When Editing .SQL files using .Net, when I execute the SQL or Check the SQL,
it reformats the SQL differently than we normally do it. I would like to
know how I can disable this automatic formatting. Alternatively, I would
like a format option that creates a carriage return after each field in sub
selects. I work primarily with Oracle, and this is our company standard. I
like the tabbing in many cases, but I am now on the data warehouse team, and
I need to conform to their standard. I would prefer to use .Net development
Environment to Toad if I can. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Geoff

Try Tools / Options / Text Editor and look under SQL / T-SQL etc and see if
you find anything that stops it.
 
Leon,

Thanks for answering. I've checked all the options and cannot find one that
helps. I have turned of indenting on all SQL Type files. This has not helped
me. I would like the editor to recognize the file as PL/SQL, but I have had
no success with this. It continues to handle it as if it were T-SQL.

I would prefer to keep the standard indenting but have a carriage return
after every field listed before the FROM clause.

Additionally, I would like to have the editor recognize the file as PL/SQL.

And/Or I would like to be able disable the automatic formatting of the text.

When I posted my first message, I had already exhausted myself trying to
find the properties that might solve my problem under Tools>Options>Text
Editor>SQL Types.

Thanks,

Geoff

Hmm, perhaps try a different file extension? I'm afraid I don't know what
the file extension is for PL/SQL. You could hunt it down in the registry or
have a search on the web.
 
I have not been able to guess the file extension that would cause VS.Net to
show the file as PL/SQL.
