SQL Prompt storage of settings
As we are using a dedicated group of virtual machines for using our high privilege accounts, we don't know at login time on which machine we will have a session. Currently the settings of SQL Prompt are stored under “…\AppData\Local...”. After each logoff we loose these settings. According to the Microsoft standards, the settings should be stored under “…\Appdata\Roaming...”. Could this be changed in a future version?

Top with parenthesis should be a formatting option
Changing
SELECT TOP 10...
to
SELECT TOP (10)... should be a formatting option.

List aggregate functions before system fields
When putting a COUNT in a select field, the default option in intellisense is sysxmitbody.count. I understand if I have a field that contains the aggregate name in my table that you suggest it first, but I never want sysxmitbody.count - and if I do, I'd expect to go looking for it.
I feel like I've hit this problem with other aggregates as well, but can't find another example at the moment.
Not sure the best fix, maybe list all system tables after user tables and functions?

Autocomplete stored procedure using local time zone on datetime arguments.
When auto-completing an "EXEC storedProc" statement, SQL Prompt will generate the input arguments (and outputs) and generate sample values for the input arguments. If an input argument is of type datetime, SQL Prompt generates a string literal that is equivalent to current date and time in UTC. Please provide an option to either generate a string literal that is the current date and time in the local time zone.

Azure SQL Database Smart Rename support
Smart rename doesn't work on Azure SQL Database without creating a SQL login to use for the task. Be nice to support connections via Active Directory Password, or any of the other Azure AD auth options.

Smart Rename auto-generate synonym
It would be incredibly useful to have Smart Rename have the option to generate a synonym that points the old name to the new one, in order to maintain functionality for any legacy applications accessing the database via those old object names.

Additional syntax coloring - override SSMS
So I'm not sure if this is something that SQL Prompt has the ability to do or not as far as access to SSMS.
When you customize syntax coloring in SSMS, it sees variables, tables, column names, etc all as the same thing...."Identifiers"....I would love it if I were able to specify a different coloring scheme for variables, separate from the rest of the identifiers.

Aliases -> Prefixes to ignore with Regex
Please add option to specify regular expressions to ignore prefixes.
So if I have a pattern for table/view/SP prefix I would not need to specify all the options/combinations.Thank you

filter snippets between default and custom
Ability to easily identify user-created snippets from default Redgate snippets.
I love snippets and I create a ton of them, but there's no easy way for me to filter the list of snippets to see which ones I created vs the ones that shipped with the product. I'd love the ability to be able to filter the list of snippets to show my custom snippets so I can find them easily.
(My work around is just to use a naming convention that groups them all, but this feels inefficient because it requires that I type more letters to activate the…

Align BETWEEN with comparison operators
It's currently possible to align operations in WHERE which is great, but BETWEEN is not aligned.
Example - currently:
WHEREModifiedDate BETWEEN DATEADD(MONTH, -6, GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND City__________= 'Bothell'
OR LEFT(PostalCode, 2)= 'CB'
OR PostalCode_______= @prefix + @suffixExpected:

Control D to duplicate selected text
When text is selected, Control D would create a copy of that text. If no text is selected, the current line of the cursor will be duplicated.
Much like the behavior of Excel to carry down cell values (and a popular Visual Studio plugin), this will allow users to keep the text on their clipboard to paste it over part of the SQL that was just duplicated (like the contents of a where clause).

Control the behaviour of SQL Prompt insertion
I would like the ability to control how SQL Prompt completes my statements for me, this mostly becomes an issue with procedures with multiple optional parameters.
If I used sp_whoisactive as an example, there are multiple optional parameters but it is capable of running with no parameters at all, so I find myself having to spend longer than I want to either highlighting the bit I want execute or deleting all the parameters that just got written for me.
So a setting where I can assign keys to complete full statement and keys to simply complete object name would be…

Implement all SQL Code Guard Rules in SQL Prompt Code Analysis
There are several rules that are only available in SQL Code Guard. And with SQL Code Guard no longer being maintained they should be implemented in SQL Prompt Code Analysis so that we can avoid having to use two products.
By our count here are the rules currently not implemented in Code Analysis:
DEP004 COMPUTE and COMPUTE BY clauses are deprecated
DEP005 FASTFIRSTROW table hint is deprecated
DEP008 PASSWORD/MEDIAPASSWORD options in BACKUP/RESTORE statement are deprecated
DEP010 DBCC CONCURRENCYVIOLATION is deprecated
DEP017 NON-ANSI join (= or =) is used
EI001 Incompatible variable type for procedure call
EI002 Incompatible literal…4 votes -
Move the Options - Styles configuration to the individual Style definition page
Options - Styles pane contains, for example, "Apply column alias style" and its drop-down. This does not belong as a universal style setting, among others.
Please move it to the "Formatting Styles" configuration dialog.
This is because many practitioners either do not know about the "alias = column" capability in T-SQL, or don't like it, or it's contrary to company standards. The ability to use this form, which IMO is more brain-friendly, ought to be on the Formatting page as it is, in fact, a significant style element.
Thanks.

Ability to run Code Analysis against whole DB
With the deprecation of SQL Code Guard and it's replacement by Code Analysis there is one feature that we heavily used that is now no longer there, and that is the ability to run SQL Code Guard against the whole DB not just the query on the screen.
This allowed us to investigate new DBs that we'd inherited to see what sort of cleanup we might be looking at as well as giving us the ability to see if anything had snuck in to our existing DBs without going file by file.
I know there are other tools (like SQL…

Allow tab history to stay open
I want to be able to keep my tab history open. I am rebuilding a lost development database and using search a LOT, but after I search, find a tab I want to look at more deeply or execute, the window disappears and my search predicate and place in the list of matching tabs is lost, so I have to enter search predicate and scroll back down each time. This is a VERY useful tool, but it would be so much more useful if I could just keep it open.

Shift-F5: ignore other syntax errors
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.
