  1. You should fix the use of multiple versions of your name (Red Gate | Red-Gate | Redgate | redgate | red-gate) across all software and communications. See attached picture.

    We try to promote your products in our consulting company, but everyone uses a different name to refer to your company.

  3. SQL Prompt should allow block comments /* SQL Prompt formatting off */ to disable T-SQL formatting.

    Single line comments are a pain when tuning queries. I would always use block comments in my code except when I don't want SQL Prompt to not mess with certain T-SQL it does not format to my standards.

    Blocking formatting should support both type of comments.
    /* SQL Prompt formatting off */
    -- SQL Prompt formatting off

  4. I see that Azure data studio support is on the roadmap, but cannot see any reference to the MacOS / Linux versions of Azure data studio?
    Would be great to not have to boot up Windows to get to the awesome speed and power which SQL Prompt provides.

  5. Currently there is no way to tell Code Analysis to ignore this specific object for a specific rule which has led to several false positives and wasted time re-investigating how to address the issue in the object only to come to the same conclusion as before that this is one of the rare cases where breaking that rule is ok.

    My example is we have one stored procedure out of a thousand where the use of a NVARCHAR(2) makes sense and is actually more efficient then switching to a NCHAR(2) for what the code needs to do. Unfortunately the procedure…

  7. "Script as INSERT" creates an INSERT script with a tempt table, but instead it should script the current used table.
    In that way you can easily write scripts to synchronize your data between different environments.

    I perform an update on a column of varchar(10), it should suggest that there will be a truncation

  11. When using a BEGIN/END block, the "Insert Semicolons" feature adds a semicolon after "END" command, but not after the "BEGIN" command.

    One reason why this should be done, is the use of the THROW statement, which requires the previous statement to be terminated with a semicolon.

    Technically it is still runnable code, but, SSMS (as of version 18.8) sees it as a syntax error (see screenshot).

    I don't know which is the appropriate fix...waiting for SSMS to fix the syntax error it shows (but I doubt they will since the non-use of semicolons is deprecated), or if it's appropriate for…

  12. Aligning based on column-alias makes for much better readability. When turned OFF, because some long-named table's alias pushes the TABLE-alias way to the right, all other table aliases follow it...into the NON-VISIBLE area (when using multiple vertical tabs).

    Please SEPARATE these into TWO options:
    . Align Column Aliases - on/off
    . Align Table Aliases - on/off

    THERE IS A BUG TO FIX HERE TOO: If a UDF is bounded by "--SQL Prompt formatting off/on" the TABLE ALIAS position REMAINS as if the UDF's alias was in it's SQL Prompt position, NOT where the excluded code has it! NASTY.

    You could…

  13. We cannot treat UDF parameter listing/indentation in similar vein to Stored Procedure call formatting. All "Functions", be they UDF or built-in, are lumped into the same four RESTRICTIVE options on the "Function calls" page, and we have no "parentheses style" options for them.

    We need:
    1. Separation by type (UDF vs. Built-in).
    2. Global ==> Parentheses, to apply to UDFs, by our choice.

    Thanks.

  14. Have the ability to delete duplicate scripts in the Tab History. Example I may open a stored procedure to look at it or modify then close and then it is stored in the Tab History as Closed. But then in a few days or so I open the same store procedure and do the same thing it is now in the Tab History also. I have made no changes to either day it is open then closed but, it's in the Tab History twice. Now think about this over a few months. That Tab History grows with duplicate scripts.

  15. It would be very handy if there was a way when you open a server in Object Explorer that it pops up with notes about that server. For instance, there is a job we have on EVERY server in our environment except one random server that no one hardly thinks about. But if that job is there, then it messes up things. It would be great if when anyone on our team who has redgate sql prompt opens that server they get a reminder that we add on there that says some special note (in this case “DO NOT ADD…

  16. Currently SQL Prompt displays suggestions for auto-completing literal strings. These are never valid suggestions so can this be turned off (or at least have an option to turn this off)?

  17. Please could you add an option to check for invalid objects in multiple databases and to be able to export the results in either a single file or 1 per database. It's a real pain doing 1 at a time and manually selecting the results to do a copy/paste.

  18. Have Formal SQL Actions be included in the formatting style file. This way when a team shared a standard we do not have to share the file and screen shots of the Options menu to manually sync to maintain team consistency on code checkin.

  19. Hi, this is not related to SQL Prompt only, but to the update process in general.
    As our company firewall is blocking the link in Help "Check for updates ...", I have to submit the "Download a 28 days trial" form and download the full "SQLToolbelt.exe".
    Which is also blocked by the company proxy rules. :-(
    So I have to download the file on my private PC and then copy it to my business machine.
    I assume, my company is not the only one with such precautionary measures.
    Maybe you can implement additional options to download updates.

  20. Please can the "Add quotes and commas" action conform to the current active style's Commas setting?

    So if the setting is "Place commas before items", then the action should also place the commas before.

    At the moment, I have to run a Format SQL action after using Add quotes and commas, which is cumbersome.
