Create new Setting to only enclose SQL Keywords in square brackets
I don't want to use brackets for my code (unless I have to). So, for example, dbo.Orders is fine, but dbo.Order isn't. It would be nice if SQL prompt caught this and automatically enclosed the SQL Keyword "Order" in square brackets (i.e. dbo.[Order] AS o)

Comment Word Wrap
Hi!
I would be nice to have the option to enable word wrap for the comments as well.
The number of maximum characters for the comment should be aligned with "Wrap lines longer than" for SQL statements.19 votes -
Bookmarks
Bookmarks is a feature of SSMS. But all my bookmarks are destroyed once the code is formatted. So, as SSMS' feature is not so good as I want I do suggest to implement this feature by RedGate.

export to excel options
Hi - export to excel is a great feature. if it could be extended in 2 ways it would be even better.
copy the sql used to produce the results (and date, server info) into a separate tab called 'sql' or something. this way data extracts will be 'auditable' and re-runnable.
have some export options (top row = bold, highlighted, freeze top row). column autowidths applied.
the second one can be done with a macro in the excel template but would be a nice to have.

Export all results to Excel, not just a single table
It would be awesome if the Results tab could be right-clicked (when results are in a grid), and then have an option to export all tables to Excel, with each table being in a new tab. Currently I can only export one table of results at a time to Excel, and if I need to do multiple tables then multiple sheets are opened.

End column guide lines
I think SSMSBoost has this feature: being able to add configurable guide lines to limit the query writing space to a specified number of characters/columns. This is very handy as I always want to keep my code narrow, within the 80-char limit. Currently, I have to install SSMSBoost for it... Could this please be added to SQL Prompt? This is probably a quick feature to implement and would be tremendously useful. Thanks.

Multiple rows of tabs
If I have more open tabs than can horizontally fit the window SSMS does not show all of them but instead there is a dropdown in the right upper corner. I would prefer if I could have multiple rows of tabs instead, like in VS. Since it does not seem likely that MS is going to implement that soon, can it be done in SQL prompt?

Ability to generate SELECT test script from an UPDATE statement
When debugging an UPDATE statement, it would be handy if SQL Prompt could generate a test Select script that converts
UPDATE xxxxxx
SET SalesPeriod = dddddd,
SalesYear = yyyy,
CustomerCode = zzzzz
...into
SELECT dddddd as SalesPeriod,
yyyy as SalesYear,
zzzzz as CustomerCode
....Optionally, could include all columns involved in joins or WHERE clauses

Execute current statment
Shift-F5 is great but I think this change could make it better.
Before I discovered Shift-F5 and when I had multiple sql statements in my window, I would select the block of sql I wanted and hit F5 to just execute that code block. Then I discovered Shift-F5 and I no longer had to select my sql block it was done for me - but what it doesn't do is actually select the code block, instead it just highlights it in green and executes it. So if you just do an F5 (out of habit) after a Shift-F5 it won't…9 votes -
Keep pinned status
In SSMS 2016 you can now Pin tabs. When you close and re-open SSMS, it would be good if Tab History could remember, and restore, the pin status for each of the tabs as they are being restored.

Sum selected columns
It would be nice to have some capabilities that exist in Excel 2013. Specifically the feature when you can highlight a column and then at the bottom of the application it gives you some quick statistics for the column. So if I had a column of numbers, and I highlighted the column in the results pane it would give me the Average of the numbers in that column and the sum of the numbers in the column. If the column was text you could see the count of distinct values in that column. This just gives quick access to statistical…

Prefered server Connection List
When working all day long with serveral SQL servers, its really annoying to click on "change connection" button + enter the server name you want to connect to, and enter credential.... It would be really great we we would have a "server connection list" where we could build into settings.... So i could add all my server i'm use to connect everyday, and specifying the USERNAME + PASSWORD + Default DB..... So in one-two click, i could switch to another server really quicly

Add the command "USE [DatabaseName]" at the top of the script, when using the 'Script Object as Alter F12' feature.
Hi,
I really love the feature to just press F12 on SP and SQLPrompt opens a new query window with an alter script. It improves the productivity and it's a way easier then scrolling or filtering in the object explorer or using the tool tip by copy & paste the definition.Do you know if there is any possibility to add the command "USE [DatabaseName]" at the top of the script. So, in case I need to switch my connection to a different server I don't need to select my database from the available database list drop down in SSMS.

Show SELECT INTO within the Summarize Script pane
Within the Summarize Script pane, it would be helpful to differentiate between a SELECT statement (which returns output to the user) and a SELECT INTO statement (which creates a table and loads data into it).

Add additional option for "remove unnecessary brackets" which would keep brackets around syntax highlighted words. "Status", "Type",etc.",
Add additional option for "remove unnecessary brackets" which would keep brackets around syntax highlighted words.
"Status", "description", and "Type" are examples of special words that are syntax highlighted, but they aren't full reserved keywords, so would want the brackets kept.How to configure and prevent SQL Prompt from removing brackets around Syntax highlighted words?
We only have the following settings:
a) Options > Inserted Code > Special Characters > Brackets > Enclose identifiers within square brackets [] = NO (which is our desire)
b) Options > Format > Styles > Actions > run format > Add/remove square brackets = YES,…31 votes -
MS_Description supporting hyperlink when SQL Prompt is showing the tooltip
I'm currently working on a database with some really complex calculations which are saved then in a table. Putting these formula in the MSDescription is a pain as it cannot be shown correctly in the appearing tooltip text.
A nice Feature would be that I'm able to add a Hyperlink in the MSDescription which is pointing to the document in our SharePoint Server (or Wiki or whereever...).
Or - if this is not working, would it be possible to define a Special RedGate Attribute/Property (e.g. MSDescriptionRedGate) below the MSDescription which is containing a hyperllink and this…4 votes -

Auto generate parameters based on a scan of a query
I tend to debug SSRS queries/scripts quite a lot in SSMS. Usually these queries contain 1-10 parameters. It would save large amounts of time if I can paste the query into SSMS and run some SQL Prompt command to auto generate at the top of the query all the parameter declarations ready for default values.

Tab colouring - Job Specific
The Tab Colouring system is brilliant, but I find that I am often working with more than one job at a time that are using the one Database. It would be of great benefit if I was able to Colour my Query Tabs based on which job they are for. i.e.: more than one colour available per Database.
