  1. It would be appreciated if you could enhance the SqlPrompt Formatting Styles functionality for the Clauses >>> JOIN section. I'd like the ON keyword to stay on the same line as the table-name, but when constraints are line-wrapped, I'd just like them to be "normally" indented.

    Presently, the only way to get close to this behavior is to check the "Place ON keyword on new line" checkbox and set "ON keyword alignment" to "Indented". But I don't want that box checked.

  3. Currently it is hardly possible to search for column assignments like "Column1 = 0". The results include any words having zero.

    This request is similar to the "allow multiple keywords searches", but it is for a button named "SQL Search" instead of "Tab History".

    Either treat "match whole words only" as the entire search text entered is matched exactly or introduce another checkbox "Search as Regex" to handle this scenario.

  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

  6. Be able to refactor INSERT statement into UPDATE statement that has SELECT rather than VALUES i.e. "insert into xxx select from".

  7. Please add the wildcard extension (select * => select col1, col2, ...) to SqlPrompt in ADS, the same as it works in SSMS.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. My idea is for the SQL Compare tool: when the warnings are displayed, it would be helpful to be able to copy text of these warnings to deal with them

  13. 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.

  14. When a date or datetime field appears in a WHERE clause, include Suggestions of the following nature and dynamically substitute them upon selection with the nondeterministic or deterministic equivalents:

    (I couldn't get my table to format nicely here - please see the copy in the uploaded file.)

    (If it's currently 11am on Friday August 20 2021...)

    Suggestion Nondeterministic replacement Deterministic replacement

    now GETDATE() CAST('11am 20 August 2021' AS DATETIME)
    today CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) CAST('20 August 2021' AS DATE)
    yesterday DATEADD(DAY, -1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) CAST('19 August 2021' AS DATE)
    tomorrow DATEADD(DAY, 1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) CAST('21 August 2021' AS DATE)…

  16. Consider a table
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ItemGroups](
    [Group] [VARCHAR](25) NOT NULL,
    [Description] [VARCHAR](25) NOT NULL)

    SELECT Group from dbo.ItemGroups ->

    Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Group'.

    Would be nice to get a warning when a column name is a reserved word. Square brackets make the syntax valid but unnecessary if a column is named more accurately, e.g. ItemGroupCode

  17. Add a menu Item option to unformat a query. In other words take the query that is highlighted or every query in the script and convert them to be on a single line with only a single space between keywords, words, and operators.
    This would be very useful for having to copy SQL into a table or other some object that shouldn't have normal formatting in it.
    An option would be to double up all single quotes, so that the query can be placed between single quotes.

  18. In SQL Prompt, in the pop-up display for an object, allow drill down from an object reference in the popped-up display.

    In the new feature showing dependencies, implement drill down (from the "uses" section) and drill up (from the "used by" section)

  19. SQL Prompt does not start a new line for the SELECT portion of a CTAS statement within Azure Synapse Analytics when there is a defined distribution or index using a WITH clause. Instead the SELECT statement is tabbed way over to the right.
