Enable click-away from the window for the "Summarize Script" feature in SSMS
It would be really nice if I could click away from the summarize script window and scroll around in my script, or maximize the window for use on another monitor, or dock the window next to my script

Please add support for Visual Studio Preview versions. We frequently work in those and SQL Prompt Pro specifically is not available.

Begin statement is not starting on a new line within an If statement. Please allow this in format styles. The option is there but it doesn't
When Place Begin - End statements on new line is selected it doesn't appear to work as part of an If statement. This makes the begin and end difficult to find

Add possibility to make snippet for "GROUP BY 'by all non-aggregated columns'"
I use GROUP BY only for 'by all non-aggregated columns' in 99% of cases. I've created snippet for GROUP BY (gb) and then I pick this option from the intellisense menu. It would be nice to have possibility to have snippet that would add these 'all non-aggregated columns' automatically most probably by adding new variable.

Save Query Results / Results History
One option that would be really neat, is to have the option to save the results of a query so I can compare the two sets side by side without having to drop them into Excel. e.g. run a query, tag it for archive, then after a time run the query again. And I'd have two Results Tabs in the output window. Results and Results(0). If that could be extended to multiple results windows, it would give me a simple way to track changes over time. And lastly, if tagged, the results would restore with the tab.

"Re-connect" right-click menu option in Tab History
TH knows the instance and DB the tab was connected to. Often, SSMS/SQL Prompt forget upon SSMS shut-down and fire-up the next day, to reconnect. (Happened 2020-10-02, so a current problem on just 4 tabs, when I often have a dozen open).
Select one or more from any of the lists ==> right-click ==> new option to "Reconnect to saved instance-DB", or "Connect all to an Instance" (Problem with that is the default to master means we likely have to visit every tab anyway - unless RG gives us a better version of the Connect dialog! Where it connects and…

Warn about always true WHERE clauses such as ID = ID instead of ID = @ID
It is common to create functions and stored procedures that have parameters with the same name as fields. Sometimes the @ is mistakenly skipped when creating a WHERE condition and you end up with something like ID = ID instead of ID = @ID. I would like intellisense that warns me about this type of error.

materialise temp table (from SELECT INTO)
I pick up LOTS of legacy code with SELECT INTO statements.
sometimes they are into temp tables but also in physical tables.
It would be great to be able to highlight the statement in the SQL and right-click and choose to automatically convert it into a TRUNCATE + INSERT INTO (whilst running the CREATE TABLE statement for me)
for example:
/This is the statement I start off with/
SELECT TOP 10 *
INTO dbo.example_table
FROM sys.objects/SQL prompt pops up with dialog box to choose the table name and creates the table for me/

Tab History Window Behaviour
Can the tab history window, when maximized, be made to consider the maximum screen size when it's popped out?
I have monitors that have different resolutions and if I pop it out on my smaller screen it doesn't fit and I loose the top of the screen with the search and tabs - but most annoyingly that also means I loose the window bar so can't control the size either!2 votes -
install
Would LOVE SQL Prompt to do a silent upgrade, without the need to "promote" admin privledges, nor close Visual Studio / SSMS. Love the upgrades, but they are frequent, and the installation process is disruptive.

Add option to choose Single/Multi-line script for INSERT and EXECUTE statements
Currently SQL Prompt inserts SQL full INSERT script or EXEC SP in multiline while it might be useful for INSERT statement, but most of the times I have to realign them into a single line. It would be good if we have the option to choose wheather to add statement in single line or multi line? and its more usefull if we have shortcut to switch the inserted statement between formats?

Smart Rename should be smarter about changing schema &table name
When renaming both the table and schema name, and a table already exists w/ the old table name but new schema name, Smart Rename errors because it does not detect this conflict and tries to first rename the table to the conflicting table name.
e.g., renaming stage.dboTable1 to dbo_stage.Table1 (and stage.Table1 already exists):EXEC sp_rename N'[stage].[dboTable1]', N'Table1', N'OBJECT' GO IF @@ERROR <> 0 SET NOEXEC ON GO ALTER SCHEMA [dbo_stage] TRANSFER [stage].[Table1] GO IF @@ERROR <> 0 SET NOEXEC ON GOwould work if script instead did this:
…ALTER SCHEMA [dbo_stage] TRANSFER [stage].[dboTable1] GO IF @@ERROR <> 0 SET NOEXEC1 vote -
Custom Formatting and Refactoring (API)
I would like to expand upon suggestions others have made regarding adding custom formatting and analyzers.
I have recently been trying to implement SQL Prompt for our team, and I have struggles with a lack of customization, opinionated options that don’t reflect our needs, and some bugs.
What would have solved this issue for me would have been the ability to add custom formatters and custom analyzers.Custom Formatters
Since SQL Prompt gets the position of tokens from IAlignmentProvider.FinalAlignmentForToken I suggest that the API couple simply be plumbed into this method, if a plugin is attached it would call the…3 votes -
SQL Prompt Setting Sharing
Provide an easier way to share SQLPrompt (snippet/code formatting/settings).
Like give us 2 (or more) folders to connect to, rather than one, 1 for the default items (make them read only, but optional?) Then directories for items you write for personal use, then one or more for team shares.
I share common ones with team, but they don't need my changes, or some I use for personal uses (like formatting code for a book, or snippets for features we don't use)
Right now, I have started using naming conventions to copy out team items to put into Source Control to…

Tab History, wrong server
After doing multiple server migrations, if you open something in tab history that was for one of the previous servers. Sometimes an implicit connection to the server is still used despite not being connected to that server in Object Explorer. This has caused us to have to troubleshoot something that wasn't working anymore when it fact it is just because the connection was the old server. This forces us to copy the SQL statements to Notepad then open a new window and past so that the connection is set to the connected to server. Some kind of warning of this…

Enable tab color for "not connected" tabs
I would like to set "not connected" tabs to a passive color like light gray to indicate they are not actively connected to a database. Current tab coloring is set by the connection, so this isn't possible. One possible implementation is to create an environment called "not connected" and then specifying NULL in the "SERVER" field.
This would be especially helpful for those who use SSMS's dark theme with SQL Prompt, because "not connected" tabs become nearly invisible with a black background and black font.

Convert IIF to CASE
We have code littered with IIFs that we would like to convert to CASE. Logically this is straightforward, but achieving it swiftly is proving more difficult. A regex takes care of the simple ones, but the ugly ones with nested functions across multiple lines and all sorts are proving far more difficult.
Would it be possible to add a feature to SQL Prompt to refactor IIFs into CASE statements? Thanks
