  1. update data in grid when using join updated more than the one row

    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.

  2. The toolbar moves every time I click execute query or click away and back to the window. I put them where I want them and they reset with e

    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.

  3. Increase UI response and overal performance (SQL Data Compare)

    Opening windows takes much time.
    I believe the most often used features must work as fast as possible to provide the best experience (including not only processing but opening windows).
    See how long it takes to open "New Data Comparison" and moving through tabs "Source and Target", "Options", "Mapping".
    The app itself opens slowly as well opening "dcomp"-files.

  6. 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…

  7. Ability to edit vertically selected text

    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.

  8. Improve keyboard support

    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.

  9. Cannot modify sql login associated with an active directory group

    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.

  10. Error when adding extended property in unicode

    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.

  12. 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. Multiple Document Interface too sluggish

    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.

  15. Don't resize DBForge when I drag (for example to move to a different monitor)

    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.

    Could you please let us know what screen DPI you have set for both the monitors?

  16. Error on create for existing object

    When I have a create statement (without DROP) and the object exists - then SqlStudio should really give an error as SSMS! Currently no indication is made and object remains unchanged!

  17. 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.

  18. 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).

  19. Allow the "=" sign to be part of a keyboard shortcut

    Apologies: not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but would love to include the equals sign (=) as part of a keyboard shortcut. It is in SSMS ....
