RE: Re: Formatter - JOIN ON

Currently there is no option to do what I think you wish to obtain.

Let’s analyze for a moment how we can fold the join.

If the right hand margin is very large then no folding occurs after “INNER JOIN” :

  FROM party pty
       INNER JOIN party_address pa ON pa.party_id = pty.party_id AND pa.address_type_id = 1

When narrowing the right hand margin then currently it initially folds like this:

  FROM party pty
       INNER JOIN party_address pa
          ON pa.party_id = pty.party_id AND pa.address_type_id = 1

When narrowing futher then we get (2nd folding mode):

  FROM party pty
       INNER JOIN
       party_address pa
          ON     pa.party_id = pty.party_id
             AND pa.address_type_id = 1

In contrast, the following is the first folding mode which I understand you wish to see:

  FROM party pty
       INNER JOIN party_address pa ON pa.party_id = pty.party_id
                                  AND pa.address_type_id = 1

Okay, but how should it get folded further whenever the right hand margin is exceeded?  Would the 2nd folding mode as above be okay?

Thanks,
Andre

Let me try that again:

SELECT pty.party_id
      ,pty.last_name
      ,pty.first_name
      ,pa.street_address
      ,pa.city_name
      ,pa.state_code
      ,pa.zip_code
      ,pe.email_address
  FROM party pty
       INNER JOIN party_address pa ON pa.party_id = pty.party_id
                                  AND pa.address_type_id = 1
       INNER JOIN party_email pe ON pe.party_id = pty.party_id
