make update notification window resizable or autosize with Windows zoom
I like to use the Windows zoom feature to make text bigger. (Not the dpi size feature, but rather the text size feature listed above the dpi setting.)
With this increased, I cannot see the links in Red Gate update notification windows. I'll open SSMS and get a notification for prompt that I am running 1.0.7 and the latest version is 1.0.8. There is a details link that allows me to upgrade. I can also upgrade by downloading the latest version of the tools from the Red Gate web site.
However, for minor upgrades, I often skip the upgrade process…

Show Code Window Even if Schema is Missing
When I scroll over an object *table, view, function, stored procedure), SQL Prompt typically displays a tooltip that describes what the object is (e.g. Table). I can click on the tooltip and see a script of the object.
However, if I have not included the schema, then I do not get the tooltip, but rather a warning that "Schema name for table or view is not specified" and I am not able to view the object code without either disabling that alert or adding the schema name.
While it may be advantageous to have this rule enabled, it would also…

HoverOver Popup Incorrect
Using SSMS 21.4.8 and SQL Prompt 11.0.6.17341.
Using a derived select to retrieve data then derive select that to change the data types then a third derived select to present the data.
In the inner most SELECT, the fields OrderID and OrderItemID are Integer in both the the Microsoft and SQL Prompt HoverOver popups.
In the outer most SELECT, the OrderID and OrderItemID are Varchar in the Microsoft HoverOver popup but Integer in the SQL Prompt HoverOver popups.
Also in the outer most SELECT, down in the ORDER BY, they show differently hovering over between the Microsoft and SQL prompt…

Keyword KEEP_CDC not recognized in RESTORE statement
Add support for the KEEP_CDC keyword. Example:
RESTORE DATABASE MyDB FROM DISK = N'\\SOMEWHERE\MyDB_FULLBACKUP1.BAK' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'MyDB_DATA' TO N'M:\SQLData1\SQL_DATABASE\MyDB.MDF', MOVE N'MyDB_LOG' TO N'M:\SQLLogs1\SQL_DATABASE\MyDB_LOG.LDF', RECOVERY, REPLACE, STATS = 1, KEEP_CDC, NEW_BROKER, RESTRICTED_USERCurrently the formatting process errors out.

Automate replacing variables with literals for troubleshooting stored procedures
Quite often when troubleshooting a stored procedure, it is helpful to step through it and run each statement individually. In stored procedures that take parameters, though, you need to manually swap out the variable name for a test value in each statement, or put variable declarations and sets in front of each statement.
It would be convenient if SQL Prompt could automate this process. It could check for parameters, prompt the user to provide values for them, then do the variable-to-literal substitution throughout the code. It could then provide an easy way to reverse the change to support committing the…

exclude suggestions
SQL Prompt includes a feature to exclude specific databases – in this case, the master database – we would expect this functionality to reliably prevent any interaction with the excluded databases during code suggestions or IntelliSense operations. The current behavior suggests that the exclusion option may not be functioning as intended.
We expect that when an exclusion is defined, no connection attempt should be made to the excluded database. This would allow all other user databases to be loaded, even if with limited functionality.

Set preferences for automatically numbering new queries
New queries, as users know, have an automatic naming and numbering system:
SQLQuery1.sql, SQLQuery2.sql, SQLQuery3.sql, etc.It would be helpful sometimes if the queries could have leading zeros or maybe even a different lead-in like the name of the solution. For example, SQLSolutionABC might have the default tab names:
SQLSolutionABC001.sql, SQLSolutionABC002.sql, SQLSolutionABC003.sql, etc.

Allow typing from table then tab to convert it to Select | from dbo.table
Allow typing from table then tab to convert it to Select | from dbo.table and end up with the cursor after the from, to start typing. Now we have to write select * from table, then go back to the columns. A simple improvement.

