intellisense for SQL functions
In Visual Studio 2010, when I type in a function name and then the open paranthesis, I'm shown some intellisense that tells me what type of parameters I need to type in. For example, if I type (using VB.Net) "Dim da as Date=DateAdd(", it tells me the first paramter is "Interval as Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interval", and so forth. It would be nice if SQL Prompt did this for built-in (or even user created) functions, e.g. the DATEADD SQL function. I can never remember exactly the parameter sequence of that function, and it would be nice if SQL Prompt showed me like VS…
12 votesSQL Prompt already did this, but there was a bug with certain built-in functions, including DATEADD(), that prevented the tooltip from appearing. This is now fixed in SQL Prompt 5.2.

Share Snippets
Add the ability to change the snippet file folder location so as to share snippets between users,or machines for the same user. Of course the change would also need to check the folder for new snippets on startup and at the request of the user, the latter being important for those of us who leave ssms running for long periods.

GROUP/ORDER BY Suggestions
It would be nice, if the suggestions list for GROUP BY would include all the all the not aggregated SELECT list columns first.
For ORDER BY, all the columns/aliases or their ordinal, and add checkbox for ASC/DESC.72 votesSQL Prompt 6.5 now suggests the non-aggregated columns first for GROUP BY, with aggregated columns suggested first in HAVING clauses.

Insert Snippet Via Right Click
Really like snippets, but sometimes I'd prefer to add a snippet by looking through the list of those available.
Snippet shortcuts work well for things I do all the time, but I'd like to be able to use it as a repository for useful sql, and would therefore like a different way to insert, ie, via right click menu or even from the menu bar.
10 votesWe’ve made several improvements to snippets including new insertion options.

Enhance Press tab to expand
Right now, if I have
Select * From TableA As ta
Inner Join TableB as tb On ta.Key = tb.Keyand I "Press TAB to expand wildcard" only the fields that are in common get qualified with the table aliases. I would like to see an option of ALWAYS having the table alias added even if there is only one table.

Option to highlight parenthesis matches
In order for the braces/parenthesis highlighting to work currently, you must run the native Intellisense feature in SSMS, which creates some issues with SQL Prompt. If this were written in as part SQL Prompt, we'd be able to turn off Intellisense completely.

More options for saving results from grid
When saving results from the grid in SSMS the only option is to csv. It doesn't include headers and if your data has commas in it, the csv file becomes formatted incorrectly. An option to go to excel, or a tab delimited txt file, or choosing the delimiter would be useful.

Resizable Options-form
It would be great if the Options-forms was resizable (and the formsize was stored when closing the form).
The 'Sample SQL' textbox would then be larger so all SQL code is visible with the formatting options that are chosen.

TABS TABS TABS PLEASE
In Format --> Tabs & Wrapping there is no option to keep and actual TAB character, instead a tab is converted to the user configurable number of spaces.
This one is especially important for me because we have other code checking for TABS not (2,3,4,6,8) spaces. I now need to run a powershell script to convert the spaces back to a TAB.
Would be great to allow TABS to remain as TABS.

Add $SUGGEST$ placeholder in snippets
I would like to see an additional placeholder, maybe called $SUGGEST$, added to the snippets. This placeholder would position the cursor like $CURSOR$ and bring up the suggestions as if you hit CTRL-space. This would resolve an annoying issue that some of us see with our SSF snippet when we have a space after the FROM clause, and we are then required to hit CTRL-space to bring up the suggestion after expanding the snippet. (See forum post: http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?t=12423)
7 votesAs of SQL Prompt 5.2.8, the suggestions list will pop up automatically after a snippet insertion — if it would be sensible to do so (e.g. if the list would normally pop up if you typed the snippet out by hand).

Aliases - also enclose with square brackets []
using the example
SELECT patientid FROM PTGEPATIENT AS pgpIf I qualify object names (ctrl-B, ctrl-Q), I will get
SELECT [pgp].[patientid] FROM [dbo].[PTGEPATIENT] AS pgp
The alias is not enclosed in square brackets after the "AS" keyword. Would like to see that support for consistency (this is the standard I currently have in place)

semicolon: space before/after options
Request space options for semicolons that are analogous to space options for commas (see SQL Prompt-->Options-->Format-->Commas & parentheses)
p.s. -I really don't like the current auto-insertion of a space in front of the semicolons. At the very least, the semicolon formatting should remain untouched upon running Format SQL.17 votesAs of SQL Prompt 5.2.8, spaces are no longer inserted before semicolons during a Format SQL operation. We have not added a new option, as we have found no-one who likes the spaces to be there. If we receive further feedback to the contrary then we will consider adding an option in the future.

Synonym support
I found several feature requests concerning synonym support on the Red Gate forums: It was always put on the feature request list, but SQL Prompt still lacks support for synonyms.
Explanation: Synonym resolution support is crucial for us, since our database design and development strategy completely relies on them. We use synonyms for everything that is out of current database context. So we develop as if every used object was within current database. It's annoying to type an object name that is in fact a synonym - and SQL Prompt does not display auto-completion for the object itself nor for…102 votesWe’ve released SQL Prompt 6 which includes full synonym support.

identify occurrences of select *
Now that sql prompt and refactoring have been merged, how about a means of identifying where 'select ' has been used in stored procedures etc. including select a. and select bob, *
I would have thought that you've already done the hard work, as SQL prompt already recognises these stars when it proposes to expand the column list.2 votesWe’re happy to announce that this feature is now included in SQL Prompt V9 as part of the new code analysis feature.
