Add support for spatial functions/methods
Need Intellisense for the spatial functions and geography/geometry data types, especially since they are case sensitive, and annoyingly a mixture of upper and lowercase.

"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.

format join
I would like the ability to get Format SQL to handle my JOIN formatting - I like to have my JOINs look like this:
SELECT
(columns)
FROM
sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECTID = i.objectidThat is: I want to have my tables being joined lined up with the (intended) table in the FROM clause, and I like to have my JOIN condition on the same line as the joined table.
Right now, I cannot seem to get this to work - the table name and join condition are always stuck onto the same line as…

Enhance the Format SQL to recognize the WITH clause.
When the WITH clause is specified in the FROM clause on a JOIN, Format SQL pushes the join condition out to the WITH.
Like this:
FROM
TableA WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN TableB WITH (NOLOCK)
ON TableA.ID = TableB.IDI would like it to behave like it does when the WITH is not present
FROM
TableA WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN TableB WITH (NOLOCK)
ON TableA.ID = TableB.ID7 votesThis is included in SQL Prompt 6.4, which you can download from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/

Bring back native SSMS intellisense when disabling SQL prompt
When disabling SQL prompt (or when a trial ends) the default SSMS intellisense is not getting back to work.
This is especially important since there are a lot areas that the native SSMS intellisense is much better than SQL prompt (I will try to post all of them), so one might try to take advantage of it.3 votesThis is included in SQL Prompt 6.4, which you can download from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/

Indent comments consistent with code
I'm finding my comments are hanging out all on their own after the rest of my code is formatted. I would request a feature to allow comments to indent to the same level as the code on the line below.

improve performance in SSMS when CTE statements are in the script
Or maybe an option to disable parsing of statements using CTEs. My keyboard takes seconds to respond when several CTEs are in the script.

Script Object as ALTER feature should not use cached scripts
Please see forum thread http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=14749
I ran into what I would consider a serious issue with the Script Object as ALTER feature. A few hours earlier I had changed a stored procedure script and executed the Alter script so the change was now "active".
A few hours later, within the same SSMS application (but different query window) I used the right-click Script Object option as a shortcut so I didn't have to scroll through a very long list in Object Explorer... Unfortunately it scripted the OLD version of the procedure and not the one changed hours earlier.
Now, I know…
2 votesAs of SQL Prompt 5.2.8, Script as ALTER will always fetch the script directly from the database.

Give us a configurable option to "Always show table schema in suggestions list"
We use a separate schema (z_audit) to capture data changes from dbo tables as a complete audit trail. The tables in each schema are named the same. Every time I come to the suggestions list, I either take it as read that the top table listed is in the dbo schema, or must click that little arrow at bottom-left to "show schema", involving having to grab the mouse just to expose the schema when we're supposed to be efficiently keying; no mousing involved unless we need to use a different suggestions tab...
An option that toggles this to OUR preference…

Please provide intellisense even when not in the current database
In SSMS when accessing a table that is not in the current database (using the three part convention) then no intellisense is coming up for the fields (such as in the where clause)

SELECT DISTINCT starts new line and loses indentation; keep SELECT DISTINCT on same line please.
I believe the DISTINCT keyword should remain on SELECT line but at least maintain the indentation please. Thanks

Turn Off Schema Collection
I'd like to enable schema collection when I'm writing code, and disable it when I'm doing adhoc queries. Why: We have 100 identical databases with 1900 tables in each database. When I run a query that pulls data from each database sqlprompt starts collecting schema data from all 100 databases, then it runs out of memory and crashes.
The "Turn Off Prompting" option does not help.example:
select id,customer from DB1.dbo.orders where date > @d
union select id,customer from DB2.dbo.orders where date > @d

Supprt Quoted identifiers for prompting
If you go
SELECT * FROM sys.tables AS t
or
SELECT * FROM sys.tables AS [t]then intellisense will happily carry on working correcly, with t. now showing object members.
However
SELECT * FROM sys.tables AS "t"
and
SELECT * FROM sys.tables AS 't'both cause the intellisense to give up for the rest of the batch. All four identifier markups are valid (for now) and should be treated equally...
1 voteSQL Prompt 6.3 resolves quoted identifiers correctly

Support for SQL CMD Mode
Please add support for SQL CMD mode. When SSMS is in SQL CMD mode, SQL Prompt pretty much becomes disabled when :setvar is used to define an object (e.g. table) name. Thus, in the code:
:setvar mytable "dbo.mytable"
select * from $(mytable)SQL Prompt is of no use. SQL Prompt should be able to resolve $(mytable) to the base object.
