  2. Allow for an alphabetical listing when creating a SELECT list? It makes it difficult to quickly check the checkboxes when quickly adding columns.

  3. You already provide an option to align column aliases in a select statement by a table view option in the stack list.

    how about alignment for tables aliases in a JOIN statement

    e.g.

    SELECT *
    FROM dbo.table1 t1
    JOIN dbo.tablexyz2 tx2 ON (tx2.c1 = t1.c1)
    JOIN dbo.table t ON (t.c1 = tx2.c2)

    /*****************************
    ** To This
    ** using _ to simulate spaces
    /*****************************/

    SELECT *
    FROM
    ____dbo.table1 _t1
    JOIN dbo.tablexyz2 tx2 ON (tx2.c1 = t1.c1)
    JOIN dbo.table _
    _t _ON (t.c1 = tx2.c2)

  4. Similar to power tools for visual studio 2010: Pressing Ctrl + Click to go to the definition of the element. Also implement the sidebar where you graphically visualize the position of the matching elements and code errors.

  5. I would like an option for column aliases. I would like to choose between = or AS for the "Alias sign".
    The formatting should be done based on this "alias sign" and also be aligned by the alias sign.

    I prefer the = sign , but formatting doesn't seem to accept that as an alias now.

    Example before formatting:

    SELECT colA as [Column A], columnB as [ColumnLonger B]
    FROM Table_1 t

    Formatting when "=" is used as "Alias sign";

    SELECT [Column A] = t.colA
    ,[ColumnLonger B] = t.columnB
    FROM Table_1 t

    Formatting when "AS" is used as "Alias sign":

    SELECT…

  6. I have started using Serverless SQL Pool within SSMS. I have seen and voted for a post for Intellisense, but it would be good to be able to format a query too. For example the below query:
    SELECT cast(r.filepath(1) as varchar(100)) as [$FileName], ISNULL(SysRowId,0) AS _SysRowId, ISNULL(LSN,'') AS LSN, ISNULL(LastProcessedChangeDateTime,'1900-01-01') AS LastProcessedChangeDateTime, ISNULL(DataLakeModifiedDateTime,'1900-01-01') AS DataLakeModifiedDateTime, ISNULL(RECID,0) AS RECID, Language, Status, Stage, ISNULL(DataAreaId,'') AS DataAreaId, ISNULL(PARTITION,0) AS PARTITION, ISNULL(RECVERSION,0) AS RECVERSION
    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'Tables/StgTable/*.csv'
    ,FORMAT = 'CSV', PARSER
    VERSION = '2.0', DATASOURCE ='wsds', ROWSETOPTIONS = '{"READOPTIONS":["ALLOWINCONSISTENTREADS"] }'
    )
    WITH (
    SysRowId…

  8. Add an option group to the formatting profile for the logical operation enclosed in braces. This option group should include the following options:

    Line break before opening brace
    Line break after opening brace
    Line break before closing brace
    Line break after closing brace
    Indent braces
    Indent logical operation
    Format braces around single comparison operation as in logical operations

    Also, make the same options group for the following predicates:
    - EXISTS
    - ALL
    - ANY
    - SOME

  9. When using the Convert Exec to Script feature, it would be helpful to also include the stored procedure name at the very top to provide context to show from where the script was generated. see below. the bottom is what would show after Conver Exec to Script is completed.

    exec uspMyProc

    /* exec uspMyProc */
    select *
    from myTable

  11. SQL Complete has an option to do renames within the current script. It would be great to support refactoring (rename) tables/views/procs/functions in dependent views/procs/funtions.

    For instance:

    CREATE TABLE dbo.Test (a INT, b INT, CONSTRAINT [PKdboTest] PRIMARY KEY (a))
    GO

    CREATE VIEW dbo.vwTest
    AS
    SELECT * FROM dbo.Test
    GO

    CREATE PROC dbo.spUpdateTest
    (
    @a int,
    @b int
    )
    as
    UPDATE dbo.Test
    SET b = @b
    WHERE a = @a
    GO

    On a separate screen (or from SSMS object explorer) choose refactor and change table name from "dbo.Test" to "dbo.GoodTableName" and SQL Complete would identify all objects where dbo.Test is…

    dbo.product pr

Also provide Api command lines give the possibility to create a javascript process to run a task each 2 hours (for example) in the repository of the sp's (for instance).

  14. You can opt to have SELECT, GROUP BY, UPDATE, and other clauses stack their parameters. I think the IN clause should also have this capability.

  17. There are some identifiers and variables we'd like to force with CAPTITALS regardless of the formatting rules.

    Similar to the "General > Available prefixes:", could we have a "Force word formatting" option where we can enter these special word types? ie. TranSid ==> TRANSID

  18. When you select something in the SQL code and it selects all the other instances of it - e.g. a variable name, can you place coloured markers in the scroll bar of all the selected items, also for when you do a find as well. This is really useful feature in visual studio.
