Support Xml Editing in Entity Developer
I am editing the EDML visually in Entity Developer and textually in Notepad++. It would be nice to be able to toggle back and forth in ED to edit the XML. Especially when updating the model when a table has changed or when doing Find and Replace, e.g. False => false, Double to Decimal, or changing Widget to Spanner.

Support DB-agnostic Models
Model should be DB-agnostic. One or more DB connections to a specific DB can be defined. These could be used for synchronization, XML mapping file generation etc. when requested by user. This way, a single model is maintained for more than one DB types. Now, there is not a simple way to accomplish this.

compression of data across network.
I don't know if this is even possible, but we have numerous users across the globe with small network pipes and access is very slow. (Yes, we have eliminated all unnecessary data). It would be nice if the data was sent compressed.

Add object names filter and grouping to Explorer
Some databases are so large, what it is too difficult to find your objects.
Or, for example, you develop some extensions for MySQL-based CMS and you wont to see only your objects.
Possibility to add filter (like in SQL Server Management Studio) would be very helpfull.5 votes -

Oracle connectionstring DSN-less
Since we can connect to Oracle without using a TNSNAMES.ORA by fully specifing de DSN entry I think the connection interface should manage this by itself.
An example of a DSN-less connectionstring:Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=MyHost)(PORT=MyPort)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=MyOracleSID)));User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
