"Insert Semicolons" feature should add Semicolon after "BEGIN"
When using a BEGIN/END block, the "Insert Semicolons" feature adds a semicolon after "END" command, but not after the "BEGIN" command.
One reason why this should be done, is the use of the THROW statement, which requires the previous statement to be terminated with a semicolon.
Technically it is still runnable code, but, SSMS (as of version 18.8) sees it as a syntax error (see screenshot).
I don't know which is the appropriate fix...waiting for SSMS to fix the syntax error it shows (but I doubt they will since the non-use of semicolons is deprecated), or if it's appropriate for…

Do not auto complete literal strings
Currently SQL Prompt displays suggestions for auto-completing literal strings. These are never valid suggestions so can this be turned off (or at least have an option to turn this off)?

Copy results as Markdown Table
When right-clicking in the results tab, SQL Prompt should offer the posibility to copy the results as a table with markdown formatting (for Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange network). See https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/356997/feature-preview-table-support for the syntax.

Option / Action to remove square brackets from types
I prefer types without square brackets ( INT vs [INT], for example).
If using square brackets for identifiers in the format options, there is no quick way to remove these.
My work-around is -
1. Apply Format Style option "Add/remove brackets + Remove Unnecessary brackets"
2. Format the block of code
3. Apply format Style option "Add/remove brackets + Add brackets to all identifiers"
4. Format the block of code
5. restore format Style option to original choiceIt would be nice to have a single action to do this, or to have a separate option in format styles to…

Suggest casting to match data types in joins
In a large query, it can be a hassle to check every join to make sure the data types match up exactly (for example, nvarchar(50) <-> varchar(100)). These differences can have huge impacts on query performance in some circumstances, or lead to confusing results if data types are converted in an unexpected way. A suggestion to call out boolean statements comparing mismatched data types could be extremely useful.

Add possibility to make snippet for "GROUP BY 'by all non-aggregated columns'"
I use GROUP BY only for 'by all non-aggregated columns' in 99% of cases. I've created snippet for GROUP BY (gb) and then I pick this option from the intellisense menu. It would be nice to have possibility to have snippet that would add these 'all non-aggregated columns' automatically most probably by adding new variable.

Custom Formatting and Refactoring (API)
I would like to expand upon suggestions others have made regarding adding custom formatting and analyzers.
I have recently been trying to implement SQL Prompt for our team, and I have struggles with a lack of customization, opinionated options that don’t reflect our needs, and some bugs.
What would have solved this issue for me would have been the ability to add custom formatters and custom analyzers.Custom Formatters
Since SQL Prompt gets the position of tokens from IAlignmentProvider.FinalAlignmentForToken I suggest that the API couple simply be plumbed into this method, if a plugin is attached it would call the…3 votes -
SQL Prompt Setting Sharing
Provide an easier way to share SQLPrompt (snippet/code formatting/settings).
Like give us 2 (or more) folders to connect to, rather than one, 1 for the default items (make them read only, but optional?) Then directories for items you write for personal use, then one or more for team shares.
I share common ones with team, but they don't need my changes, or some I use for personal uses (like formatting code for a book, or snippets for features we don't use)
Right now, I have started using naming conventions to copy out team items to put into Source Control to…

Tab History, wrong server
After doing multiple server migrations, if you open something in tab history that was for one of the previous servers. Sometimes an implicit connection to the server is still used despite not being connected to that server in Object Explorer. This has caused us to have to troubleshoot something that wasn't working anymore when it fact it is just because the connection was the old server. This forces us to copy the SQL statements to Notepad then open a new window and past so that the connection is set to the connected to server. Some kind of warning of this…

SQL Prompt does not think PERSIST_SAMPLE_PERCENT is valid
PERSIST_SAMPLE_PERCENT is a new feature in SQL Server 2016 SP1 CU4.
SQL Prompt does not think this is a valid UPDATE STATISTICS statement:
UPDATE STATISTICS dbo.MyTable(MyStat)
WITH FULLSCAN, PERSIST_SAMPLE_PERCENT = ON;It is valid and the correct syntax. SQL Prompt should be updated to format this correctly.

install
Would LOVE SQL Prompt to do a silent upgrade, without the need to "promote" admin privledges, nor close Visual Studio / SSMS. Love the upgrades, but they are frequent, and the installation process is disruptive.

Custom Rank Suggestions
Could see there are ranked suggestions, which is good.
Can we take this to next level by letting user add custom ranking to suggestions to see those we rank always at the top but with a requirement that you need to enter at least a single letter so that your custom suggestions starting with that letter would be the first in order of display.Thanks!

Format SQL Backup to URL with credential breaks code
Formatting a SQL batch which contains
BACKUP DATABASE Databasename
TO URL = N'URL'
WITH CREDENTIAL = N'Credential'leads to
BACKUP DATABASE Databasename
TO URL = N'URL'
WITH AS CREDENTIAL = N'Credential'the AS between with and credential is wrong.
Please fix :-)

Remove PE019 (Consider using EXISTS instead of IN), or allow it to be disabled
Following the suggestions of rule PE019 (Consider using EXISTS instead of IN) leads to performance issues, by creating correlated subqueries. Even the documentation of the rule admits that there is no longer a performance benefit of doing what is suggested. Please remove the rule or allow the rule to be disabled across a team. At the moment, the disabling of rules is done per developer, and a developer who did not know to switch off this rule, followed the advice, creating a performance problem.

CTE column list formatted like the columns in the AS list
