  2. It would be appreciated if you could enhance the SqlPrompt Formatting Styles functionality. I believe this would go in the STATEMENTS >>> Data (DML) section.

    I'd like to continue using the "If there are multiple expressions" item of the "Place GROUP BY / ORDER BY expression on new line" drop-down. But I'd like those expressions to be indented; they presently all left-align to the GROUP BY.

    Also, while you're there, it seems that it would be good to also have add an "If longer than wrap column" option to the above-mentioned drop-down.

  5. It would be very useful to be able produce where clause from copied horizontal selection from the results grid. For example from the uploaded image, where clause should be

    WHERE CTA.TRANSACTIONDATE = '2021-06-27'
    AND CTA.TRANSACTION
    TYPECODE = 52
    AND CTA.ITEM
    CODE = 1500012200
    AND CTA.ITEMBARCODE = '8001841964966'
    AND CTA.YOUR
    COMPANYCR = 104183
    AND CTA.OTHER
    ENTITY_CR = 46084

  7. The current parenthesis options I have set for an INSERT INTO (DML) statement, only appear to work for the list of columns, but NOT for the list of values in the VALUE clause. I'm unsure why this behaviour is different, but this inconsistency seems like a bug.

    I have provided a screenshot where you can clearly see the parentheses are not aligned correct in comparison with the INSERT statement.

    Ultimately I would like for the formatting to be overall consistent.

  8. At the moment a user is warned before executing a potentially dangerous operation.
    However, junior devs might accidentally just press enter without thinking twice.
    Please add functionality to PROHIBIT execution besides WARNING (like SSMS Boost has) so that junior devs can't make mistakes at all.
    It would be fantastic if this would be possible.

  10. In cases where there is SELECT DISTINCT or SELECT TOP(n) .. I would l like the option to format my table's columns to appear on the next line and indented 1 tab or set of spaces in from the SELECT and not necessarily aligned with DISTINCT or TOP in the line above.

    SELECT DISTINCT
    COLUMN1,
    COLUMN2
    FROM ...

    instead of

    SELECT DISTINCT
    Column1,
    Column2
    FROM ...

  11. Automatically insert a snippet as soon as you start a New Query in SSMS. I want all my developers to always start every script with a comment block with their username, date and a description of what the script is supposed to do. A shared snippet is already handy for this, but adding this could make it easier to build that habit for new team members.

  12. F12 to Script views and stored procedures as ALTER is one of my favorite features. I would love it if F12 when I am on a table generates a CREATE TABLE script for that table.

  13. I have included a Sample SQL script. This script shows the desired formatting. I can't find any way to prevent the OPENJSON from being sent to a new line. For example:

    SELECT *
    FROM OPENJSON(@JSON, '$.Doc') AS OJ
    CROSS APPLY OPENJSON(OJ.Value)
    WITH (ID int) AS CAOJ

    becomes

    SELECT *
    FROM OPENJSON(@JSON, '$.Doc') AS OJ
    CROSS APPLY
    OPENJSON(OJ.Value)
    WITH ( ID INT ) AS CAOJ

  15. "Script as INSERT" creates an INSERT script with a tempt table, but instead it should script the current used table.
    In that way you can easily write scripts to synchronize your data between different environments.

  18. It would be very handy if there was a way when you open a server in Object Explorer that it pops up with notes about that server. For instance, there is a job we have on EVERY server in our environment except one random server that no one hardly thinks about. But if that job is there, then it messes up things. It would be great if when anyone on our team who has redgate sql prompt opens that server they get a reminder that we add on there that says some special note (in this case “DO NOT ADD…

  19. Have Formal SQL Actions be included in the formatting style file. This way when a team shared a standard we do not have to share the file and screen shots of the Options menu to manually sync to maintain team consistency on code checkin.

  20. Currently in Visual Studio the option to "Enclose identifiers within square brackets []" option will be set to true on startup requiring a user to turn it off every time they load Visual Studio.

    This option when set to false should remain that way even after a restart of Visual Studio the same way it does in SSMS.
