Correct automatic formattng of SQL statements

When automatic formatting of SQL is turned on and code is inserted in a select statement which pushes the statement past column 80, the automatic formatter ignores the code past column 80 and incorrectly splits the rest of the statement in the middle of fields. This causes terminal errors that must be manually corrected.

Please correct this situation so the automatic formatting splits the statement correctly between lines. To do this a preference could be added to allow the user to specify whether the formatter should stop at column 80 or continue to the end of the line.


Use Case:

Create embedded SQL statement.
Insert fields in the select statement that cause the select statement to push past column 80.
Press enter or move the cursor to another line.

Formatter splits the line at column 80 regardless of the length of the data entered.
