  1. Would be great if before exporting data into from SQL Server to google sheets the sheet is cleared, that way if in a second export less rows are exported there are no risk in export duplicates records.

  2. For source control (GIT) at the remote changes tab add a ignore/delete option.

    I started working with the database and deleted/renamed some stored procedures. When I detached and attached my source control (GIT) it wants to add the procedures which I have removed.
    This is fine when someone else changed it, but now I specifically want to delete this procedures. When working with this I can add them again, to delete them afterwards, or I can delete them in the folder and check them in with GIT, bypassing dbForge.

    The easy solution would be to add a ignore/delete/keep local option…

  4. The only thing that prevents me from using DBForge is the inability to run a single sql query on 10 different SERVERS simultaneously and see the aggregated resultset. In SSMS you can simply create a folder and put all of your server connections into that folder and then when you right click on the folder it allows you to connect to all X servers in that folder simultaneously. If you run a top10 query and you have 10 servers configured in that folder you get back a single 100 record resultset. Without a feature like this I can't leave SSMS…

  5. When it comes to bulk Data Pump imports from multiple files (e.g. Excel, *.csv), I'd really appreciate the ability to pass through the source import file name (as text) to a dedicated column within the destination SQL Server data table against each imported record.

    Personally, I use the DevOps PowerShell Automation import pathway and would find it a really handy addition for basic audits if it was accessible as a parameter on Invoke-DevartDataImport

    Thanks!

  6. I am trying to do a data pump but once it is finished the data is almost useless because I don't need 1,000 records per-table, but as many as meaningful are, the children records derived from smaller amounts of records in its corresponding Mater or Parent tables

    So If have for instance ... let's say Businesses (1) and Stores (2) so I'd like to pump data just for these entities not 1,000 business and 1,000 stores but 1,000 billing records, 10,000 stock count records, 8,000 items catalog for each store ... derived from previous node ... like a tree structure…

  7. As a developer, I'd like to be able to check in custom data generator configurations with the rest of my project's configuration into source control.

    Currently, the xml configuration files are stored in a separate far-off location /Users/Public/... and this makes it not ideal if you want to version your generator configurations to share with the rest of the team through Git, as an example.

  8. I'd like to be able to delete user defined (custom) data generation configurations directly from the GUI.

    Currently, you can create (but not delete, nor edit) user defined custom data generator configurations easily.

    Often it is necessary to delete these custom configs because you've created new ones...or saved it too many times...or for other reasons. However, there's no option to delete from the GUI. In order to delete them, you have to find their location and delete xml files found under C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Devart\dbForge...\Data Generators... there you're presented with only timestamped files with no naming that indicates which user defined generation…

  9. I would like to see an option on tab context menu. Often I need to duplicate (clone) my query. So another useful option in context menu when clicking on Query Tab would be "Duplicate query" or something like that.

  10. Hi. I'm currently evaluating studio for sql server. OK, i'm primarily interested in schema and data comparison but evaluating the whole studio product. Here's a couple of things which i think would be useful additions/modifications to the UI of the product(s) (schema and data comparison).

    1. The "recent files" section. I think it would be better if there was a "favorites" section above "recent files" and the user was able to choose whether he wishes to have the "recent files", "favorites" or both sections shown. Also, comparison projects could have an editable title so in the "favorites" section, one could see…

  11. Opening a saved or recent file (schema or data comparison) should not start comparing directly but instead open the "Edit comparison" dialog in the Mapping tab, just in case the user wishes to change the items being compared. When using slow connections between servers, this would be very helpful. If you feel may users would not like such a change, it could be made configurable in the application options (a "Don't start comparison immediately when opening a comparison file" checkbox).

  13. I should be able to designate a connection as 'Production' and define rules as to which statements are allowed/disallowed.

    Production will not allow any DELETE statements. UPDATE statements will need confirmation before they execute.

  15. In data comparison options, there is an option (Display Options) to show / hide Identical records before starting the actual comparison.

    My wish is to have another option to Display Identical Records only in the lower part of the results screen (where the data are shown) and not in the upper part (where the tables that are different are shown. In the upper part it's somewhat confusing to have the Identicals column while in the lower part is actually very useful.

  18. For documenting purposes I need database diagrams to show relation lines precisely aligned to their corresponding columns.

    When a foreign key relations is composed of two or more columns, I need two or more lines to be displayed on the diagram, one for each column. I'd prefer to have all lines of that same foreign key constraint being displayed using the same, distinct color, so they will be recognized as belonging to the same foreign key constraint.

  20. After restoring a new database this one is never available in the search tool. It takes a reboot off SQL server.
    A button to refresh the database list would be helpful.
