  1. Sql formatter

    The SQL formatter (CTRL+K CTRL+D) is great, but...
    1. I can never remember how to get to the screen to change the options. I have already had the answer to where this is but every time I need to go back to it I can never find it. I think the menu for it isn't clear enough.
    2. After every update of the product all my formatting options are lost. I am now sick of setting it up every time (because it is time consuming)

  2. Quick filter for Object Explorer

    It seems to me that it would be convenient to quick filter or highlight objects in object explorer simply by typing (condition "contains" by default not only starting) or pressing the key combination. Thanx.

  4. Intellisense for tables in tempdb

    When joining, querying, or trying to expand table.* column names for a table in the tempdb database, Intellisense does not work even for tables that existed when starting dbForge.

    It would be nice to be able to have that feature even if it meant manually adding the table to the Intellisense cache.

  7. Comment / Un-comment a block of Code.

    Frequently I have the need to comment or un-comment a section of my SQL code, e.g. a set of columns or a portion of a WHERE clause. It would be nice if I could select the block, right-mouse, and select comment/un-comment to place the "--" characters in front of the selected lines of code.

  8. Auto close current connection immediataly after script has been completted

    Now, it is uncomfortably to drop temporary tables manually when a script is restarted.

    To avoid this problem I suggest to add settings to auto close current connection immediately after script has been completed

  9. logical data model

    The database diagram should be allowed for offline creation and modification. In the agile development world the relational model can through a number of changes before the physical model is ever deployed. It would be nice to be able to design the database offline and then when all parties agree, push those changes to the database.

  12. Hotkey in Data Viewer and Editor

    When a datafield is edited in the data editor by pressing twice F2 the cursor is in the "Data Viewer and Editor". As soon the cursor is in the "Data Viewer and Editor" the mouse must be used to leave the editor or to apply the changes etc.. It should be possible to define hotkeys for at least "Apply Changes" and "Cancel Changes". After the changes has been applied or canceled the focus should go back to the origin field.

    The workflow is really bad if a lot of fields have to modified with the Data Viewer and Editor. Keys…

  13. Extensions, plagins, add-in

    Do you plan adding user extensions for the IDE (plagins) or some other mechanism to extend the functionality with external utilities?

    For example:

    1. Using the external xml (you could include the editor), add an ability to add menu items (main, popup menu for a database, object, in the editor) where an external program with parameters will run (on a modal window) upon a click: current connection string (with a password, asking the user's permission), current database, current object type, current object name, etc.

    A return code will tell what to do ( -1 - error, 0 -nothing to do, 1-update…

  14. Allow filtering where the results shows the number of changes for a column at the bottom of a tab

    When I run a compare, I often have thousands of records in the results tabs, per tab. At the bottom it shows the number of different records for each column labeled "Changes". Would be great to have a button that quickly filters on those records that are different instead of trying to scroll up and down to find them, per column.

  16. Schema Compare /Sync log

    Currently on the command line, the /sync option allows you to specify a file to write the sync script to, instead of executing immediately. When no file is specified, the sync is executed immediately. I would like a way to send the results of the sync operation to a log file of type .txt.

    I think it would be beneficial to have a couple of different logging levels:

    0 - verbose; each object start and stop time, warnings, and errors
    1 - warnings; only objects causing warnings or errors to occur
    2 - only errors

    Warnings should include the object…

  19. We really need the ability to backup and restore Azure SQL databases

    SQL Server (non-Azure) makes it very easy to backup and restore. Not so with Azure. Even if we can't restore to Azure, it would be great to backup the database like any other SQL database, and restore it to a local SQL instance.

  20. Change query result window behaviour

    Some users (and I'm amonh them) prefer to see query results in separate window. I can change it when I open new query, but there is no option to make this choice by default. In SQL Server Management Studio you can move between these windows (query, result, output window) by pressing F6, there is no hotkey for that.