Modify Code Analysis to show able definition instead of blocking it
When I have Code Analysis enabled the mouse over shows the Code Analysis finding if there is something that isn't breaking a rule. However, this also makes it so that I can't see the normal mouseover behavior of an object. The only way I can see the object definition that would normally show up is if I disable Code Analysis. The only way I can do this by going in and temporarily disabling Code Analysis. Is there some way to make this more intuitive? Maybe if there is a Code Analysis finding you could show the code analysis finding and…

sub
I would like to be able to check a box and always indent a sub-query.
currently formatting a query works like this:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tbl1 AS a
INNER JOIN(SELECT ID FROM dbo.tbl2 WHERE value = 'y') AS b ON a.id = b.idwhen the paren is set to inline the open paren and indent the content with the indent parentheses contents checked. I would rather have a checkbox to force the sub-query to format like this:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.tbl1 AS a
INNER JOIN (
SELECT ID
FROM dbo.tbl2
WHERE value = 'y'
) AS b ON a.id =…1 vote -
Allow indentation similar to nested JOIN when they are not written as nested
A nested join is indented additionally relative to the join that it is nested within:
SELECT *
FROM Person.Address
--INNER JOIN Person.StateProvince
----INNER JOIN Sales.SalesTerritory
------ON SalesTerritory.TerritoryID = StateProvince.TerritoryID
----ON StateProvince.StateProvinceID = Address.StateProvinceIDWhen joining the same tables but not writing them in a nested manner, there is no additional indentation:
SELECT *
FROM Person.Address
--INNER JOIN Person.StateProvince
----ON StateProvince.StateProvinceID = Address.StateProvinceID
--INNER JOIN Sales.SalesTerritory
----ON SalesTerritory.TerritoryID = StateProvince.TerritoryIDIt would be nice to allow the same amount of indentation that would be used if the join were nested to be used when it is not nested:
SELECT *
FROM…1 vote -
Separate VALUES style by first/subsequent
It would be nice to have an option to specify different styles when there is one set of VALUES compared to multiple. For example, I would like to use "Compact, indented) when there are multiple sets of VALUES:
INSERT INTO Employees
( id
, FirstName
, LastName
, BirthDate )
VALUES
( 2
, 'Jane'
, 'Doe'
, GETDATE())
, ( 3
, 'Frederico'
, 'James'
, GETDATE());But compact when there is only one set of VALUES:
INSERT INTO Employees
( id
, FirstName
, LastName
, BirthDate )
VALUES
( 2
, 'Jane'
, 'Doe'

Make Import / Export of options more flexible (xml file format or enable partial export of sections)
I would like to be able to export (+import) only specific portions of the options.
So that I - for instance - may only distribute my aliases or my coding style options to the team; not everything. The current binary format for the export file only allows for an all-or-nothing approach.
So please
(A) Make the export file a xml-format, so we can filter it ourselves
or
(B) Add a dialog to allow us to mark the sections to be included into the export file via checkboxesThis would also likely solve other feature-requests:

Format SQL & Entity Framework — making EF SQL easily readable
I have the misfortune of trying to read an EF query. It would be extremely helpful if the «Format SQL» function in SQL Prompt could greatly reduce the verbosity and make the massively nested queries much, much easier to read.
This is what I am doing by hand:
• Replacing names like 'Extent6' with letters of the alphabet. I will go back later and replace these letters with more helpful names. Because the aliases of the table-valued objects are so long, so is there so much more text to plough through;
• Removing aliases from columns whose names are identical.…

When setting tab colors, allow/disallow the status bar to mirror the tab color
I am color-blind and while tab coloring isn't as big an issue, the real estate of the status bar and font size makes certain color schemes that I use on tabs VERY difficult to read. I would love an option to select whether the tab color propagates to the status bar and possibly even separately set a different "default" color for the status bar. I know some have requested the status bar mirror the tab color but some of us color-challenged developers would rather not have that option. Note, the "default" color could be consistent across all environments rather than…
