Optional column alias when expanding wildcards
When SQL Prompt gives you the option to expand wildcards by typing a TAB, can you make it possible to add a modifier key (say Alt-TAB or Ctrl-TAB) that will generate aliased column names based on the table name?
For example, on an insert or update statement, we can use the OUTPUT clause to capture the changes made to a table. So, currently, typing Deleted.* and pressing TAB will generate columns such as
Deleted.Id,
Deleted.ModifiedDate,
Deleted.Description
and so on.It would be more useful to have
Deleted.Id as DeletedId,
Deleted.ModifiedDate as DeletedModifiedDate,
Deleted.Description as DeletedDescription8 votes -
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.

Format SQL Backup to URL with credential breaks code
Formatting a SQL batch which contains
BACKUP DATABASE Databasename
TO URL = N'URL'
WITH CREDENTIAL = N'Credential'leads to
BACKUP DATABASE Databasename
TO URL = N'URL'
WITH AS CREDENTIAL = N'Credential'the AS between with and credential is wrong.
Please fix :-)

Suggestions window should display CREATE sql for CLR objects
No CREATE SQL is displayed in the suggestions window when hovering over any CLR objects, or scripting the object as alter. The code returned is just a comment saying:
-- No creation SQL available for this object type
The CREATE/ALTER statement can easily be built by querying the relevant system tables. SSMS does it when you script the object and other Redgate products such as SQL Compare and SQL Source Control do it just fine, not sure why SQL Prompt would have been left out.

Using Ctrl-F12 to jump to object - Refresh if required
I often use the Ctrl-F12 feature to jump to an object in the object Explorer, however this doesn't work if the object has been renamed, or was just recently created. In those cases I need to manually refresh the object Explorer before I can use F12. Perhaps the F12 feature could do that for me? (or prompt if it can't find the object)

Formatting of the invocation of a stored procedure
Hi there. Currently, SQL Prompt formats an invocation of a sproc like this:
exec sproc @param1 = ?,
@param2 = ?,
@param3 = ?I'd like to be able to change this into:
exec sproc
@param1 = ?,
@param2 = ?,
@param3 = ?Thanks.

Formatting option to columnize not only column names but data-types and nullability as well
Some of us would like the option for formatting of table declarations to not only align [tabify] column names (indented one tab), but also columnize/tabify the data types and nullability so that table definitions are grid-like. Constraints per column are are far more variable and therefore require more of a free format or sometimes pushing them to subsequent lines, but at minimum, the ColumnName, DataType and Nullability should be optioned to columnize by default.
When there are hundreds or thousands of tables in a db schema, I'm used to scanning table definitions, and having them organized grid-like saves my eyeballs…

Object definition window: Mark primary/foreign key columns
In the suggestion box primary key/foreign keys are visually marked. I would like to see this in the objects definition box (Summary tab) as well.
Also it might nice to be able to select columns in there and add those columns to the qury

Script as INSERT
Fix "Script as INSERT" functionality with dates.
Currently when I use this great functionality all the datetime fields will get a form N'1900-01-01T00.00.00'.
Unfortunately the Finnish SQL server settings does not recognise that and running this script gives an error "Msg 241, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.". I have not been able to find a way to change that date format in SQL Prompt Options.1 vote -
Name tab with object name when scripting from Object Explorer
When scripting an object from the Object Explorer, for example with right-click -> Modify or Script as... CREATE To, the tab created has a default name determined by SSMS, for example "SQLQuery45 - database01.sql". It would be great if this naming was the same as when you click F12 on an object name in a script, where the new tab is named the same as the object, for example "dbo.SomeStoredProcedure - database01.sql".

Cross symbol to Close Tab (and don't jump away afterwards)
I'm a "messy" developer who leaves dozens of tabs open while I'm working on a project, only occasionally doing a bit of a spring clean by closing what I don't need. I only just realised I can do this in Tab History by filtering for Open tabs and right-clicking on a tab entry and choosing Close from the context menu. And I love the fact that I get a preview just by hovering over the name so I can quickly decide whether or not to close each tab.
I would like to see a cross (close) symbol added to the…

Add a hotkey that will expand the selection to envelop the current statement
Pressing control+A will select an entire document.
I'd like a control+k, control+A to select the current statement based on cursor position.This would enable me to do a few things:
01. Format the current statement with a hotkey
02. Copy or cut my current statement so I can paste it somewhere elseThanks.

Custom Rank Suggestions
Could see there are ranked suggestions, which is good.
Can we take this to next level by letting user add custom ranking to suggestions to see those we rank always at the top but with a requirement that you need to enter at least a single letter so that your custom suggestions starting with that letter would be the first in order of display.Thanks!

Smart Rename on Service Broker Objects
Smart Rename should work on service broker objects. These objects: Message Types, Contracts, Queues and Services are all interdependent. Renaming Message Types, for example, requires the dropping of the dependent Contracts, which in turn requires the dropping of the dependent Services.
It would be great to be able to generate the relevant drop and create sql in one hit.1 vote -
Remove PE019 (Consider using EXISTS instead of IN), or allow it to be disabled
Following the suggestions of rule PE019 (Consider using EXISTS instead of IN) leads to performance issues, by creating correlated subqueries. Even the documentation of the rule admits that there is no longer a performance benefit of doing what is suggested. Please remove the rule or allow the rule to be disabled across a team. At the moment, the disabling of rules is done per developer, and a developer who did not know to switch off this rule, followed the advice, creating a performance problem.

Use a cell pattern to format NULL values in "Open in Excel" feature
When using the feature 'Open in Excel' for grid results, I'm unable to determine in Excel which database values were empty strings vs. NULL values. I like that it no longer exports the word 'NULL', but I'd like some sort of option to be able to make a distinction between the two.
My idea is to use a cell fill pattern (Format Cells + Fill + Pattern Style), but I would be satisfied with just about anything to be able to make that distinction. The pattern I recommend is the most sparsely dotted option, which shows a tool-tip of 6.25%…

Option to not square bracket aliases
It would be nice to have an option to not but square brackets around aliases as it's our style to not do so. We find it makes the aliases unnecessarily long,since most of our aliases are 1 or 2 letters.
For example
SELECT
T.[TableId],
T.[Name]
FROM
[dbo].[MyTable] Tvs
SELECT
[T].[TableId],
[T].[Name]
FROM
[dbo].[MyTable] [T]Currently we have to go back and rename an alias to itself so that the square brackets go away.
