Beautifier comment

[tema]

Please, help!

By defaul Beautifier:

select p.ab_field1, -- comment 1
       p.abc_field2, -- comment 2
       p.a_field3, -- comment 3
  from some_table t
 where t.field3 = 1

Desired Beautifier Behavior (align fields in a table and single-line comments):

select p.ab_field1,  -- comment 1
       p.abc_field2, -- comment 2
       p.a_field3,   -- comment 3
  from some_table t
 where t.field3 = 1

How can I do that? Thanks!

This is currently not possible. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Thank you!

Good afternoon! Was this feature implemented in version 14?

 

[Marco Kalter]

No, this has not yet been implemented.

I think there could be practical problems with implementing this, since select list items can be arbitrarily long. If one expression is 500 characters long, for example, should all comments align vertically with it?

Also, inline comments and comma placement is one scenario that code formatters can never handle imho. Change the beautifier settings to bullet-style commas (my preference) and watch this layout go horribly wrong.
