  1. I'd like a NuGet lib to be able to apply SQL Prompt styles to a folder of .sql files or a StreamReader string. I have a console app I'm using to produce a lot of Sql Files and I'd like to create a "everything on one-line" style that I use internally when processing things. There could be tons of other uses as well.

  2. In SQL Prompt, Formatting Styles, I would like to differentiate the “Short parentheses contents” behavior, so it didn’t impact the primary key when I add a Constraint Primary Key Clustered at Create Table time.
    I like my PK fields to stand out, not hide in a block of text.
    But I also like any other listing of a few fields to be kept on a single line, and not bloating the screen for no reason at all.
    Currently, I can’t have both.

    In short, I want

    CREATE TABLE dbo.Orders
    (
    OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL,
    OrderID INT NOT NULL,
    CustomerID INT…

  3. The only edge Apex has over SQL Prompt formatting, at least for my use, is being able to organize long equations. If I am using a large number of columns for an equation, I'd like to place each new column on a new line.

  5. When writing SQL I don't think procedurally, which means I don't think about nested, indented "blocks" unless I'm actually using some procedural style SQL extensions like try/catch, if, case (which is a little procedural expression inside a set based statement), and so on.

    Because of this, I like to align various different "types of things" in a statement to create vertical rivers.

    So, for example, insert, update, select, from, join, where, group by, having, and order by are all aligned on the left. You might think of this as "column 1 - sql keywords".

    Then come column names, table names…

  6. On SQL Prompt Aliases section I would like to have on custom aliases when I add a new a dropdown or a list view where I can pick object instead of me writing the object name. it would be even better if it has an option to show only object not already added with alias.

  7. Semi-colons are automatically added at every END reserved key word. Make this optional.

    END(;)
    END TRY(;)
    END CATCH(;)

    This just look weird to everyone

    BEGIN
    ....
    END(;) <=== don't want it here... there's an ELSE continuation.
    ELSE
    BEGIN
    END(;)

  8. 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.

  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,
