Format lists on a clause basis
I would like to control the list behavior on a clause by clause basis so that I can separate the formatting on my DECLARE statements differently than lists within SELECT and INSERT statements. As it stands, these are conflicting changes. So, the only way to get each variable declared on a separate line is to also have every column in other statements on a separate line. I'd like to be able to do BOTH of these:
DECLARE @GUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER = NEWID(),
@Char CHAR(1) = 'A',
@Int INT = 1,
@Datetime DATETIME = CURRENTTIMESTAMP,
@Decimal DECIMAL(18,10) = 1.0,
@Date DATE…2 votes -
Load tabs into prior windows on SSMS startup
Currently I have query tabs in two separate windows within SSMS to view data and queries side by side. After closing and re-opening, it would be great if these segregated tabs went back into their appropriate windows. Along with that, it would be great if it would only load back in the tabs for the server we are connected too. Not also the tabs that I had open in a different instance of SSMS to a different server; which I had displayed on a different monitor for more side by side viewing.

Make SQL Prompt & SCG Command line ignore code where scgignore is set
We have adopted SCG and have commented out areas of code we do not want checking with scgignore. The new version of SCG command prompt and SQL Prompt do not recognise these comments, and report the area of code with warnings.
Please amend so they are not reported, or at least reported differently so we can ignore.13 votes -

Closing parenthesis and content indention on APPLY/EXISTS not indenting
It seems that the contents and closing parenthesis of EXISTS and APPLY clauses is not being indented as I would expect. So either i'm weird....or Format SQL is doing it wrong?
I'm using (
.....this parentheses style
)What it's doing:
SELECT *
FROM tblA a
WHERE 1 = 1
.....AND EXISTS (
.....SELECT *
.....FROM tblB b
.....WHERE b.Col1 = a.Col1
..........AND b.Col2 = a.Col2
..........AND b.Col3 = a.Col3
)What I expect:
SELECT *
FROM tblA a
WHERE 1 = 1
.....AND EXISTS (
..........SELECT *
..........FROM tblB b
..........WHERE b.Col1 = a.Col1
...............AND b.Col2 = a.Col2

Lists formatting for Columns and Parameters should be treated separately
The starting item in a List of Columns for a SELECT statement is fine to place on the same line as the SELECT, however, for EXEC <proc name that is probably longer> it looks odd to have the Parameters line up at the end. This should be a separate choice for EXEC Parameters. I chose the "commas before" style for most everything, but prefer the "default" layout for EXEC proc parameters.

Refactoring INSERT into MERGE
Refactoring INSERT into UPDATE is definitely useful, but most of us are familiar with these. The complex MERGE statement is a mess, and a clean way to generate that would be fantastic!! Especially since you can figure out the primary keys, etc..

- click right button, in context menu, exists a "Copy as json" item.
- click "Copy as json", in other place paste, get json texts.

Trim white space
Please add an option be added to SQL Prompt to trim all white space.
Ideally, the following would be supported:
- Ability to execute against a query window or block of selected code
- Available as a stand-alone shortcut
- Can include as part of a Format SQL style
- Option to remove a) leading spaces, b) trailing spaces, c) both9 votes -

Control D to duplicate selected text
When text is selected, Control D would create a copy of that text. If no text is selected, the current line of the cursor will be duplicated.
Much like the behavior of Excel to carry down cell values (and a popular Visual Studio plugin), this will allow users to keep the text on their clipboard to paste it over part of the SQL that was just duplicated (like the contents of a where clause).

format expressions like operator
Would it be possible to treat the 'LIKE' operator the same as '=' in the Expressions\Operators settings so they are all aligned?
select AddressID
from Person.Address
where ModifiedDate
between dateadd(month, -6, getdate())
and getdate()
and City = 'Bothell'
or left(PostalCode, 2) like 'CB%'

Separate "Collapse parentheses if contents are shorter than..." option from Primary Keys
In SQL Prompt, Formatting Styles, I would like to differentiate the “Short parentheses contents” behavior, so it didn’t impact the primary key when I add a Constraint Primary Key Clustered at Create Table time.
I like my PK fields to stand out, not hide in a block of text.
But I also like any other listing of a few fields to be kept on a single line, and not bloating the screen for no reason at all.
Currently, I can’t have both.In short, I want
CREATE TABLE dbo.Orders
(
OrderDate DATETIME NOT NULL,
OrderID INT NOT NULL,
CustomerID INT…1 vote -
align aliases
Please, separate options to align aliases for columns and tables..... I love aligned column aliases, but table aliases advance too far right, unnecessarily.

Snippet tags to insert other snippets
I like to get clever with snippets, and it would be great to be able to create dynamic snippets for different circumstances by being able to nest one snippet within the creation script of another. That way I can parse individual functionality in different snippets, but build them together to create more complex dynamic snippets without having to maintain the same basic code in multiple individual scripts.
I could see this working simply like:
snippet1:
DoThing;snippet2:
$snippet1$
DoMoreThing;2 votes
