  1. Fix issue with diagram tool auto redrawing relationship lines when tables are dropped and recreated with no changes to relationships from old to new tables.

    Specifically I reverse engineered my tables into the database diagraming tool. Then painstakingly organized the tables then adjusted all the relationship lines so they take a short path and do not cross then saved the diagram.

    When re-opening it everything is fine. But - if I ever drop and recreate the tables (e.g. with a script to change the schema) the diagram tool auto-redraws all the relationships and the diagram becomes a mess.

    Please fix.…

  3. Take two identical databases on different SQL Server instances (or on prem vs Azure). Ensure they are identical by doing a schema compare. Take a data generation file that is configured and works for one database. Take that file and change the target to the new database. The pre-existing configuration does not get applied to the new database.

    The workaround is to create a copy of the existing data generation file, open the new configuration .dgen file in a text editor and change the ConnectionString line in the xml to match the new database's properties. In order to get the…

  4. If you set a breakpoint, then close the query, when you open the query back up, the previously set breakpoint is no longer present.

  5. Search does not find all stored procedures in a case sensitive database. The default case insensitive search misses some objects. To make it work, you must specify the exact case sensitive search string and make the search case sensitive. The default server collation in my instance was case insensitive.

  6. I changed the grid to update a table, but the update did not use the primary key of the selected row and updated thousands of rows! My expectation is that the PK of the selected "update" table would be used to update one row. This is a terrible bug and makes the update feature unusable when using a join.

  7. I customize the tool bar and arrange them how I want them and the reset on their own if I do anything like execute a query, move to another tab and move back, etc. They should lock in place and be the same on each query window.

  8. I am using dbForge Studio 2019 Express. I can select text vertically but I can not edit it. In other editors, when I edit text, all rows are updated.

    I suggest to copy this feature of Notepad ++ or SQL Server Management Studio.

  9. I click "New Data Comparison" (or "New Schema Comparison"), then ALT-W to open the "Database Connection Properties" dialog, then TAB to get into the "Server" input box. Once there, I type a part of the name of the server and the list of available servers works nicely!

    It seems that I must use down DOWN ARROW to select the server from the list and press ENTER before I can get out.

    However, if I type the entire server name, I can't get out of that box! Pressing TAB or ENTER does nothing.

  10. Sql logins associated with an active directory group (windows authentification) are shown in data explorer's security/users node, but not listed in the security manager.
    Thus, if you double click on it in the explorer "object does not exits" pop up and the user cannot be edited.

  11. When I add an extended property (eg. description) in unicode, the generated script does not have N prefix for unicode value. As a result, my added property value gets unreadable after save.

  13. The MDI component used has always been problematic. For a time it would regularly crash, but this was eventually fixed. However, I can't help but to notice how sluggish it is when the monitor is greater than 1280x1024 or if you the tabs are split. Some kind of improvement in performance would be desirable.

  17. When I click the header of DBForge and start dragging, the window minimizes. When I'm dragging it to another monitor, I must then maximize the window. Please leave the window size where it is set.
