  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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).

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  12. Add option to prevent SQL Prompt from looking across DBs for joins. We have DB Servers with 5000 DBs on them. SQL Prompt struggles to try and evaluate possible cross DB joins. It'd be nice to be able to turn that off so that it only tries to do analysis on the currently selected DB.

  13. Hello,

    I try some Add ins for sql server and i found a very interesting and useful functionnality on Softtree sql assistant.
    When we have a very large Stored procedure for example, with several BEGIN and END , softtree have a functionality when i place the mouse on BEGIN to [Jump to end] to find the corresponding END, the opposite is also true, when i Place the mouse on END [Jump to begginning].
    This functionnlity is very very useful.
    I hope you consider developing the same functionality in your SQL Prompt.

    Best regards,
    Luis

  15. I like the new feature to put recently-selected items at the top of the list for Intellisense. However, when I have typed an exact match, I would like to see Intellisense elevate that exact object to the top of the list.

    For example, suppose I have recently selected a table named "dbo.OrderDetail", and suppose that there is another table in the same database called dbo.Order. With the new feature, I cannot access "dbo.Order" as the top candidate, because it is a partial match of "dbo.OrderDetail," and so SQLPrompt puts that name at the top.

    In a nutshell, I would like…

  16. Currently SQL Prompt only has one option for formatting insert statements which poses a problem for us with multi value set inserts.

    Ideally we'd be able to select a formatting for a single value set insert and another format for a multi value set insert.

    This would allow us to do something like this:

    -- Single Value Set Insert
    INSERT INTO TestTable (TestName,
    ~~~~TestValue,
    ~~~~TestDate)
    VALUES (N'Something',
    ~~~~140,
    ~~~~'1/1/2019')

    -- Multi Value Set Insert
    INSERT INTO TestTable (TestName, TestValue, TestDate)
    VALUES (N'Something', 140, '1/1/1900'),
    ~~~~(N'SomethingElse', 150, '1/2/1900'),
    ~~~~(N'SomethingElse2', 160, '1/2/2000')

    The issue for us is that we have need of…

  18. I would like to see the Script Object as Alter (F12) feature to work with synonyms. However, I am aware that a synonym cannot be altered - instead I suggest to generate a script containing a DROP and a CREATE statement.

    That way one could bring up the code of the referenced object by selecting the synonym, pressing F12, selecting the referenced object and pressing F12 again.

  19. It would be useful to be able to copy a selection from the results grid which is pre-formatted as a WHERE clause in the same way "Copy as clause" IN works, e.g. copying a single value from ProductID column would produce WHERE ProductID = 5 and copying multiple values would produce WHERE ProductID in ( 5, 10, 15 ).
