  1. Opening over 2500 code objects to set a baseline format, required by a large customer, is a daunting manual task.

    Many of Red Gate's tools provide command-line functionality.

    Please add it to Prompt so we can bulk (re)format SPs, UDFs, Triggers. Integration into the commit-path (we use SVN) would be ideal for standardized check-ins (Commits).

    Can't recall whether a style is exportable... (License key awaited at new employer) Should be able to point to UNC location for the style to use.

  2. 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.

  3. I found several feature requests concerning synonym support on the Red Gate forums: It was always put on the feature request list, but SQL Prompt still lacks support for synonyms.
    Explanation: Synonym resolution support is crucial for us, since our database design and development strategy completely relies on them. We use synonyms for everything that is out of current database context. So we develop as if every used object was within current database. It's annoying to type an object name that is in fact a synonym - and SQL Prompt does not display auto-completion for the object itself nor for…

    We’ve released SQL Prompt 6 which includes full synonym support.

  4. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. I wish there where a shortcut/command to change a statement like

    INSERT INTO Mytable(Id,Code,Label) VALUES (@Id,@Code,@Label)

    in

    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Id=@Id, Code=@Code, Label =@Label

    Even if it looks trivial on this statement, doing it with a table with 10+ Columns might be cumbersome.

  8. It would be nice, if the suggestions list for GROUP BY would include all the all the not aggregated SELECT list columns first.
    For ORDER BY, all the columns/aliases or their ordinal, and add checkbox for ASC/DESC.

  9. I would like to suggest a ranking feature when the suggestions list appears. At my place of work, if I want to select out of the customer table I will often type 'cu' then tab the rest. However this is the snippet for creating a user. This is also useful when many tables begin with the same prefix, but one is used far more often than others. With ranking, the more an object is used, the higher up the list it will appear, like browser history entries in Firefox for instance. This would reduce the number of keystrokes necessary and…

  11. 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.

  12. I'd like to be able to configure a style for CASE statements using options like the following:

    • New line after THEN
    • New line before ELSE
    • New line after ELSE
    • ELSE match indent of CASE
    • END match indent of CASE

    It would also be nice to have a threshold setting (in number of characters) so the formatting settings are only applied if the length of a CASE statement exceeds the threshold.

  13. Add a functionality of disabling SQL Prompt auto-formatting feature for blocks of code. Use SQL comments for 100% sql compatibility. Example:

    SELECT 1, 2, 3
    --<SQLPROPMT disable>
    select 4, 5, 6
    --</SQLPROPMT>
    select 7,8,9

    in the code above, the first and third statements would be auto-formatted but not the second one.

    It would be especially useful for very long scripts where a single formatting template is not an option.

  14. If I had the table [Address] that had the columns StreetAddress1, StreetAddress2, City, State and ZipCode defined and the following existing code was formatted:

    SELECT streetaddress1,
    streetaddress2,
    CITY,
    zipcode
    FROM [address]

    I would like to see SQL Prompt match the case of the underlying object such that the results after formatting would be:

    SELECT StreetAddress1,
    StreetAddress2,
    City,
    ZipCode
    FROM [Address]

    This should apply to all underlying objects (procedures [name and parameters], tables [columns, index names (used in hints), etc., functions and views; and anything else I forgot). It should also apply to variables defined within a procedure (e.g. DECLARE @MyValue…

  15. I'm finding my comments are hanging out all on their own after the rest of my code is formatted. I would request a feature to allow comments to indent to the same level as the code on the line below.

  17. In Format --> Tabs & Wrapping there is no option to keep and actual TAB character, instead a tab is converted to the user configurable number of spaces.

    This one is especially important for me because we have other code checking for TABS not (2,3,4,6,8) spaces. I now need to run a powershell script to convert the spaces back to a TAB.

    Would be great to allow TABS to remain as TABS.

    We’ve released SQL Prompt 6 which includes support for tabs.

  18. In order for the braces/parenthesis highlighting to work currently, you must run the native Intellisense feature in SSMS, which creates some issues with SQL Prompt. If this were written in as part SQL Prompt, we'd be able to turn off Intellisense completely.

  20. When a --#TODO: or --#HACK is written on our code, it could be helpful to highlight it in order to give an alert to the reader. In addition it can be very helpful to let the user to configure the pattern (i.e. --#MyTerm).

    We’ve released support for highlighting TODOs in version 9 of SQL Prompt as part of its new code analysis feature.

    You can get the latest version of SQL Prompt from https://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/.

    We’re marking this request as completed, but if you feel strongly about being able to configure the term, please feel free to open a new suggestion.

    Kind regards,

    The Prompt Team
