Options
IF EXISTS format suggestion

Posts: 3
I am sorry for the cross postings - afterwards, I realized that this is more a SQL refactor comment.
I may be wrong but there does not seem to be an option to force a simple IF EXISTS() condition to ONE line.
Example:
Where
exists ( Select
*
from
@TMMSale T
Where
T.MaxAkey=D.a_Key )
and D.a_Type='I'
Instead, I would prefer the following:
Where
exists ( Select * from @TMMSale T Where T.MaxAkey=D.a_Key )
and D.a_Type='I'
I prefer this because my if exists clauses are typically short and simple and spreading it out across multiple lines seems unwarranted.
I would have figured that the option on "Subquery placement" would apply to an "If exists" clause.
thanks in advance,
Peter.

I have tested your query, and it does seem like there is no way to force the satatement onto one line.
I have logged this as a bug with SQL Refactor 1.1. (SR-701)
This post is now linked to the bug, so we can update it when the status of the bug changes.
I hope this will suffice for now.
