  3. 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…

  4. 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

  5. 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…

  6. 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".

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  13. I have to generator a column based on another tables column value . Currently python generator can work with same table columns only. It will be great if we can access other table column also.

  16. It is sometimes important to set triggers order when there are several triggers for a single table, UPDATE event, for example.

    There is a command which performs this:
    EXEC spsettriggerorder @triggername=N'[dbo].[tskTask_Validate]', @order=N'First', @stmttype=N'UPDATE'

    But I wish I had a visualized tool for this task and more control than a simple 'First' / 'Last' option.

    Thank you

  18. I have couple of websites and I manage the databases for my website using dbForge Studio by connecting to hosting SQL server. You know that web hostings has hundreds of databases on SQL instance so expanding the connection in database explorer takes time. I wish I was able to embed filters when creating a connection so it will show the selected databases only.

  20. In the "Find invalid objects", I really miss an option to "Select all". There's a "Clear all", but not a "Select all".
