Copy column from grid results as comma separated list
Oftentimes when I am writing queries, the results from one column of one query are quickly needed in my next one in an IN clause. I highlight the column of values from the results grid and paste into the query window, and then have to append commas (and for neatness, I delete the line breaks). I would be nice to have an added option the context-menu of the results grid to add a copy as comma separated list (in addition to the current copy and copy with headers options).

semi colon placed on new line
Place semi-colon on new line.
I frequently format my statements as I'm developing them, but multiple times now I've started to add an Order By or some other clause after the auto-inserted semi-colon. I would like to see an option to place the semicolon on the line following the sql statement rather than directly after. This would enable me to start typing at the start of the next line without having to check if a semicolon had been added to the preceding line.
Example:
Select * From Table
Where A = 1; -- Semicolon added by formatting
Order By A9 votesThis feature is now included in the new SQL Prompt 8.0. For additional information see: http://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SP8/SQL+Prompt+8.0+release+notes

Shortcut for Switching Styles
Can you add "choose style" or "switch style" to the commands section, as a drop down, so that it can be added to the SQL PROMPT toolbar? Or possibly as a hot key menu option?
I switch styles often. There's the style I like to work in, a style suited for debugging, and the style that management likes the code to be posted with (in TFS.) Being able to switch between them is very helpful. but, going to SQL Prompt --> Options --> Styles --> Selecting Style "with the mouse" is time consuming.
Thanks for your consideration!

Exclude Identity Field From Auto Generated Insert/Values Code For Table Variables
If a table variable or temp table has an identity field, I do not think this field should show up in the auto generated insert into/values list:

INSERT INTO @Table
( [TableId] -- This field show not show up by default in the insert list
, [Data] )
VALUES ( 0 -- TableId - int -> This field show not show up by default in the insert values list

Remove Red Gate toolbar
This is an old problem that just won't go away.
The Red Gate toolbar that holds the SQL Prompt icons (Tab History, Add-ins, SQL Test, SQL Search) will not persist it's state in SSMS. You can move it, but it comes back to the same place on it's own row. You can delete it, but it comes back again.
Recommend (a) making the toolbar's state persistent in SSMS and (b) added a feature to the Options menu that allows the user to remove it.
Using SQL Prompt 6.4.0.678 on SSMS 11.0.5058.0 (2012).

Thanks for your help tracking this down! I’ve made a fix for the permission issue here:
http://download.red-gate.com/EAP/SSMSIntegrationPackFramework/SSMSIntegrationPackFramework_1.0.31.0.exe
Which should work without having to run as an administrator. We’ll look into getting this included in the SQL Search and Developer Bundle installers.Thanks,

Add a menu option to decrypt stored procedures
It would be useful to add an option to decrypt encrypted stored procedures and display the decrypted SQL in a query tab.
We often work with encrypted SP's on customer databases, but when there is a bug report, it is often hard to see what is going wrong.1 voteHi Dirk,
This is already available in the latest SQL Prompt. It’s on by default but just to double check it’s enabled for you, there’s a checkbox at the bottom of the behavior page in the options named “Decrypt encrypted objects”.

Add wildcards to tab coloring
Would be useful if tab coloring supported wildcards
eg *.sql = production
*.dev = development etc1 voteHi Nigel,
Wildcards are already supported for tab coloring in the latest version of Prompt. Just use a * for the wildcard in either the server or database column on the tab color options page. If you’re having any problems with this, please send me an email: aaron.law@red-gate.com

Inserting the AS keyword for aliases
It would be nice if one could click a button and get the AS keyword between an object name and its alias. This would help with code that doesn't use AS to separate the two. And would also help readability.

Add Comment Block to Surround With choices
Can you add a comment block /* */ to the Surround With choices? It would be of great use.
I also like the idea of adding Surround With options to the snippet editor where one could specify the before and after.
The example one person gave was Surround With ISNull( <highlighted column> ,0)

"d" in "order by" should prompt with "desc", not "dbcc"
Currently if you type a query like this:
select *
from sys.objects o
order by o.name d[CURSOR]the popup consists of dbcc, deallocate, declare, delete, deny, desc, disable trigger, drop, dump.
While that is probably technically accurate, it would be much more helpful to make "desc" the first entry in the list, because it's what I'm typing 100% of the time.

Better SQLXML Support....
SQL XML is a great tool that gets very little support. When I am on an XML type variable...the intellisense isn't great....AT ALL. Doing something like:
declare @xml XML;
set @xml = '<Tests><Test><Id>1</Id></Test></Tests>';select @xml.value --This doesn't have intellisense. It will try to capitalize .value to .VALUE which isn't correct.
So better SQL XML support would be nice.

In your example “value” will be suggested and left as lowercase in the latest version of Prompt 6. If you’re still having problems even on the latest version please contact support as you may have hit a bug.

RECEIVE statement - Format SQL ignores
;
RECEIVE TOP(1)
@h = conversationhandle,
@t = messagetypename,
@b = messagebody
FROM SimpleQueueTargetFrom the Service Broker Workbench on Simple Talk.
It only moves the semicolon to a separate line. No errors. Ignores "comma at start".
And, yes, the @'s above probably start in column 1, when they're actually in col 5.

Auto complete/intellisense suggestions using PIVOT
Using PIVOT the wrong alias is suggested in the intellisense window as it is the alias from the FROM clause, not the PIVOT clause that is displayed.
The same goes for the auto complete, where field names is (automatically) prefixed with the wrong alias (I know this feature can be disabled...)
Ex:[code]CREATE TABLE dbo.tbTest(
Id INT,
foo VARCHAR(3),
bar FLOAT
)
GO
INSERT INTO dbo.tbTest
VALUES (1, 'foo', 2)
, (2, 'bar', 3)
, (3, 'foo', 4)

SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tbTest AS tt
) pvt

MAX(bar) FOR foo IN ([foo], [bar])
