    Thank you for your suggestion.

    Ideally, we’d love to respond individually to every request, but currently we can’t due to the volume of unanswered tickets. We’re clearing up our UserVoice backlog to make it easier for us as a small team to prioritize the most valuable features moving forward. Therefore, due to a lack of recent interest in this ticket, we have decided to close it.

    If you feel strongly about it, we encourage you to create a new request.

    Thanks,

  2. Would be useful to be able to choose a selection of Invalid objects and generate a Drop script for them all.

  5. give the option to encapsulate a piece of code like a subquery into a view so it can be reused , and give an option to create indexes on the resulting views as to max speed to the query

  7. So many times during the day, I find myself in executing SELECT DISTINCT on a column, just to find all the unique values in the database. It would be a great shortcut if I could just right click on a column and the SQL statement would be automatically generated.

  8. When a SELECT statement is short, for example fits on one line on my screen I would like for the SELECT to not be formatted onto multiple lines. This could even apply to the parts of the SELECT if the entire SELECT statement is long. For example a WHERE statement with only two short clauses could be one line.

  9. A new Format->Data Statement option for when SELECT * FROM is used that keeps it on the SELECT and FROM on the same line.

  10. The first use case that comes to mind would be to highlight all unindexed fields. This would make optimization an easier task. The type of highlight could be customizable such as a colored squiggle line underneath (like ms word) or an earmark tag. A quick toggle of all highlights on/off would be nice.

    To reduce clutter, a simpler option would be to show indexes on hover of the field.

  11. When you have a table in a FROM clause that is aliased, but the table doesn't exist, or is a temp table where the creation isn't in the script or is commented out SQL Prompt doesn't even include the alias as a suggestion. I think it should.

    You can see my example in this forum post: http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/viewtopic.php?p=46775#46775

  12. I'd like an option under data statements --> Subqueries to be able to drop sub-queries starting on a new line like in section Schema Statements --> New lines.

    Example:
    SELECT
    [pgp].[patientid]
    FROM
    [dbo].[PTGEPATIENT] AS pgp
    WHERE
    [PATIENTID] NOT IN (SELECT
    patientid
    FROM
    [dbo].[PTAPALCOHOL] AS paa)

    would become

    SELECT
    [pgp].[patientid]
    FROM
    [dbo].[PTGEPATIENT] AS pgp
    WHERE
    [PATIENTID] NOT IN (
    SELECT
    patientid
    FROM
    [dbo].[PTAPALCOHOL] AS paa
    )

  13. The auto-create alias function is a nice feature, but it does not apply to when I want to open an existing script and apply my formatting/refactoring options. Instead the object name becomes the alias name.

    For consistency and readability, I'd like to see an option to assign aliases for objects with none even if not typed and using the intellisense features.

  14. At the moment, only 4 options are available in the [Options] -> [Tabs & Wrapping] -> [Characters per line] option. The value can also be changed manually by direct editing of the xml options file but it would be much smarter if you use an editable dropdown box here (so user could pick one of the four values OR key in his/her own value).

  15. I often use fully qualified oject names in code, but then want to alias them just by the table name e.g.

    Accounts.dbo.PurchaseOrder as PurchaseOrder

    Without having to add all my tables to the custom alias list, I think this represents a useful alternative to simply first letter (or capitalised letters).

    Others may have alternative naming schemes, but as long as it can be defined generically enough, I think Prompt should have these built in

  16. we can see disassembled code converted in various languages using .net reflector. I'm thinking about a tool into right click menu that converts the complex selects into linq statements to copy and paste into visual studio.
