1. warn against data truncation

   I would be nice if SQL-prompt could warn against posible data truncation.
   Like assigning a int value to a tinyint field/variable or assigning a varchar(30) to a varchar(3).
   I want it both at an global analysis (like find invalid objects) and in the current scrip edit (while modifying a trigger / procedure / function).

2. Extend 'Find Invalid objects' to find other 'problems'. E.g. unaliased fields, wildcards etc.

   It would be lovely to find other elements in the database that may not stop it from working right now but are 'problems waiting to happen'. Other examples might be to search for field names that clash with reserved terms.

3. SQL Prompt API

   I think having an API to format generated SQL scripts, whether it be from the SQL Compare API or another process like SMO objects, to able to apply the formats saved in SQL Prompt.

   It would be great if you could let us know more about how you’d use a Prompt API / command line version of Prompt.

   What problems are you having without it?
   How are you getting around those?
   How would this make your work better?

4. More "power" to tabs

   1) add a possibility to set custom colours to tabs
   2) pin in/pin out tabs
   3) automatically set colour for executing queries tabs
   4) add possibility to pop-up windows when query execution finish

6. Intellisense for Linked Server connection to MySQL ODBC

   I have been using SQL Prompt for awhile and one of the best feature I like about it is the fact that Intellisense works even on Linked Server to other MSSQL databases.

   Recently however, I have set up Linked server to MySQL ODBC connections and I noticed that Intellisense is no longer returning the table names and column names in the predictive boxes.

   I then tested this to other ODBC connection. I set up Firebird (DB2) and Oracle and Intellisense seems to be working for these (only for table names, not columns but that's better than nothing).

   Is there a way that we can get it to work for MySQL ODBC connections as well?

7. convert SQL to a vbb (or c#) string statement

   in toad you can get it to convert a SQL statement into a VB or C# statement. i.e. if you have
   select * from atable
   where a = 'FREE'

   this would be converted to
   SQL = "select * from atable"
   sql =sql & "where a = 'FREE'"

   this is then pasted into the clipboard

   it can also do the reverse, have a chunk of VB code with a SQL statement, past it into the window, highlight it and it will try and convert it back to straight SQL (do not worry about variables added into the the vbcode, even toad cannot perform miracles) I used to use this a LOT!

9. Change quote completion behavior within Openquery or dynamic SQL strings

   I really like auto quote completion, but when I am working with an openquery statement or dynamic sql where I am having to escape quotes by doubling them up, I find myself fighting the "helpful" behavior of quote completion either refusing to add a second quote or it adds too many quotes.
   So, my suggestion is that the quote completion feature check to see if you are trying to add quotes within a quoted string and change its behavior to either not do quote completion or to (even better) automatically add escaped quotes.

   To illustrate the problem and my proposed solution:
   I am starting a statement like this:
   SELECT HOUSEKEY
   ,ESTIMATEDHOUSEHOLDINCOME
   ,SITEID
   FROM OPENQUERY(unica, '
   Select HOUSEKEY, ESTIMATEDHOUSEHOLDINCOME, SITEID
   from cm.householddemographics hd
   where SITEID in(

   At this point I need to enter a list of values separated by quotes and commas. Because this inside a string, I need to enter a pair of single quotes for at the start and end of every value, but when I type the second single quote, it gives me two, so now I have three single quotes when I was trying to get two.

   Ideally, SQL Prompt would see that I was inside string at this point and either turn off the completion so that when I type two single quotes , I get only two single quoutes, or even better it would always give me a pair of single quotes when I type one (though this could be a problem too, if not handled well).

   Hope that explanation makes sense.

10. Format pasted-in list

    I need a way to format a group of text items into a SQL query that I'm going to use for an "IN ('item1','item2','item3')" clause within the WHERE clause. There's got to be a simpler way than manually keying in all the single quotes and commas, particularly when the comma triggers SQL Prompt to start trying to prompt each time, so I have to add an Esc keypress to get SQL Prompt out of the way.

11. Place space before END when collapsing shorter case statements

    When collapsing CASE expressions shorter then XXX, the END has no space if there is a preceding parenthesis.

    Example1 = CASE t1.Col004 WHEN 1 THEN t1.Col006 END,
    Example1 = CASE t1.Col004 WHEN 1 THEN TRY_CONVERT(int, t1.Col006)END,

13. Add support for SSMS preview candidates

    Some people uses the latest versions of SSMS. I'd like to see it in non-release versions, maybe not fully supported yet.
