  1. 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)

  2. 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.

  4. Template based formatting.
    Select your text and right click, format according to template... then select the appropriate template of your choice.

  5. Add the ability to exclude columns from appearing in the auto-generated INSERT statements. I have to manually remove certain columns every time.

  6. I align aliases, commas, datatypes and expressions at the first tab stop following the longest element in the list. See examples below:

    -- Tilde character used as space replacement to cope with HTML formatting
    -- 2-character tabs are assumed below
    -- In a fixed-space font, the commas, = signs, data types and AS keywords would all line up vertically
    DECLARE
    ~~@x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~INT~~~~~~~~~,
    ~~@var~~~~~~~~~~~~VARCHAR(4)~~,
    ~~@longer_varname~VARCHAR(10)~,
    ~~@z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DATETIME~~~~;

    SELECT
    ~~~~@longer_varname~=~'x'~~~~~~~,
    ~~~~@var~~~~~~~~~~~~=~'1234'~~~~,
    ~~~~@z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=~GETDATE()~;

    SELECT
    ~~~~T1.shortfield~~~~~~~~AS~ShortField~,
    ~~~~AO.really
    longfield~~AS~LongField~~,
    ~~~~'x'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AS~XChar~~~~~~,
    ~~FROM~~~~~~~~dbo.table1~~~~~~AS~T1
    ~~~~LEFT~JOIN~dbo.another
    one~AS~AO~ON~T1.keyval~=~AO.keyval;

    EXEC~@x~=~dbo.SomeProc
    ~~@Param1~=~'3'~~~~~~~~~~~,
    ~~@P2~~~~~=~'Longer~Text'~,
    ~~@P3~~~~~=~4~~~~~~~~~~~~~;

  7. I would be nice if SQL-prompt could warn against posible data truncation.
    Like assigning a int value to a tinyint field/variable or assigning a varchar(30) to a varchar(3).
    I want it both at an global analysis (like find invalid objects) and in the current scrip edit (while modifying a trigger / procedure / function).

  9. When collapsing CASE expressions shorter then XXX, the END has no space if there is a preceding parenthesis.

    Example1 = CASE t1.Col004 WHEN 1 THEN t1.Col006 END,
    Example1 = CASE t1.Col004 WHEN 1 THEN TRY_CONVERT(int, t1.Col006)END,
