Support Tab Magic in SSMS 2012 ASAP
The VS-based "tool" is significantly less usable than SS2008R2. Tab Magic will significantly ease the pain of having to work with tabs in the limited manner SSMS2012 inflicts upon us, especially those of us livid over the loss of the MDI-mode!

Suggest only column names after a Table alias is typed in
If I have already typed in the alias name for a table, then suggestions after a period should always have the column names at the top. Sometimes, a code snippet shortcut or other unrelated item pops to the top of the list.
For example, if I am have typed in:
SELECT * FROM [sys].[tables] AS T
WHERE [T].isThen, the snippet for INFORMATIONSCHEMA shows at the top of the list. Since I already have put [T]., it should have the column names such as ismerged_published, etc. at the top of the list.

Support MERGE
SQL Prompt sometimes works on some parts, e.g., it will give a list of columns for MATCHED but only for the TARGET table, never the source... It also suggest tables when coding a list of columns for an INSERT or it quits making any suggestions at all. This is a very hit-and-miss situation and very frustrating.
As the MERGE statement has been around since SQL Server 2008, it's very surprising/disappointing that, considering MERGE to be a STANDARD part of the DB Engine, SQL Prompt is this far out of date... FOUR YEARS AND COUNTING...!
Please "get current" :-)

comment block
I would like a feature to place a hilited block of code into a comment block /**/ - rather than having inline comments (helps when capturing the running sql in monitoring tools)
4 votesThe latest version of SQL Prompt has the $SELECTEDTEXT$ placeholder which allows you to use the current text selection in your snippets. So to surround a selection with a comment block you could create a snippet similar to: /* $SELECTEDTEXT$ */

Please add a function key to reopen the sqlprompt box.
Here’s what’s happening: I am typing along and I hit space instead of tab which does not complete the fill in (I actually like this so I don’t want to add the space as a completion key). I would like a mappable key combination to get the prompt to re-open.
2 votesCtrl+Space will bring back the suggestion box, but also the latest build of Prompt will bring it back if you just continue typing after you left off (if you didn’t purposely hide it with esc)

SqlPrompt doesn't understand the Syntax of an update-statement when the table-to-be-updated is aliased
Hi!
Please consider this statement
update t1
set t1.value = t2.value
from Table1 t1
join Table2 t2
on t1.ID = t2.IDWhen you have the cursor in the set-block of the statement, SqlPrompt doesn't know what 't1' means and which columns t1 has.

SQL Tab Magic - Connection attempts
When loading management studio it would be great if tab magic could get a list of the required connections before the tabs are loaded and test each one silently to see if a connection would be possible (i.e. host is available) If the host is available then prompt for login once per host, if host is not available simply load the tab as not connected.
This would make the experience much nicer as at the moment if I had say 15 tabs open to a host that I am no able to connect to (I work on multiple sites) I…

SQL PROMPT 5 - Simple, but toggle indenting of else if statements
Allow the option to NOT indent else if statements. Each of the ELSE IF statements gets further indented and for large SQL it becomes indented off the screen. I can imagine this pattern could apply else where but for this specific use case our STPs that have this condition i simply can't format the sql because it requires me to horizontally scroll. Allowing me to disable indenting ELSE IF statements would solve this problem instantly.

SQL Tab Magic - Recently Closed Tabs navigation
When I click on 'Recently Closed Tabs' I get a window showing 20-ish closed tabs and their contents. If I resize the window, it fills with more, so I know that further history can be accessed.
I understand that the best way to find 'old' queries is to type in the search box to try and filter the history, but sometimes (and it is only sometimes) I just want to scroll down the history and see all the closed tabs. Not saying all the history should be loaded - I guess that would take a lot of memory, but it…

Format selected code
Formatting a section (selected code block) with CTRL+K, CTRL+Y). This would allow me to highlight a section of a proc and format it to my liking and leave the (abomination) of the proc body untouched.

Option to place Table names on the same line as the keyword
Currently, no matter what settings are applied, table names are always placed on a new line, for example:
SELECT
ID,
ThingFROM
TableNameJOIN
OtherTableName
ON blah=mooWHERE
something <> something elseMy personal preference is for:
SELECT
ID,
ThingFROM TableName
JOIN OtherTableName
ON blah=mooWHERE something <> something else
Please can we have an option to achieve table names on the same line as their action (FROM / JOIN)

Allow renaming of variables easily

Automatic semicolons
Include an option when reformatting SQL to automatically add semicolons at the end of each statement if they are missing.
While in most cases SQL Server 2005 and 2008 don't require this, the 2008 docs mention that a future version might.
and it may also be helpful if trying to move code from SQL Server 200x to a dialect which does require them.85 votesThis is included in SQL Prompt 6.4, which you can download from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/

Display the scale and precision (length) of data types like numeric and varchar in pop-up hint windows
Display the scale and precision (length) of data types like numeric and varchar in pop-up hint windows. This would be a very helpful feature to keep data types consistent throughout a database if one doesn't want to set up a user data type for each and every column that stores data types with additional parameters like, for instance, the scale and precision.

Line up type declarations
I would like an option to align the type declarations, for example when declaring the columns in a table variable I currently get:
DECLARE @MyExample TABLE
(
MyCol1 INT ,
MyOtherCol VARCHAR(10)
)Which I would quite like to see laid out as:
DECLARE @MyExample TABLE
(
MyCol1 INT ,
MyOtherCol VARCHAR(10)
)The same is true for all other places where I'm declaring, so the parameters for a procedure for example
