Guys Please, Color Coding in the SQL Qry Editing Window - we need this

We need color coding in the SQL Editor Window for input tools.  We are always having to pull our code out of there and copy it into a Teradata window so it is easier to ready/trouble shoot.  This would save us some time and some hassle and would improve the Alteryx user experience. ( I think you've used a couple of my ideas already. This one is a good one too. )

Coming from a purely SQL background and using existing SQL queries, this is probably my biggest complaint about Alteryx. It's nearly impossible to read SQL code in that box and i end up copying it into SQL mgmt studio to read it but then it comes over as one long string.

Such a good idea and basic features I allowed myself to take it in https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Ideas/Embedded-REAL-SQL-query-builder-and-free-SQL...

We are currently in testing and this was one of my first thoughts!

Colors + indentation for sub queries.

Thank you for this suggestion. The SQL editor will have color coding in an upcoming release.

Outstanding!  Great news.   

And will it respect food indenting practices too?

 

Select

      FieldA,

      FieldB 

From

      Table1

       Inner join table2

             On table1.fk = table2.pk

Where

       Field3= x

 

 

Right now the editor scrubs all your correct indenting if you change tabs
