FROM SimpleQueueTargetFrom the Service Broker Workbench on Simple Talk.
It only moves the semicolon to a separate line. No errors. Ignores "comma at start".
And, yes, the @'s above probably start in column 1, when they're actually in col 5.

Inserting the AS keyword for aliases
It would be nice if one could click a button and get the AS keyword between an object name and its alias. This would help with code that doesn't use AS to separate the two. And would also help readability.
Thanks.

Qualify Ojects in SQL (Add square brackets)
When formatting SQL, add an option to force all possible columns/objects/whatever to be qualified with square brackets. So:
CREATE TABLE #qqqqq (aaaaa INT,bbbbb INT,ccccc VARCHAR(5));
Becomes: CREATE TABLE [#qqqqq] ([aaaaa] INT,[bbbbb] INT,[ccccc] VARCHAR(5));
Or: CREATE TABLE [#qqqqq] ([aaaaa] [INT],[bbbbb] [INT],[ccccc] [VARCHAR](5));3 votesThis is included in SQL Prompt 6.5 which you can download from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-prompt/

Give Format SQL the ability to convert X.Field1 AS NewFieldName format to FieldName = X.Field1
We have a lot of legacy code that is written as
SELECT Field1 as Name1, Field2 Name2 FROM Table X
(Sometimes they use AS when setting the alias, othertimes they do not).I would love the ability to convert this to
SELECT
Name1 = X.Field1
, Name2 = X.Field2
FROM Table XBoth having the ability to switch between Name = Value and Value AS Name and to auto add the alias to all fields.

Format "case" keyword also in uppercase
When formatting a case statement I want the case keyword to show in uppercase just like the when and end keywords. Now initially it uppercases CASE but when running SQL format it turns it to lowercase (bug?) See example below of the current format behaviour.
SELECT case WHEN 1 = 1 THEN 1
ELSE 0

Formating create table command
Currently when formatting a Create table command the SQL Prompt is moving the "Default" to a next line and indenting it...
like this
[insertDT] DATETIME NULL
[______INDENT] DEFAULT GETDATE()
,[ActualMU] INT NULL
[___INDENT]DEFAULT 0
,[PlannedMu] INT NULL
[___INDENT]DEFAULT 0
,[CompletedDT] DATETIME NULL
[___INDENT___] DEFAULT GETDATE()And the format that I would like to see (making easier to read) is
keeping all definition of each field in the same line, like,[insertDT] DATETIME NULL DEFAULT GETDATE()
,[ActualMU] INT NULL DEFAULT 0
,[PlannedMu] INT NULL DEFAULT 0
,[CompletedDT] DATETIME NULL DEFAULT…5 votesThis feature was released in version 8 of SQL Prompt.

Incorrect capitalization of system functions
The SQL Prompt formatter incorrectly tries to capitalize (whether automatically while I type or using the formatter) system functions that are missing a database prefix. For example, SQL Prompt doesn't try to capitalize:
sys.fn_listextendedproperty
but it WILL capitalize
fn_listextendedproperty
as soon as I hit space, regardless of the CASE setting in SQL Prompt's options. Obvious, a capitalized FN_LISTEXTENDEDPROPERTY does not work: the function is case-sensitive.
There does not appear to be a way around this, not even by setting Format -> Styles -> Case -> Buit-in functions to "Leave as is". That only resolves the problem for the manual formatter:…

Stop auto Uppercase conversion of keywords in comments
When a word is entered in a comment block, that is the same as a keyword (e.g. FROM), SQL Prompt should not automatically convert the word to uppercase.

Support a common intending option for SELECT
Sample query (spaces marked with underscores):
SELECTstaffId, staffName, a
FROM__personnelSELECT and FROM have whitespace after them to align the rest of the statement. This formatting style is tedious to maintain and almost nowhere to be found in real codebases or on the web. Please support the more common code style:
SELECTstaffId, staffName, a
FROMpersonnelJust one space.

Option to unformat onto a single line
Often when I'm debugging code that dynamically generates SQL, I hit a breakpoint, then copy the code into an SSMS query window. All the code is typically in a single long line. I can then use SQLPrompt to format the code to read it, and potentially change it to correct errors. However, what I then often want to do is to paste the changed code back into the variable (or whatever). I'd love to be able to have an option to format the code all into a single line.
