  1. Remember open tables when a connection is opened

    It would be great if dbForge remembered what tables were open when a connection is opened. When working on a big project where lots of tables are being worked on every day, I have to spend quite some time re-opening the tables every morning before I can get any work done.

    An alternative would be to have the ability to save the currently open windows for a connection into a 'workspace' file.

  2. Filter tables / views

    When filtering for tables and views I can currently filter by Name, Owner, Schema, or Creation Date, which is really helpful but it would be nice if you could add "Row Count" so I could filter by tables that actually contain data. I work with a database where about half the tables are completely empty so it would be nice to only show tables that contain some data.

  5. Prevent Startpage from closing

    Every now and then I use "Close all Windows", I would like to see an option where you can specify that the Startpage remains open all the time.

    Kind regards, Dinand Veldman

  6. Saving Sort conditions in Master-Detail browser

    I have several Master-Detail browser sessions that I use on a daily basis. When I reload them in the morning, it is necessary to SHIFT-click on the column headers in the Data view to set the sorting/sub-sorting. Is it possible to save the last known sort conditions for the tables involved in the design?

    There appears to be the beginnings of this feature in the Design panel. A person can highlight a column and press the 'Sort Ascending' or 'Sort Descending' buttons at the top of the tab window. When these are set, a little icon shows up indicating the…

  7. File open to show favourites like SSMS does

    When you open a file in SSMS you can see your favourites down the left hand side, which I use a great deal. dbForge does not show this, can it?

  8. quick access to table favorites

    i would like a pane on the left under the database explorer that gives me one click access to a table/view that i designate as a favorite.
    this way i dont have to click on the connection database/click to expand tables/scroll to table/click table

    i could rightclick table at this point, click make favorite and then from that point on i simply do one click to open in main content area.

    thanks

  9. Copy values from data view as 'SQL values list' for easy copy/paste into T-SQL query. SSMSBoost has this feature and I use it extensively.

  10. Turn off notifications bubbles

    When I execute a query, every single time I get a notification that reads 'Data is read-only'.

    This is extremely annoying. Sometimes the bubble/popup will cover a part of the results grid, which means I have to wait till it disappears before I can see the result clearly.

    Please add a feature to disable these popups.

  11. data comparison add specific fields only in update sql statements

    In "Data Comparison tool", when two tables are compared, the user may wish to create a script to update only one of the i.e. 5 fields that have changes. It would be nice if in the header of the results grid, a checkbox existed next to each field name (only in tab "Different Records") so that the resulting UPDATE statements of the selected lines would contain only the "checked" fields.

  12. Generate C# POCOs e.g. for Entity Framework

    It would be helpful to generate C# POCO sourcecode right inside dbForge Studio.

    Right click on table or view => Generate script as => C# POCO

    I use code first approach, but structure changes are made directly in the database.
    Of course I use VS if I have to create a complete new c# model from a database. But for single tables / views it would be a timesaver, to generatet the POCO C# sourcecode in dbForge and then copy-paste it to VS.

  17. Show table name in query result

    Would it be possible to see the table name in the query result. When you have big queries it is hard to see which table the data is in. E.g.

    SELECT
    c., jp., cp.*
    FROM x, y, z

    This query results in 100 columns. It would be useful in the result to see:

    c.Column1, c.Column2, jp.Column1, jp.column2, jp.Column3

  19. Ability to use external program to compare text between source control and database.

    It is currently possible to setup an external program to compare text when doing a schema comparison.

    It wold be nice if this option would extend to comparing source control to the database.

  20. Database explorer must be order by alphabetical

    When the database explorer has very connections (more than 70), is terrible find a connection name, with an order or 'textbox search' would be great.

    Please to consider!
