snippet path so your "old format" XML snippets should be in a subfolder called "backup" of your snippet folder's path but as always it is best to create your own backup. Quote from my support ticket... "I have spoken with our dev team about this. You have clearly highlighted a need for improvements around the performance of SQL Prompt v6 when referencing network shares, however unfortunately, given current workloads and overall impact of this issue, at this stage we cannot say when we will be able to address this. For the time being, as a workaround we suggest using a local folder for your snippets instead of a network drive with high latency when working from home over a VPN. Alternatively you could continue to use SQL Prompt 10.5 for now."
I'm using the default snippet location and have the performance issue. In your case if you use a local folder as the snippets folder, do you have the performance issue? / comments

They came out with 10.6.2. There are still problems. I am unable to type anything with suggestions enabled. I could have 2 lines of SQL code typed on the keyboard before the screen finishes typing out the word "Select". I am on SSMS 18.8 on a Win 10 HP ZBook laptop with 32 GB of RAM. I reverted to 10.5 using the link posted in the thread above.
I tried the most recently version SQLPrompt_10.6.7.19129 as of today, but the issue still exists. SQLPrompt_10.5.6.17542 works fine here. Also note that SQLPrompt_10.5.6.17542 uses the old syntax of snippets and later versions use the new syntax and your snippets will automatically be converted to the new syntax. In that case, if you want to rollback, there is no easy way to convert the snippets to the old format. So keep a copy of your snippets before upgrade. / comments
