Copy as IN clause - Allow second column as ID comment
So… Copy as IN Clause. Love it, but let’s improve it. Let’s say we have the following output…
ProductID ProductDesc
1 SQL Prompt
2 SQL Search
3 SQL CompareIf we use Copy as IN Clause on the ProductID column, we get:
IN
(
1,
2,
3
)Which super…. However those IDs mean nothing to me in 6 months time when I’m now having to modify my code. What would be awesome, is if I can select both ProductID and ProductDesc, then hit Copy as IN Clause, and get the following output:
IN

untabify
When saving/opening file automatically untabify it.
(select all then edit|advanced|untabify selected lines)
Some how, some way, despite telling everyone to set convert tabs to spaces we constantly get tabs in our SQL code. It would be really nice to just have it automatically convert to spaces so I can save a few clicks.

Shortcut to move commas from start to end and vice versa.
I would like to only affect the placement of commas in a column list, without applying other formatting options. This would work similar to Ctrl-B, Ctrl-B to remove brackets or Ctrl-B, C to insert semicolons, in that no other formatting would take place.
There are times I have a rather well-formatted script but it has been written with commas at the start of the line and I prefer them at the end. A new shortcut would toggle placing commas at the start or end of the line without affecting other formatting within the script.

Format of Valid Selected Code when there is invalid code in the script (Take 2)
Version 9.2.5.6073
I would like to request that script validation be limited to the selected text during Format SQL.This is a duplicate of a Completed feature (Bug) submitted on version 7. https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/94413-sql-prompt/suggestions/16611622-formatting-of-valid-selected-code-when-there-is-in

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".

Allow SQL PROMPT to resolve constants in an ORDER BY clause
If I create a query with an ORDER BY clause such as ORDER BY 1, 2; SQL Prompt will flag the ORDER BY and report ORDER BY clause with constants.
It would be nice to have an option to have SQL Prompt replace the constant(s) with the correct column names.

Align SET statements around = sign
I am a brand new user (1 day) for SQL PROMPT. I managed to get my parameter statements to align, but there is no option on my custom formatting style to align my set statements. See the attached jpg. Trying to get it to look like the yellow highlighted area.

Moving commas INDEPENDENTLY between front and end (for debugging mainly)
DAX Studio has a splendid feature that I think is missing from SQL Prompt and could be rather easily implemented. In DAX Studio one can switch with one mouse click between putting commas before or after the column names. The "before" option greatly speeds up debugging but such formatting should not be left in production. In prod we want to have commas after the column name. Would it be possible to add a quick action or option to SQL Prompt so that commas are immediately placed at the end or beginning of column names? I know there are formatting styles…

Place space before END when collapsing shorter case statements
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)END4 votes -
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 space between closing parethesis of a function call and FROM
Add an option to add a space between a function call, such as COUNT(), and FROM so that we don't end up with code like SELECT COUNT()FROM table. That doesn't happen when I select "Add spaces around parentheses" in the global parentheses options. The only way I've been able to get SQL Prompt to preserve that space is to select "Add spaces around parentheses" in the Function calls options, but I don't want a space between the function name and opening parenthesis.

conditions new line after
Currently we have a standard of placing new line before and after conditions with indent accordingly such that:
a=1
AND
b=2Current version only does:
a=1
AND b=2This is pretty much the only thing lacking from being able to just auto format all our procedures with a single click.

Additional Formatting Options
These are the typical formatting styles I use that I would like to see definable in SQL Prompt. Currently, I use a style that gets me close then manually format the remainder to the code:
Regarding the desired format of
1) SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY all lined up
2) TAB after SELECT, followed by first 'column'
3) Subsequent columns on separate lines and lined up with the first one.
4) TAB after any CASE followed by first WHEN
5) Subsequent WHENs lined up with first one
6) TAB before THEN (i.e. indented one tab from…4 votes
