  1. Add $PASTE$ to paste current clipboard text into a snippet

    It would be useful to write a snippet that you could paste the contents of the clipboard into. The contents might contain the name of an object (table, view) that needs to be entered based on the context.

    • Don't expand wildcard within EXISTS

      Don't expand wildcard occurrences within EXISTS clause.
      WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM tab1)
      should not expand to
      WHERE EXISTS(SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM tab1)

      • Enhance tab to expand wildcards when using aliased tables

        Further to the idea presented here http://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/94413-sql-prompt-feature-suggestions/suggestions/1712871-enhance-press-tab-to-expand

        I would like to see a further enhancement

        If I have a query such as

        select *
        from table t1
        join table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id

        and I tab-expand the *, then the columns will be prefixed with the alias name, however if I have limited the query to

        select t2.*
        from table t1
        join table2 t2 on t1.id = t2.id

        and tab-expand, then SQL Prompt doesn't use the alias, it uses the tablename. I want to see the alias.
