[Feature Request]: Add Query Execution History Panel

[nayar-900]

Feature Description

I would like the MSSQL extension to provide a Query Execution History panel that stores previously executed SQL queries within a workspace.

This would help me because currently I often lose track of queries I have run in different tabs or sessions, especially when working on multiple databases or complex debugging tasks.

Having a history view would allow me to quickly revisit, reuse, or compare past queries without manually copying them or searching through editor tabs.

Problem and Motivation

Currently, I'm unable to easily track or revisit previously executed SQL queries after running them in different editor tabs or sessions.

This causes me to repeatedly rewrite or search for queries, which slows down debugging and development.

With this feature, I could quickly access a history of executed queries and improve productivity when working with multiple database connections or long query sessions.

@nayar-900 Thanks for the feedback! Have you used the Query History panel that's underneath the Connection list?

It doesn't organize query history by workspace, but may meet your needs. If you've tried it out already, what new features would you like to see there?

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of the existing Query History panel when I created the feature request. After reviewing it, I think the current Query History feature is useful, but I was mainly thinking about a few additional capabilities: - Organizing query history by workspace/project. - Search and filtering within query history. - Pinning or favoriting frequently used queries. - Grouping queries by connection/database. - Exporting query history for documentation or auditing purposes. - Optional query tags or notes for easier reuse. My motivation was to make it easier to manage large amounts of query history across multiple projects and databases. If some of these capabilities are already planned, I'd be happy to support those efforts instead.
