in SQL Prompt
This is my preferred personal SQL style. I can ALMOST, but not quite get it defined using the style editor in SQLPrompt.
SELECT
TOP 100
inventory_user_id
, email_addr
, person
, inventory_user.user_id
FROM
dbo.inventory_user
INNER JOIN dbo.default_app_settings
ON default_app_settings.settings_id = inventory_user.settings_id
LEFT JOIN prod_api.dbo.cms_user AS cms_user
ON cms_user.user_id = inventory_user.user_id
WHERE
cms_user.user_id > 0
TOP 100
inventory_user_id
, email_addr
, person
, inventory_user.user_id
FROM
dbo.inventory_user
INNER JOIN dbo.default_app_settings
ON default_app_settings.settings_id = inventory_user.settings_id
LEFT JOIN prod_api.dbo.cms_user AS cms_user
ON cms_user.user_id = inventory_user.user_id
WHERE
cms_user.user_id > 0
The remaining things I can't seem to figure out.
1. How to get TOP 100 on its own line so I can -- comment it out quickly as needed
2. How to indent the INNER JOIN / LEFT JOIN so they are 1 indent further over then the primary table name.
I have been going through a lot of settings but can't seem to figure this out. I know it's minor, but I've been doing SQL like this for 20 years and it's just enough of an annoyance that every time I reformat things I have to go fix these two items.
Please help

Thanks for reaching out to us regarding this.
1. It is possible to get TOP 100 on it's own line. If you open Formatting styles settings, select Data (DML) under STATEMENTS and check 'Place DISTICT/TOP clauses on new line', this should allow the formatting you are after.
2. Unfortunately it isn't currently possible to align JOIN as far over as you are looking to. I will escalate this to our development team to see if they are able/willing to add additional formatting options for this. I will come back to you on this as soon as I have an update for you.
