Incorrect capitalization of system functions
The SQL Prompt formatter incorrectly tries to capitalize (whether automatically while I type or using the formatter) system functions that are missing a database prefix. For example, SQL Prompt doesn't try to capitalize:
sys.fn_listextendedproperty
but it WILL capitalize
fn_listextendedproperty
as soon as I hit space, regardless of the CASE setting in SQL Prompt's options. Obvious, a capitalized FN_LISTEXTENDEDPROPERTY does not work: the function is case-sensitive.
There does not appear to be a way around this, not even by setting Format -> Styles -> Case -> Buit-in functions to "Leave as is". That only resolves the problem for the manual formatter:…

Option to unformat onto a single line
Often when I'm debugging code that dynamically generates SQL, I hit a breakpoint, then copy the code into an SSMS query window. All the code is typically in a single long line. I can then use SQLPrompt to format the code to read it, and potentially change it to correct errors. However, what I then often want to do is to paste the changed code back into the variable (or whatever). I'd love to be able to have an option to format the code all into a single line.

Unformat SQL
It would great if there was an un-format SQL command, which would basically un-format the SQL by removing all the carriage returns, tabs, extra spaces, etc. I know it seems odd, but we have several applications that use the SQL via external files, so the formatting will not work, and we end up manually removing all the formatting.

Change formatting of IF statements.
When an IF is short and does not have a BEGIN END on it, have it format to a single line.
Right now if you have
IF @Parameter1 = 0
RETURN -1
IF @Parameter2 = 0
RETURN -2I would like it to be:
IF @Parameter1 = 0 RETURN -1
IF @Parameter2 = 0 RETURN -2which would make it more compact.

Ability to quickly switch SQL formatting styles.
We need the ability to quickly switch between T-SQL Formatting styles.
I work on a team where everyone likes code formatted differently. Also, we're required to use a specific format before checking SQL Code into TFS. I need a quick way to switch between styles so I can code in a format I like and then switch to our standard before check-in. Toad already offers this.
8 votesVersion 8.0 of SQL Prompt allows you to quickly switch between formatting styles by clicking SQL Prompt → Active Style → (the style you’d like).

Ability to "automatically" remove comments from a section of code.
I really like how SQLPrompt assists with Insert Statements. However, I am then left with a large list of comments which I'm not allowed to check into source control. Therefore, I have to manually delete each line of comments.
Example:
Insert into Blah blah..VALUES ('', -- fenumber - char(3)
'', -- finumber - char(3)
'', -- fpartno - char(25) )When I enter the values, I want to be able to auto-eliminate the comments.

Automatic semicolons
Include an option when reformatting SQL to automatically add semicolons at the end of each statement if they are missing.
While in most cases SQL Server 2005 and 2008 don't require this, the 2008 docs mention that a future version might.
and it may also be helpful if trying to move code from SQL Server 200x to a dialect which does require them.85 votesThis is included in SQL Prompt 6.4, which you can download from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/

SQL PROMPT 5 - Simple, but toggle indenting of else if statements
Allow the option to NOT indent else if statements. Each of the ELSE IF statements gets further indented and for large SQL it becomes indented off the screen. I can imagine this pattern could apply else where but for this specific use case our STPs that have this condition i simply can't format the sql because it requires me to horizontally scroll. Allowing me to disable indenting ELSE IF statements would solve this problem instantly.

Option to place Table names on the same line as the keyword
Currently, no matter what settings are applied, table names are always placed on a new line, for example:
SELECT
ID,
ThingFROM
TableNameJOIN
OtherTableName
ON blah=mooWHERE
something <> something elseMy personal preference is for:
SELECT
ID,
ThingFROM TableName
JOIN OtherTableName
ON blah=mooWHERE something <> something else
Please can we have an option to achieve table names on the same line as their action (FROM / JOIN)

"commarise"
When copying a list of items from something like Excel, it would be lovely to have a feature in Prompt which would highlight the list, hit a key stroke and it would place quotes around each item and a comma after them.
It would stop me bashing the quote + arrow + comma keys at the speed of light.
