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.

Improve formatting of parameter layout
SQL Prompt 5 does not behave the same as SQL Refactor when it comes to formatting parameters that may be passed to a function, stored procedure, etc. You can increase the text wrapping, but that is not a full-scale solution. A better solution would be to allow you to want to align the parameters on new lines or put all parameters on one line ignoring the text wrapping limit.

Partial Name Matching (like the Intellisense in VS2010)
I thought that partial matching for Intellisense was a rubbish idea, but after using in VS2010 I find it absolutely indispensable, and I really miss it in SQL Prompt.
[b]What is it?[/b]
An example:
[code]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Clients](
[ClientID] [int] NOT NULL,
[ClientName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ClientSurname] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ClientCardNumber] [int] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
[/code]If I had to now type
[code]
SELECT
ClientID,
ClientName,
ClientSurname,
ClientCardNumber
FROM
dbo.Clients AS c
ORDER BY
$CURSOR$
[/code]
and started typing "Cli" I would get a list of all the column names on the table. However, if I typed "ID"…36 votesAs of SQL Prompt 5.3, partial matching is now included for everyone.

Support for XML functions
The XML data type methods are CASE-SENSITIVE - so SQL Prompt must NEVER EVER uppercase those! I have been requesting this feature for a long time. Please fix this.

Jump to object explorer
I just had a situation where I was in code, didn't have the object explorer opened up for the connection and wanted to look at the table properties, security etc.
It would be really good if you good offer up a "go to object in object explorer" feature - similar to the F12 shortcut to load an ALTER tab, but just changes the object explorer focus to the object that I am currently at.

Disable SQL Prompt on certain databases
In previous versions of SQL Prompt, I could tell it to ignore certain databases for generating intellisense. We have a couple of databases that are causing issues with the product when it attempts to load the schemas. I would like to have the ability to turn off SQL Prompt for certain databases back.

Uppercase keywords without changing layout
I used this all the time in SQL Refactor for code I wanted to make easier to read but didn't want to have layout changes.Can we have it back?

Quicker way to disable / enable
Some users report that having to go into options to disable prompt temporarily is long winded. Can there be a quicker way (perhaps a keyboard shortcut or direct menu option)?
5 votesI’m going to close this idea to return your votes since I think it was completed a while back (you can disable suggestions with Ctrl+Shift+P or from the Prompt menu). If I’ve misunderstood then feel free to create another idea with more specifics.

Add current stored procedure name to prompt
I write a lot of stored procedures, and one of the nice things about SQL Refactor was that the names of new procedures would autocomplete. For example, "CREATE PROCEDURE WHATEVERPROCEDURENAME" would autocomplete "WHATEVERPROCEDURENAME" if I typed "GRANT EXECUTE ON W". It's a minor convenience to be sure, but it's also frustrating to see you favorite features disappear.

Reinstate SQL Refactor shortcut keys
Please let us have CTRL+U back for setting reserved words to uppercase (this shortcut seems to have disappeared) as well as CTRL+B+L for layout. CTRL+K+Y isn't as natural to use and I'm giving serious thought to downgrading to the previous version. I've been used to those shortcuts for years and all it's doing now is annoying me and getting in the way.
8 votesIn SQL Prompt 5.1, Ctrl+B Ctrl+L now activates Format SQL (Ctrl+K Ctrl+Y still works too), and Ctrl+B Ctrl+U activates Uppercase Keywords.

Date time types default to UTC and cannot be changed
Whenever I use the INSERT INTO template in SQL Prompt 5, I get an incorrect date and/or time inserted for all date/time columns detected in the table. The time is 8 hours ahead of my time zone. I am on Pacific Standard Time, thus running the INSERT INTO template at say, 4pm, will generate a default date/time stamp of the next day at midnight (2011-01-06 16:00:00 real time produces a default insertion of 2011-01-07 00:00:00 for all date/time column values in the proposed INSERT statement). My assumption is that the default time is set to UTC which makes sense for…
