Refactor Select Into Statement as Create and Insert
I would like an efficient way to refactor this kind of statement...
SELECT ID, Name, Job INTO #Employee FROM Employees
into something like this-
CREATE TABLE #Employee (ID int, Name varchar(max), Job varchar(max))
INSERT INTO #Employee
SELECT ID, Name, Job
FROM EmployeesThe PE003 rule keeps triggering on these statements but it takes an annoyingly long time to write out the column definitions by hand for longer tables.

BIgger dropdown for the actions list
Selecting code then pressing CTRL brings up the action list, but only 6 items are shown in this list, meaning that for many uses, scrolling or searching (moving is required. A longer list (ideally user-settable) would mean moving mouse directly to most items and selecting is possible.

Send to Tab History
I would like a hot key combination to send the contents of my current tab to 'Tab History' without having to close the tab. There are times that I know I will need the contents of the tab in the near future (within a few hours/days) and I don't want to have to save a hard copy to my disk.

Make the Issues List more useful - Rule Disable, Specific Help, Hide Issue in List
The list is useful to drive code positioning, but that's all it does. Rules like ST011 that go against authoritative SQLPass presentations are noise. Yes, we can click the SQP Menu, nav to manage, scroll down, and finally disable, save, then refresh... (out of breath!). Just right-click and Disable rule, which also refreshes the list. That kind of useful RC-Menu. And instead of having to go to the Rule Maint to see exactly what the rule is enforcing, RC-menu has "Show Issue Help" in a bubble, built in. And for those cases where a rule isn't to be shut down,…

Aggrigate column name as
When writing SQL codes I frequently use aggregate functions such as Sum, count, avg etc.
When writing for exapmle sum(SalesVolume) it would be nice to have an autocomplete option to Sum(SalesVolume) As SalesVolume or Sum(SalesVolume) as SumSalesVolume.2 votes -
too much prompting for upgrades
I'm constantly opening new SSMS windows, closing new ones, opening new visual studio windows, etc, and every time I open a new window, I have to acknowledge the upgrade prompt because it covers important parts of the window (like the status bar). Even if I select "next month" or "skip this version" I have to do the same for every new window I open since new sessions don't check for this option on existing sessions. SQL prompt is constantly getting updates (almost weekly, it seems), so i just start a new round of "skip this version" the following week.

Temporarily Elevate Exact Matches Over Recently Used Suggestions
I like the new feature to put recently-selected items at the top of the list for Intellisense. However, when I have typed an exact match, I would like to see Intellisense elevate that exact object to the top of the list.
For example, suppose I have recently selected a table named "dbo.OrderDetail", and suppose that there is another table in the same database called dbo.Order. With the new feature, I cannot access "dbo.Order" as the top candidate, because it is a partial match of "dbo.OrderDetail," and so SQLPrompt puts that name at the top.
In a nutshell, I would like…

Copy grid result as json

- in grid result, select all or part cells.
- click right button, in context menu, exists a "Copy as json" item.
- click "Copy as json", in other place paste, get json texts.

conditions new line after
Currently we have a standard of placing new line before and after conditions with indent accordingly such that:
a=1
AND
b=2Current version only does:
a=1
AND b=2This is pretty much the only thing lacking from being able to just auto format all our procedures with a single click.

"Remove Square Brackets" option
The "Remove Square Brackets" option does not work for "CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE" statement.
Please try this option with the example below and nothing happens.

[AccountType] [nvarchar] (50) COLLATE NOT NULL,
[AccountCreatedDate] [datetime2] NOT NULL

compare datatypes in stored procedure calls with defined variables
When I call a stored procedure, I want SQL Prompt's code analysis rules to be able to tell me if the variables I am passing to the stored procedure are OK.
For example, if I pass a bigint variable to a SP that has a tinyint input parameter, I want SQL prompt to flag that as a potential issue.
Similarly, if I am passing a string variable defined locally as nvarchar(150) to a SP that takes only nvarchar(100), it should be flagged as an issue (because I am passing a string that may not "fit" into the input parameter).

Recently Used Suggestions
Love the Recently Used Suggestions feature. It's like it's reading my mind and is a definite time saver.

Suggestion for THIS site
This is a Format SQL request; not for SQL Prompt, but rather for this website. I don't know how many hundreds of examples have been posted where the author spent quite a bit of time formatting an example, only to have the posted code totally bastardized. Have at least a <code> tag that would present the content within the tag in a fixed-width font and not remove leading spaces. I've seen some posts where the poor soul has tried 2-3 times to get their poin t across only to have the presented code rendered in a way that completely loses…

Additional Formatting Options
These are the typical formatting styles I use that I would like to see definable in SQL Prompt. Currently, I use a style that gets me close then manually format the remainder to the code:
Regarding the desired format of
1) SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY all lined up
2) TAB after SELECT, followed by first 'column'
3) Subsequent columns on separate lines and lined up with the first one.
4) TAB after any CASE followed by first WHEN
5) Subsequent WHENs lined up with first one
6) TAB before THEN (i.e. indented one tab from…4 votes -
Tab History Add MRS
sometimes I need same string between different tabs in Tab History. each time I need to copy/paste the desired string. Would be nice if it would remember the most recent used searches same way as any Search box

Is there a way to run your code analysis rules against an existing database?
To help our developers we - as dba's - perform validation against their procedures and database code. The library of rules that is incorporated in SQLPrompt could be a good rule of thumb for the basic stuff of reviewing, so that we can focus on other stuff when validating.
Is it possible to run the rules "engine" of SQLPrompt against an existing database without having to open the code manually?3 votes -
Shortcut to move commas from start to end and vice versa.
I would like to only affect the placement of commas in a column list, without applying other formatting options. This would work similar to Ctrl-B, Ctrl-B to remove brackets or Ctrl-B, C to insert semicolons, in that no other formatting would take place.
There are times I have a rather well-formatted script but it has been written with commas at the start of the line and I prefer them at the end. A new shortcut would toggle placing commas at the start or end of the line without affecting other formatting within the script.

insert default default values should just use SQL Server defaults
When the option to insert a values clause with default values for an INSERT statement is in force, the default values used by SQL prompt ignore nulls. e..g if your table is CREATE TABLE foo (bar int NULL) and you let SQL Prompt build an INSERT with default values, it uses 0 as the default for column bar. This is wrong. The true default is NULL. It would be better if SQL Prompt just used a value clause like :
VALUES (DEFAULT)
and let SQL Server figure out the default. Worse yet, check out this table and the generated code:
