  1. I would like to request a one-click option (or at least an out-of-the-box Format Style) that would minify either the selected line(s) or entire code in the current session.

    This would be really helpful when writing a non-dynamic TSQL that will need to be turned into dynamic to save on (VAR)CHAR limit (4000/8000).

    Thank you

  2. Ability to set a different TAB colour for read only connections to an instance e.g. to differentiate between connections to primary and read-only secondary in AOAG. This would need to inspect the ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly connection property. n.b. I have tried doing this with a registered server group containing just the one read only server, but it uses the TAB colour defined for that server, not the group, so cannot distinguish whether read-only or not.

  3. We have a database that has Foreign keys, but doesn't have them set up as such via it's schema. It's a legacy system and there are technical reasons we aren't going to go back in after the fact and define them. I can't imagine we're the only place to ever run into this, it would be nice to have some sort of config file where you could manually set up things like that.

  4. when i join 2 tables with columns having same name sql raise the error 'Ambiguous column name'. if it possible i think it is usefull to have an auto alias generator. example:
    select a.name, b.name from a join b => select a.name as aname, b.name as bname

  5. I use Tab History daily and have come to rely on it to find queries that I thought I was only going to need one time, but end up needing again. It would be great if you could use other things to search instead of just keyword. I would like to be able to select a date or date range (for example, I know I ran that query last month, or 3 months ago) and server (we have multiple servers with the same data sets so it would be nice to be able to filter to the server you know…

  6. Switching or connecting to another SQL Server instance requires several steps. It'd be nice if there was a drop down menu or keyboard shortcut to show a list of instances. The list could be frequently used or created manually.

  7. I often need to have Order By added and the following enhancements will help (same as in the grupy by intellisent)

    • order by "Primary Keys" -> Order as in table
    • order by Select-list columns -> order as in the select list
    • order by Select list columns from table x

    All three would help to type less

    Thanks

  9. Would like the option to Script Object as Alter (F12) from the Object Explorer pane. So, for example, when I click on a stored procedure in the Object Explorer and click F12 (or right click and select Script Object as Alter), it would open a new tab with the stored procedures scripted as alter.

  10. Indent the clauses that may follow an alter table statement. They currently are on the same line or split but not indented.

  11. Whitespace: I picked up an indenting/alignment pattern from a Stack Overflow thread that solves an abundance of arguments: Please provide the option for using Tabs to indent the line, and then use spaces for alignments following the first character.

  13. It would be really nice if SQL Prompt had support for defining your own collapsible regions in the SQL code. Like C# in Visual Studio.

  14. SQL prompt currently removes the empty line at the bottom of a script, which then break rule SC002.

    Can format include a setting to add a blank line at the bottom of a script, and also autofix sc002 issues.

  15. When you code a SELECT statement as:
    SELECT EffDt AS 'EffectiveDate'
    SQL PROMPT advises that string literals as column aliases have been deprecated.
    Have an option to convert string literals, similar to Remove Square Brackets. In this case, Convert Column Aliases would either remove the apostrophes, where appropriate, or add square brackets if required (e.g. the alias contained special characters, a space or reserved word).

  16. I use T4 to generate a significant amount of SQL code. It would be useful for purposes of readability especially, to be able to call the formatter from within a T4 build process.

  17. If I write "drop sv_myview" and this view is used in other views (has objects, which are dependend on it) there will be great a warning: "This object has objects, depending on it. Drop anyway?" So I can first recode the dependent objects and then drop it.

  18. I'd like to see a right-click on a tab or the tab-bar and have the option to "reopen closed tab" (and the ability to do that several times through working back through the order the tabs were closed). Same functionality as the major web browsers have.
