  2. It would be lovely to find other elements in the database that may not stop it from working right now but are 'problems waiting to happen'. Other examples might be to search for field names that clash with reserved terms.

  3. SQL History sorts files by modified date ASCENDING. Its needs to be DATE DESCENDING. Need options to sort by name or date, ASC or DESC. Like how TAB HISTORY used to.

  4. 'History for SQL Queryxxx' pane - there are too many versions. I don't need a version for every minor change. How about adding an option for how often to save versions?

  5. Hi there. Currently, SQL Prompt formats an invocation of a sproc like this:

    exec sproc @param1 = ?,
    @param2 = ?,
    @param3 = ?

    I'd like to be able to change this into:

    exec sproc
    @param1 = ?,
    @param2 = ?,
    @param3 = ?

    Thanks.

  6. I would like to be able to filter on more than one string in the Object Explorer of SSMS.
    For example, I only want to see views that contain “OKDim” or “SSISOK”. Now I can only filter on “OK”, which still results in a long list of views.

  7. Currently SQL Prompt only has one option for formatting insert statements which poses a problem for us with multi value set inserts.

    Ideally we'd be able to select a formatting for a single value set insert and another format for a multi value set insert.

    This would allow us to do something like this:

    -- Single Value Set Insert
    INSERT INTO TestTable (TestName,
    ~~~~TestValue,
    ~~~~TestDate)
    VALUES (N'Something',
    ~~~~140,
    ~~~~'1/1/2019')

    -- Multi Value Set Insert
    INSERT INTO TestTable (TestName, TestValue, TestDate)
    VALUES (N'Something', 140, '1/1/1900'),
    ~~~~(N'SomethingElse', 150, '1/2/1900'),
    ~~~~(N'SomethingElse2', 160, '1/2/2000')

    The issue for us is that we have need of…

  8. Add option to leave semicolon on same line if statement only use one line.

    My idea is an additional to the idea captured in the "semi colon placed on new line" request.

    It would be nice to have checkbox for the semicolon-on-new-line option to not move the semicolon to a new line if the statement is ONLY one line.

    For example:
    SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dbo.Table
    ;
    should be
    SELECT TOP 10 * FROM dbo.Table;
    instead, but
    SELECT TOP 10 *
    FROM dbo.Table
    ;
    will remain unchanged by formatting.

  9. The Tab Colouring system is brilliant, but I find that I am often working with more than one job at a time that are using the one Database. It would be of great benefit if I was able to Colour my Query Tabs based on which job they are for. i.e.: more than one colour available per Database.

  10. Allow an option in Summarize script to show summary by comments (for those of us that do a reasonable job of commenting code)! That would be more useful to a developer unfamiliar with specific complex code.

  11. After removing of SQL Code debugging features beginning with Management Studio 18, it would be quite welcome to have this feature in SQLPrompt.
    Other competitors are already providing debugging.

  13. Merge Command Formatting

    For MERGE commands there is no way to make the conditional requirements with 'ON' follow the same style as JOIN's ON. I noticed back on 5/17/2017 there was a closed 'Merge command formatting options' through the User Voice, stating that an experimental feature was available for SQL Prompt 7.4. What happened? In my 10.1.7.15015, within the formatting styles, there is no area for MERGE like there is for JOIN.

  14. Include a feature in formatting to include / exclude JOIN type.

    For Example
    LEFT OUTER JOIN would become LEFT JOIN and vice versa

    Not sure this is so useful on the INNER keyword but the OUTER would be useful where people have different styles but we want to standardise work.

  15. When typing SQL aliases are inserted automatically if configured. However when opening existing query from some other source it would be nice to execute an options to add missed aliases based on the same configured rules as with editing.

  16. Sometimes line-endings get messed up by source-control (looking at you Git) and "intellisense" will give you lots of green squigglies that you'd rather not commit to the branch.

    A good menu option for SQL Prompt would be 'Normalize Line Endings' with a sub-menu selection of 'Windows' or 'Unix'. Then fire off a regex expression powered search and replace on the file. It's fairly easy to do manually with a Ctrl+Shift+F in Visual Studio, but in SSMS, it's more complicated to do so manually, I think.

    Git does this to me once in a while, and I have to open the…

  17. Current behaviour: let's say we're editing a multi-statement script. The cursor is in the middle of one of the statements. Some other statements in the script are broken (i.e. have invalid syntax) but the one under the cursor is perfectly valid. We hit Shift-F5, expecting the current statement to be executed. Instead, we get a syntax error on some other piece of the script half a mile down the screen.

    Expected behavior: just run whatever is under the cursor and ignore all other parts of the script.

  18. If a sql command is written with an APS specific statement (for example: "CREATE TABLE AS, or "OPTION (Label = 'Query Description')" ), then a script parsing error appears.

  20. Similar to the CTE request https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/94413-sql-prompt/suggestions/19545028-format-cte-closing-parenthesis

    Aligning the closing parenthesis on its own line, in the same column as the opening paren, makes the subquery stand out, as well as making the alias stand out.
