Automatic Alias from Table Name
(5 previous votes)
Rather than individually defining aliases per table, add an option to use capitalised letters of tables/views to define an alias.
eg.
Customer = C
mem_Membership = Mcus_StateCustomer = SC
aReallyLongTableName = RLTN
view_CustomerMembership = CM

AND keyword for WHERE and JOINs on new line
There is no option in CLAUSES > JOIN to place AND on new line (Right aligned to INNER) and in Data (DML) there isn't an option to put AND on new line. Lots of tables I join on I am joining on 2 columns and I prefer to have the AND a.col1 = b.col1 on a new line as well.

SQL Prompt -> Tab History -> add datetime stamp column
Currently it shows the filename and servername, but it would really help to have the datetime of when it was executed. Sorting the columns would be an added benefit as well.

Inconsistently Advised to Use Alias For CTE (ST010)
Simple statements do not flag this:
WITH CTE1 AS (SELECT TestColumn FROM dbo.TestTable)
SELECT a.TestColumn FROM CTE1 a
INNER JOIN CTE1 b ON a.TestColumn = b.TestColumn;However, more complex statements do:
WITH CTE1 AS (SELECT TestColumn FROM dbo.TestTable),
CTE2 AS (SELECT TestColumn FROM CTE1),
CTE3 AS (SELECT TestColumn FROM CTE2)
SELECT CTE3.TestColumn FROM CTE3
INNER JOIN CTE2 ON CTE3.TestColumn = CTE2.TestColumn;In the final select clause, both CTE2 and CTE3 are flagged with 'Use alias for all table sources' (ST010).
Seems a bit OTT to suggest references to CTEs are aliased? I accept that a CTE defines, in relational terms,…

Show SELECT INTO within the Summarize Script pane
Within the Summarize Script pane, it would be helpful to differentiate between a SELECT statement (which returns output to the user) and a SELECT INTO statement (which creates a table and loads data into it).

MS_Description supporting hyperlink when SQL Prompt is showing the tooltip
I'm currently working on a database with some really complex calculations which are saved then in a table. Putting these formula in the MSDescription is a pain as it cannot be shown correctly in the appearing tooltip text.
A nice Feature would be that I'm able to add a Hyperlink in the MSDescription which is pointing to the document in our SharePoint Server (or Wiki or whereever...).
Or - if this is not working, would it be possible to define a Special RedGate Attribute/Property (e.g. MSDescriptionRedGate) below the MSDescription which is containing a hyperllink and this…4 votes -
Change quote completion behavior within Openquery or dynamic SQL strings
I really like auto quote completion, but when I am working with an openquery statement or dynamic sql where I am having to escape quotes by doubling them up, I find myself fighting the "helpful" behavior of quote completion either refusing to add a second quote or it adds too many quotes.
So, my suggestion is that the quote completion feature check to see if you are trying to add quotes within a quoted string and change its behavior to either not do quote completion or to (even better) automatically add escaped quotes.To illustrate the problem and my proposed…

Align column aliases, but only up to a configurable MAX point
The alias alignment is a nice feature that improves the readability of the formatted SQL. Still, it sometimes gets lost too far to the right when the selected column values include things like SQL functions and column names. In those cases, the alignment of the column aliases can require scrolling to the right to see them with a great amount of whitespace between the column name and the aliases and they thus become a detriment to the readability of the SQL.
It would be great if we could configure a max number of spaces to align the aliases before which…

Intellisense for system stored procedure parameter values
For system stored procedures, some parameters have a predefined set of possible values, e.g.
msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstephas the parameter@on_success_action.The MS documentation lists this predefined list of possible values:
1 (Default) Quit with success
2 Quit with failure
3 Go to next step
4 Go to step@on_success_step_idIt would be great if Intellisense could suggest values for these sorts of parameters, saving a trip to Microsoft's website.

CTE on new line with commas before items is adding an extra line
When using the Lists > "Place commas before items" combined with the CTE >" Place CTE name on a new line" options, the subsequent CTEs are getting placed on new lines after the comma is already on a new line, resulting in:
WITH
myCte
AS ( SELECT 1 a )
,
mySecondCte
( Col1, Col2 )
AS ( SELECT
'Test' AS ThisIsAColumn
, 'Test2' AS ThisIsAnotherColumn
FROM Person.BusinessEntityContact )
SELECT *
FROM myCteI believe this combination of settings should be resulting in:
WITH
myCte
AS ( SELECT 1 a )
, mySecondCte
( Col1, Col2 )
AS ( SELECT…3 votes -

Add a feature for the formatting styles for CASE expression.
Currently the formatting is so strange, it adds indents that don't make sense.
It should have the possibility to add CASE on a completely new line.Please add :Start expression on a new line or something…

SQL Prompt - More Granular Suggestion. WHERE AND / CASE AND
SQL Prompt - More Granular Suggestion. WHERE AND / CASE AND
Would you add a couple of settings that give users more granular control in formatting SQL Prompt, please?
In the CASE section, please add a section on how to handle Case AND statements, if we want the AND on a new line or the same line, and where to Align the AND.
Also, please add a checkbox to align any '=' signs, like CASE WHEN colA = 1 then 1 else. I'd like all = signs to line up when there are multiple WHEN statements.
Also, Please add a…

Formatting Styles should include Global Style parameters
Global formatting options like "Insert Semicolons", "Add brackets to all identifiers" etc should be part of a formatting style, this way changing a formatting style can also quickly switch between these options.
Currently even after changing a formatting style these options on the screenshot below had to be manually changed one by one, it's inefficient to say the least.3 votes -
AI
AI suggestions.
I'm not part of your AI program waiting list. However here what I suggest.
Do not make the AI part of your program an only cloud-based solution. There are plenty of opensource code models free for commercial use that can be ran locally on a PC. These models can also run under CPU but will up the memory to enable this feature requirements for AI on client side only. It's too dangerous for Redgate to store this information on the cloud even with a solid EULA, and laws are subject to change. Please offload this burden back to…

Open SQL History on startup / keep SQL History docked
I prefer opening SSMS with no tabs and use SQL History to navigate tab history. It would be great to have an option to open SQL History on startup and/or if SQL History is docked then redock SQL History on startup

Add a table alias as a prefix to selected column names
I would love an option where, after adding an alias to a table, you can add it as a prefix to all columns coming from that particular table at once.
Some keystroke like Ctrl + F2 would be nice.

Copy as IN clause" on a resultset - put results all on one line
With SQL Prompt, and selecting "Copy as IN clause" on a resultset, is it possible to format the result as all one line, like:
IN (1,2,3,4,5,6)
instead of what it does currently:
IN (
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6) ?
Having it all on one line makes a statement easier to read, when there are a lot of items in the list.

Add Trim() to LTRIM(RTRIM()) toggle
For those of us who have to move between current and older versions of SQL Server, provide a tool to toggle all TRIMS in a script to LTRIM(RTRIMS()) and vice versa to make it easier to adapt scripts when moving between server version.
Thanks,

Export snippets to text file
At times you do not always have the luxury to have SQL Prompt installed on all machines. Hence, it is extremely useful if snippets can be exported to a plain text file, so that at least one has the ability to retrieve the much needed sql scripts quickly via plain text files. It would be of great help if each snippet is exported to an individual text file that should be named like the snippet name.
