If any stored procedures in the database are encrypted then "Find Invalid Objects" will get a null reference and prompt to restart SSMS.

formatting of OVER clause
Would like to control formatting of the OVER clause. E.g I would like the complete "(Partition by ... order by ...) as xyz" on one line, but today it's overrdden by other options.

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?

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 -
Customizable colors for database objects in object explorer
It would be very useful to have the ability to define a color for certain database objects such as tables or columns. With that feature, objects could be marked individually and would be highlighted, for example columns with an index on them. Other users would be able to directly see this and take it into account in their query design for example. These settings should also be saved in the source control if desired.

with 2 columns (Column Name, Value) to allow results to be easily pasted into emails etcexample (simple result only the result values would need to be selected)

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 -
PE019
I'd like to vote for adding PE019 (Consider using EXISTS instead of IN) to the issues which can be auto-fixed.
It feels like the kind of re-write that would probably be simpler for a computer to do than a person.

Universal user settings ("run as different user" scenario)
I use two AD user accounts on a daily basis - a normal account and a "server admin" account (for server OS local admin and SQL instance sysadmin permissions). Hence, I run SSMS as either one or the other user. SQL Prompt settings (same goes for other Redgate tools) are saved per user, which makes it quite tedious, since after every setting change I have to export from that user and import to the other user.
Can you it an option for settings to be user independant (universal)?

Refreshing suggestions (Ctrl+Shift+D) should apply to all databases, not just the current one
Currently, when refreshing suggestions with Ctrl+Shift+D, only the new changes in the current database are seen. To load the changes in another database (that I'm referring with a 3-part name in a query), I need to change the current database to that one, press Ctrl+Shift+D and then change the current database back to the original one. If it's the first time I'm accessing the other database (since starting SSMS), the changes are loaded when typing the 3-part name. However, if I had previously accessed the other database, refreshing does not work as I expect: it should drop the entire cache…

Indent AND/OR in WHERE/GROUP BY/etc. differently than ON clause
Support request #137199: Provide an option to indent AND/OR entries in a WHERE clause to line up indented, but leave AND/OR entries directly underneath ON clauses:
SELECT
t1.col5
, t2.col6
FROM
table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2
ON t1.col1 = t2.col1
AND t1.col2 = t2.col2 -- AND is directly below ON clause
WHERE
t1.col3 = 'Test'
AND t2.col4 = 5 -- AND is indented underneath WHERE2 votes -
Implement all SQL Code Guard Rules in SQL Prompt Code Analysis
There are several rules that are only available in SQL Code Guard. And with SQL Code Guard no longer being maintained they should be implemented in SQL Prompt Code Analysis so that we can avoid having to use two products.
By our count here are the rules currently not implemented in Code Analysis:
DEP004 COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses are deprecated
DEP005 FASTFIRSTROW table hint is deprecated
DEP008 PASSWORD/MEDIAPASSWORD options in BACKUP/RESTORE statement are deprecated
DEP010 DBCC CONCURRENCYVIOLATION is deprecated
DEP017 NON-ANSI join (= or =) is used
EI001 Incompatible variable type for procedure call
EI002 Incompatible literal…5 votes -
Move the Options - Styles configuration to the individual Style definition page
Options - Styles pane contains, for example, "Apply column alias style" and its drop-down. This does not belong as a universal style setting, among others.
Please move it to the "Formatting Styles" configuration dialog.
This is because many practitioners either do not know about the "alias = column" capability in T-SQL, or don't like it, or it's contrary to company standards. The ability to use this form, which IMO is more brain-friendly, ought to be on the Formatting page as it is, in fact, a significant style element.
Thanks.

On-the-fly query keyboard shortcut
Similar to the query shortcuts built into SSMS with the number row...except you can set it on-the-fly, quickly and easily.
I'll let you guys figure out the details if you think it's a good idea. Basically I want the ability to give SQL prompt a query, and say, "please run this every time before running the highlighted query". But the configuration process needs to be FAST and EASY to help with rapid troubleshooting.
This is useful for variable declarations that are at the top of a script, but you need to run another part of a script separately.

Align BETWEEN with comparison operators
It's currently possible to align operations in WHERE which is great, but BETWEEN is not aligned.
Example - currently:
WHEREModifiedDate BETWEEN DATEADD(MONTH, -6, GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND City__________= 'Bothell'
OR LEFT(PostalCode, 2)= 'CB'
OR PostalCode_______= @prefix + @suffixExpected:

wrap line at the limit, not at comma
When setting a line wrap at a number of cheracters, I would like to get the line at that long, and then wrapped. Not at the first comma. For example currently I get:
select firstname
, lastname
, email
, phonenumber
, country
, countryalias
, region
, gender... but I want to get:
select firstname, lastname, email, phonenumber, country
, countryalias, region, gender1 vote -
Make equals signs line up with tabs
When I type code I like to line up all the equals (=) signs using tabs so that all the code to the right of the equals sign lines up nicely on my screen. I find this really useful for improving readability when using column aliases, in joins, and in update statements.
I can't find an option in SQL Prompt to do this and it annoys me when I format my SQL and all the equals signs become ragged.2 votes -
Autofix for existing functionality
There are cases where the code analysis detects errors and where the tool already have functionality to correct the issue. For instance with unqualified column names
