Temp table name replacement

in SQL Prompt
Hi,

Trialling SQL Prompt and have noticed the following:

When formatting code that includes a SELECT...INTO #Table section, the formatting will replace the #Table with [[databaselimitedname]]]

Any idea why this may be happening?

Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Thanks again for the help - I've spotted the issue: an alias has made its way to the INTO line; absolutely not allowed of course, why would you?! Removing that solves the problem.

    Apologies for wasting your time.

    Best regards,
    Steve

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for coming back on this.

    I have a series of scripts that I'm working on, and have created a format rule set based on our company's standards. I open one of the files to work on, and select Format SQL (or Ctrl K, Ctrl Y) and the formatting begins. I have the editor open showing the line in question and can watch the process remove the temp table #EligibleItems and replace it with [databaselimitedname] text.

    I am running the following:

    Environment: Azure VM running Windows Server 2016
    SQL MS: SQL Server Management Studio v17.9.1
    SQL Server: MS SQL 2017 Developer Edition 64-bit
    SQL Prompt:Updated this morning to 9.5.12.10845

    Sample of specific code:

    SELECT...
    INTO #EligibleItems EligibleItems <---------------------- This is the line that experiences the issue
    FROM #EligibleItemItds ETSET
    INNER JOIN
    Base.FinalDebit FD WITH (SNAPSHOT)
    ON
    ETSET.TransactionSetId = FD.TransactionSetId

    Thanks again Tom - any further info required just let me know.

    Best regards,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,

    That's indeed very odd. Would you be able to share the format file and the complete script with us?
    Kind regards
