Autocomplete for SQL
I use LINQPad as a replacement for SMSS and would LOVE the Autocomplete to work for SQL (e.g. type "SELECT Orders." and upon typing the "." character all of the fields of Orders should up in intellisense).

This would be a cool feature, and now that I think about it, basic features would likely not be terribly difficult to implement. Perhaps some very autocomplete could be added, such as auto-complete of column and table names for the most popular DBMS systems, but full-on autocompletion like an IDE does for C# would be too much for a small, lean project like LINQPad.

In my opinion, this is a bit of an unrealistic ask. If TSQL could have that feature, microsoft would have done it already, and they wouldn't have invent Linq queries.
This is because when you need to re-engineer or write a subset of the Tsql language. That is what the linq queries are designed to overcome the shortcomings of TSQL structure queries. -

Really needs this feature to be added.

I can't believe this still isn't an option.

Having switched from writing a lot of C# and testing out pieces of code, to writing massive amounts of SQL, I believe this would be the addon that takes the cake and makes LINQPad an unstoppable force in my toolbox.

+1 I thought it would have this feature as well. I bought the license since my friend spoke so highly of it. Still a great product but AutoComplete/Intellisense for SQL is a must IMO.

Having just bought this, the lack of auto completion is a major Bubu! Will look for a refund.
I see people have been asking for this feature since 2011

+1 I'm having a hard time purchasing another premium license without this feature included.

+1 to this. I feel like at this point one of the biggest selling points relative to Roslynpad is DB connectivity, and autocompletion in SQL would really help justify the cost of the paid versions. It would make it much easier to use linqpad as a scratchpad for both linq and sql, as sometimes I want actual SQL snippets to save as scripts, procedures, etc.

We were just about to buy an Enterprise license for this until I noticed that SQL autocomplete isn't available. We were hoping to use this instead of SSMS for our data teams, but autocomplete is too important to leave behind.

Just bought expecting sql autocomplete to be available.
Sorely disappointed it is not so...
Will probably request a refund.

I would suggest to allow for DevArt's SQL Complete or a competing project being used. Those users that want the feature could then buy the additional license and be happy.

Another yes vote.

I would love this to become a feature

Bryan Roth commented
This would be so helpful as I would like to use LINQPad more than SSMS.

Strongly agree this idea. I intended to buy but decided to stop when it does not support SQL autocomplete.

I strongly Agree

Oh I am begging you. Please add this. I find it the biggest minus and believe me I loooooove LinqPad. Yes Linq is wonderful and all but SQL is still and will continue to be needed. This feature would make many users' life so much easier. To be honest when I was thinking of purchasing this fact almost made me not to (still very happy I did purchase the full version).
