Outlining
Would be great to be able to add user specific outlining, so that you could add + & - where ever you choose in a sql script to collapse down certain parts. The CRM system that I support has a create contact table import with 200 columns which is regularly used and this functionality would be great when having to resort to using this import etc...

Automatically create variables for use with generating full INSERT statements
Currently the behavior for inserting a full INSERT statement is that it produces something like this:
INSERT INTO dbo.ContactPictures
( InterActionPersonalContactID ,
InterActionFirmContactID ,
ImageFileStoreFilePathSegment ,
Source ,
ManuallyCreatedByUserAccountName ,
DateTimeLastUpdated
)
VALUES ( 0 , -- InterActionPersonalContactID - int
0 , -- InterActionFirmContactID - int
'' , -- ImageFileStoreFilePathSegment - varchar(256)
'' , -- Source - varchar(20)
N'' , -- ManuallyCreatedByUserAccountName - nvarchar(40)
GETDATE() -- DateTimeLastUpdated - datetime
)Hard-coded values are rarely what's needed, though; it would be very useful if it could generate variables and use them in the statement, like this:
DECLARE @InterActionPersonalContactID INT = 0…

Conditionally place ON keyword on new line if exceeds specified wrap margin
My default preference is to maintain the ON keyword without a new line. I would like to be able to CONDITIONALLY place the ON keyword on a new line if, and only if the ON keyword together with the associated ON condition exceed a configurable wrap threshold.
Example:
-- Yield this >>>>
SELECT *
FROM Person.Address
INNER JOIN Person.StateProvince
ON StateProvince.StateProvinceID=Address.StateProvinceID
-- >>>> instead ofSELECT *
FROM Person.Address
INNER JOIN Person.StateProvince ON StateProvince.StateProvinceID=Address.StateProvinceID
-- Assuming the JOIN clause exceeds the wrap length
-- <<<This is particularly useful if the "Place JOIN table on new line" is NOT selected…

Ending Subquery parenthesis aligned to opening parenthesis - option please
Similar to the CTE request https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/94413-sql-prompt/suggestions/19545028-format-cte-closing-parenthesis
Aligning the closing parenthesis on its own line, in the same column as the opening paren, makes the subquery stand out, as well as making the alias stand out.

Arithmetic expressions - format consistently with logical expressions
Arithmetical expressions and compound logical expressions all consist of operations and expressions with parentheses and orders of precedence. All of these should have the options for aligning operands, aligning parentheses, adding parentheses to make the default orders of precedence explicit. All expressions are subordinate to clauses so they should be indented under WHERE, ON, SELECT, WHEN.

IN clause - indent according to parenthesis rules according to the expression they are in
It would be nice if the IN clause were formatted like a logical function that returns a value so that it followed the options and rules for parentheses and were indented according to its place in the logical expression. (paying attention to the ANDs and ORs if present)

Trimming trailing spaces in comments
It would be cool if SQL Prompt was able to remove trailing whitespaces/tabs not only for T-SQL, but also for comments.
It's not something crucial, but rather nice-to-have

semi colon placed on new line if statement is on more than one line
Add option to leave semicolon on same line if statement only use one line.
My idea is an additional to the idea captured in the "semi colon placed on new line" request.
It would be nice to have checkbox for the semicolon-on-new-line option to not move the semicolon to a new line if the statement is ONLY one line.
For example:
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dbo.Table
;
should be
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dbo.Table;
instead, but
SELECT TOP 10 *
FROM dbo.Table
;
will remain unchanged by formatting.9 votes -
Preserve indentation of multiple-line comment blocks
In SQL Prompt 8, multiple-line comment blocks (surrounded by /* */) are automatically indented to the SQL code surrounding them when formatting.
Can you please add an option to preserve the indentation of these blocks? My team keeps most comment blocks left-aligned for consistency and readability, but SQL Prompt will automatically move them when formatting.
This was not an issue in SQL Prompt 7, so all of our comment blocks are now moving when upgrading to SQL Prompt 8 and there is no option to preserve them. Thank you.

Empty Line Before and After Multi-Line Statements
Complex multi-line statements are much easier to read when separated by an empty line above and below them. Please add an option to turn on "Empty Line Above/Below Multi-Line Statements".

- Place closing parenthesis on new line

Align ON in JOIN Statements
I really like the latest formatting flavours. Aligning the equivalency symbols in joins is nice, but could I also align the ON keyword? Or pick which one I want to align on.
SELECT *
FROM table1 a
JOIN Table2 b__ON a.foo = b.foo
JOIN Tab3 c___ ON b.fa__= c.fa20 votes -
Format dynamic SQL
We use a lot of dynamic SQL. I'd like to be able to format dynamic SQL that is in a string, eg. and NVARCHAR. e.g.
Input: DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR = '
SELECT foo from bar where foobar = ''foobarred''
'I'd like to be able to highlight the text inside the NVARCHAR for formatting. SQL Prompt would need to handle doubled quotation marks as in my example above.

Align equals sign in UPDATE
Provide an option in Styles to let the right hand side of clauses in UPDATE statement be aligned.

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 -
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.

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,…29 votes
