Option to not square bracket aliases
It would be nice to have an option to not but square brackets around aliases as it's our style to not do so. We find it makes the aliases unnecessarily long,since most of our aliases are 1 or 2 letters.
For example
SELECT
T.[TableId],
T.[Name]
FROM
[dbo].[MyTable] Tvs
SELECT
[T].[TableId],
[T].[Name]
FROM
[dbo].[MyTable] [T]Currently we have to go back and rename an alias to itself so that the square brackets go away.

column alias by column name
Feature to automatically add column alias with the name of the column.
E.g.:SELECT Column1
FROM Table1 AS t1changes to:
SELECT Column1 AS Column1
FROM Table1 AS t1If the name can not be found add a dummy-alias like Exp1

Formatting Styles - More granular control?
I realize my title is very vague.
Basically, I would like more control options over how styles are applied. Maybe I'm just really weird in how I format my SQL, but it seems like no matter how hard I try, I can never get the styles the way I want them.
I realize that it's impossible to make it perfect. But the basic idea is to get the formatter to do what you would normally do the majority of the time.
For example....the majority of the time, I prefer the following...
For JOIN clauses, all join criteria is in the…

Auto-generate MERGE comparison clauses
One of the most tedious elements of writing T-SQL is handling of proper comparisons in the WHEN MATCHED AND ... THEN UPDATE clause of a MERGE statement.
For example, to compare a single nullable target and destination column you should compare:SRC.column <> TGT.column
OR (SRC.column IS NULL AND TGT.column IS NOT NULL)
OR (SRC.column IS NOT NULL AND TGT.column IS NULL)I'm not sure on exactly how would be best to handle this but it would be great if SQL Prompt could somehow auto-populate these clauses. Or even better would be some way to generate an entire merge statement…

Parentheses positioning not honoured for all parentheses, eg constraints
Using the parentheses option "expanded, to statement" for DDL, I would expect a constraint to appear with the opening parenthesis under the start of the constraint (eg, the "f" in a foreign key constraint) as follows:
MyColumn int not null foreign key references SomeTable ( someColumn )But it actually appears at the end of the same line as the constraint, and the entire contents are indented from that position:
MyColumn int not null foreign key references SomeTable( someColulmn )4 votes -
Add "insert missing aliases" during formatting if desired
When typing SQL aliases are inserted automatically if configured. However when opening existing query from some other source it would be nice to execute an options to add missed aliases based on the same configured rules as with editing.

Suggestion for THIS site
This is a Format SQL request; not for SQL Prompt, but rather for this website. I don't know how many hundreds of examples have been posted where the author spent quite a bit of time formatting an example, only to have the posted code totally bastardized. Have at least a <code> tag that would present the content within the tag in a fixed-width font and not remove leading spaces. I've seen some posts where the poor soul has tried 2-3 times to get their poin t across only to have the presented code rendered in a way that completely loses…

CTE column list formatted like the columns in the AS list
The columns listed in the CTE are not formatted like the columns in the AS clause. On larger CTE's, the listed columns may be hundreds or characters long so we get

(Select a,

Autofix : SC002 – Script should end with empty line
SQL prompt currently removes the empty line at the bottom of a script, which then break rule SC002.
Can format include a setting to add a blank line at the bottom of a script, and also autofix sc002 issues.

Ability to integrate SQLPrompt Formatting with T4 Visual Studio
I use T4 to generate a significant amount of SQL code. It would be useful for purposes of readability especially, to be able to call the formatter from within a T4 build process.

Multiple format options for insert statements
Currently SQL Prompt only has one option for formatting insert statements which poses a problem for us with multi value set inserts.
Ideally we'd be able to select a formatting for a single value set insert and another format for a multi value set insert.
This would allow us to do something like this:
-- Single Value Set Insert
INSERT INTO TestTable (TestName,
~~~~TestValue,
~~~~TestDate)
VALUES (N'Something',
~~~~140,
~~~~'1/1/2019')-- Multi Value Set Insert
INSERT INTO TestTable (TestName, TestValue, TestDate)
VALUES (N'Something', 140, '1/1/1900'),
~~~~(N'SomethingElse', 150, '1/2/1900'),
~~~~(N'SomethingElse2', 160, '1/2/2000')The issue for us is that we have need of…

Alias on Synonym Name
Have auto alias base its output on the alias name instead of the name of the table it is pointing to.
Example: Alias "Transaction" pointing to "TransactionTableWithComplexName" should be "t" and not "ttwcn".

Automatically add DROP TABLE IF EXISTS for #temp tables
It would be nice if SQL Prompt had a way to add in the code DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #table for temp tables. Ideally it would add the statement immediately before the table is created from a CREATE TABLE or SELECT INTO statement.
