  1. It would great if there was an un-format SQL command, which would basically un-format the SQL by removing all the carriage returns, tabs, extra spaces, etc. I know it seems odd, but we have several applications that use the SQL via external files, so the formatting will not work, and we end up manually removing all the formatting.

  3. I find that in longer stored procedures, declared variables often don't show up as I start to type them. E.g. typing @ towards the beginning of the sp shows me a list of the variables, however if I'm further down in the proc, they ofter are not listed.

  4. So you could highlight a column and surround it with isnull() for example.
    Or surround a sql query and surround it with begin and end.

  7. Hows about Code sniffing? For checking code compliance with user defined standards. Like checking column names conform to a defined standard, warnings on bad practices etc. You know all those little annoying things like no clustered index, use of cursors instead of set based ops, use of Select * or of Insert into tableA values (a,b,c).

    All driven by user defined rules? With larger dev teams the standards docs always left to the side. If it could work on input and in some sort of batch mode (on sql source control check in?) it would be nice.

    I've been looking…

  8. It would be greate if you could make an option to Execute current statement/block/all staments from top to current stament (current=where the cursor located) when clicking Ctrl + Alt + F5/Ctrl + Shift + F5/Alt + Shift + F5.
    So, if the the cursor located in a the middle of long script, and I'm clicking Ctrl + Alt + F5 it will execute the currnt statment like if I would have select the current statement and click F5.
    Same for Ctrl + Shift + F5 and Current block and for Alt + Shift + F5 and all staments from top…

  9. Provide an option to not indent the FROM and WHERE clauses to remain them lined up with the SELECT clause while maintaining a single space after each clause.

    We’ve released SQL Prompt 6 which includes support for 2012 analytic functions (LEAD, LAG, CUME_DIST, etc)

  11. Allow users to specify how CTEs should be formatted. Right now I get:

    WITH cte
    AS (
    SELECT
    Title
    ,FirstName
    ,LastName
    FROM
    isales.dbo.salesteam
    )
    SELECT
    Title
    ,FirstName
    ,LastName
    FROM
    cte

    What I would like is:

    WITH cte
    AS
    (
    SELECT
    Title
    ,FirstName
    ,LastName
    FROM
    MyTable
    )
    SELECT
    Title
    ,FirstName
    ,LastName
    FROM
    cte

  12. When an IF is short and does not have a BEGIN END on it, have it format to a single line.

    Right now if you have

    IF @Parameter1 = 0
    RETURN -1
    IF @Parameter2 = 0
    RETURN -2

    I would like it to be:

    IF @Parameter1 = 0 RETURN -1
    IF @Parameter2 = 0 RETURN -2

    which would make it more compact.

  13. Intellisense does not seem to recognize variables declared within the current stored proc. This would be helpful.

  14. Intellisense should pop up when a character is added after table is selected so when there is a table named SalesOrderLine it should be suggested even after the table SalesOrder was chosen via tab if i type further without a space.

    The latest version of SQL Prompt (6.3) should show the suggestions again once you type the “L” after SalesOrder

  15. When using default values for INSERT can you display GETDATE() instead of getting the current date and displaying that?

  16. When using a variable of a user defined table type, make intellisense smart enough to recognize the data type and provide the columns similar to if it were an actual table.

  18. Had this with SSMS Tools Pack but upon migrating to 2012 I ditched it in favor of SQL Prompt. The only thing I'm missing is a log of my Query History, time-stamped and searchable.

  19. Double clicking a word hightlights all instances of that word. This makes it easier to see where the word is used. Good for particularly long scripts.
    Double clicking a table, column, function, view etc. highlights all in your script.

  20. Small suggestion, but I would find this useful!

    When hovering over a column you get a balloon that states:

    [Table Name].[Column Name] [Data Type] (column)

    If this could include 'NULL' or 'NOT NULL' this would be super :-)
    Possibily even more, such as default values or identity status?

    [Table Name].[Column Name] [Data Type] [NULL/NOT NULL] (column)

    SQL Prompt is an excellent bit of kit, top work guys!
