  4. Shortcut Ctrl +Alt+o conflict with windows Alt+o - local alphabet letter

    Shortcut Ctrl +Alt+o is in conflict with windows Alt+o . So you can't get the Polish letter 'ó' what is annoying when try to comment your code in Polish not only because the letter, but especially because jumping out of your current context. Suggestion: option for you own definition of the short cut.

  5. Relationship names on a DB diagram are not "comments". Need ability to show table descriptions independent of showing relationship names.

    When "show comments" is selected, both table descriptions and the names of relationship lines are displayed. The relationship names are not comments, and mostly clutter up an otherwise clear and concise diagram. Show comments should only show table "comments"; a separate button/option is needed to display relationship names for those who want to see them (I do not).

  6. Disconnect studio from Delphi

    In Delphi if you use the Devart SQL server components, dbForge studio is launched automatically. There is a bug if you close Delphi, studio hangs and is no longer usable.

  7. Schema compare does not work for many identical scripts / texts

    Schema compare is incorrectly marking scripts as "update" yet text wise they are completely identical (including control characters and white spaces)

  8. Schema added to properties when not required

    Currently when I use Query designer the resulting query is expressed as:

    SELECT
  Hygiene360Log.Hygiene360LogId,
  Hygiene360Log.RequestDate
FROM dbo.Hygiene360Log

    Where what I want is the minimum length of text to correctly identify tables and objects, like this:

    SELECT
  Hygiene360LogId,
  RequestDate
FROM Hygiene360Log

    It's very annoying

  9. Pewrmit override Alias name assignment during Query design when LONG table names prevent viewing of columns/fields in the columns window.

    From a SSMS Query window execute a statement like:
    CREATE TABLE #tempAllBin (ID Int);
    Then, in your query designed, browse to the TempDB and locate the new temp table. It will have a name like: "#tempAllBins________________________________________________________________________________________________________000000090BC2".
    Select this table name and drag it into the query designer window in your tool. - The length of the table name makes it impossible to view the column names in the column window, as well as a number of other complcations arising from the length of that table name. I see no way to assign a SHORTER ALIAS Name in your query designer…

  10. Ads within DbForge Express interfere with other programs

    Everytime I start dbForge Studio Express I get an advertisement about Cyber Monday discount. Don't get me wrong: I love the discount, but I don't need to see the ad every time I started dbForge Studio. More importantly: the advertisement interferes with other programs, because it shows after a while when I switched to another program. It'd like to see the ad only in dbForge Express and an option added called 'Do not show again'.

  13. Prevent dbForge from crashing when truncating a locked table

    When using the "Truncate Table" feature on a table which has an active table lock, dbForge completely freezes up and ultimately crashes. The app should "gracefully wait" rather than crash.

  15. When I reformat the document it doesn't put Aliases, Table Names or Column Names in [] even though I have that option on.

    When I reformat the document it doesn't put Aliases, Table Names or Column Names in [] even though I have that option on.

    Formatting should enforce the rules I have in place. I want Table Names, Column Names, Aliases all enclosed in [].
