Automatically adding JOIN statements

I do not think Sql Prompt should include the ability to add JOINs to your SQL as you are typing. (Or add the table names while adding fields to the SELECT clause).

I base this off of non-stop use of the Beta for the past few weeks.

I know the final version of SqlPrompt will behave differently then the beta, but as it is now I find myself fixing a lot of code that Sql Prompt 'helped' me write.

Sql Prompt should help me write my query -- it shouldn't do the writing for me. The more it tries to automate, the more likely it is to automate it incorrectly.

If you are looking for an easy way to build queries w/o writing your JOINs or FROM statements, use the "Design in Query Editor" tool.

Sql Prompt should be more like "cruise control" in a car and less like KITT from Knight Rider.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the feedback. We have more or less come round to your position. So in the final version auto-generating FROM clauses will be an option.
