Total SQL Recall - A Recent Queries (SQL Execution History) SSMS Add-in
Total SQL Recall is an add-in that stores and displays your recently executed SQL, fully integrated with SSMS. It provides the same SQL recall functionality in SQL Server Management Studio that TOAD users have had for years. SQL fragments can be inserted into the current query editor, opened in a new window, or dragged / copied to another environment.
The add-in is displayed as a standard SSMS tool window, so can be docked, auto-hidden or floated as required. The window lists the recent queries, together with their date of execution. The size of the rows and columns can be modified, and if a query doesn't fit then a tooltip will display more details. A filter lets you search your stored SQL queries.
Options are available to start/stop query-storing (useful if you're running some huge scripts and don't want to store them), configure the number of queries stored and adjust how they appear. More advanced options can control the maximum length of query stored and the maximum size of tooltip displayed.
The simplest way to recover a piece of SQL is to double-click on it or drag it into the current query editor. The context menu offers more options including opening in a new window and copying to the clipboard. The context menu also provides access to the options screen and the start/stop feature.Total SQL Recall can be launched from the View menu - it will be the last item on the menu. The shortcut is Alt-V,O. If SSMS is running when you install Total SQL Recall then you'll have to restart it.
There are four install packages, depending on your O/S & version of SSMS:
It's vaguely possible that there might be a second version of the add-in with a second tab for permanently stored queries
