  2. Rows affected not be summed up

    When you do an insert and it fires a trigger, the rows affected returned is a lump sum. In SSMS, each row affected is a separate output. So for example, you would get the number of rows the 1st trigger caused and the the actual inserted rows in the prime table. Same applied to update and delete actions.

  3. Option to choose where New Sql tab will open

    A new preference to indicate whether the New Sql tab should to the furthermost right or left. Sometimes when you're working things out, you want to see the tabs in the progression of when you built in or just to know that the latest work is way to the right or left

  4. Provide a way to disable auto-commit mode.

    When auto-commit is turned off, your DML is always embedded in a transaction, without a commit or a rollback. Then, make it clear that there is an open transaction, and provide a commit and a rollback button. Many other tools provide this important feature

  5. External datasource wizard for Azure

    Azure doesn't support linked servers. It has an external data source feature instead. SSMS allows creation of a template. It would be great if dbForge Studio supported the same but with a wizard that would allow connection of an excel spreadsheet OR another Azure database on the same Azure elastic server.

  6. Add Test mode for SQL

    I used to work with Apex SQL where there was test mode. This is a very simple, but convenient feature. There was a button "Test Mode" beside the "Execute Script" button. The button had two states - pressed and unpressed. Clicking the button added two rows. "BEGIN TRANSACTION" was added at the beginning of the script and "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION" was added at the end. When unpressing the button, the two rows disappeared.

  7. use the repository name as the folder name in sql source control

    I have a standard folder on my laptop for source control files that gets backed up automatically. I've changed the default folder for source control in the settings but instead of using the repository name as the source folder, it's using a scrambled name.

    can you make the software use the repository name instead of the random name so I know which database I'm looking at when looking in my source control folder?

  9. Save comparison without running it

    After running a data comparison, I want to edit the comparison and make some changes, then save the comparison... without having to re-run it first. This means being able to click "Save" while the "New Data Comparison" dialog is open before clicking "Compare".

  11. Tear off tab needs to account for the task bar on secondary monitors

    On Windows 10, when you tear off a query window and drop it on a secondary monitor, it will cover up the task bar on that monitor when the window is maximized. If you put it on the main monitor and the main app on the secondary, then both windows will maximize properly and not cover the task bar.

    I frequently need Select count(*) from xxxxx as well as a few others. It'd be great if I could add my own!

  15. Object Explorer details (Data space used, index space used, row count...)

    In SQL Server Managment Studio there is an view: Object explorer details. Where I can see details for all tables in my database. And for example I can sort tables by row count. Similar view in DbForge has fixed columns: Schema, Principal, Partitioned, Create Date, Modify Date, filegroup, Change tracking, Lock_Escalation. But there is no possibility to add extra columns especially: Data space used, index space used, row count.

  16. save column settings on multiple results queries

    Currently it appears column customization (sort order, filter, column width) is only preserved between executions for the first tab and only when it is the active tab then the queries are run. Would be nice if it was preserved for all tabs.

    In one query window:

    SELECT Data= 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3;

    SELECT Data= 'A' UNION SELECT 'B' UNION SELECT 'C';

    Run the query and the results are put on to results at tabs. If you change sort orders for the second tab and re-run the sort order is lost. If you change the sort order of…

  17. Columns Header In Clipboard

    Hi,

    it would be great, if we could get the column names in the clipboard when we copy the results of a comparaison.

    Use case:
    Launch a comparaison, see what is Only in Source, Only in target
    Copy the results of the grid, paste in an excel file, you'll get the datas but no column name

  19. XML exported or XML Viewer data saved pretty printed

    At this time the XML viewer displays XML data pretty printed, but as soon as it is saved to an XML file the pretty print is lost and it turns into one long line. I believe that exporting XML data has the same result. My workaround is to put all the XML data in the clipboard and have Notepad++ save it as XML file and it saves the pretty printing. This workaround is not desirable as it is extra steps that should not be needed.

    Please allow an option in the XML viewer (and exporting) to save/export XML data "pretty…
