Uppercased Comments

When Case Settings is set to "Force UPPERCASE" keywords are uppercased when I type comments. Is there some way to get this function to leave comments alone?

    Hi,

    It shouldn't be doing that. Can you give me an example where this is happening? Also what editor are you using?

    Regards,

    I'm using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and, after further experimentation, I've determined that the problem only occurs if I create a block comment inside a CREATE PROCEDURE method like this:

    CREATE PROCEDURE Bob
    AS
    BEGIN
    /*
    JOIN us IN celebration OF this discovery.
    */
    END

    As you can see from the way that SQL Prompt capitalized the SQL keywords in the comment I typed, it doesn't recognize that that line is a comment. For now, I am working around this by pre-pending the "--" comment tag to the comment lines which gets SQL Prompt to leave them alone.

    Thanks for looking into this.

    I also want to thank you for your prompt and frank acknowledgment that this is a bug. Too often I find that component/tool vendors go out of their way to sweep these types of problems under the rug. It's refreshing to have someone take responsibility and communicate with users openly, like professionals.
