  2. Customize TAB name in multi queries

    On a multiple execution query, allow to customize the name of the results tabs, by default only shows the table name, useless if the tables are the same.

  3. Support Multiple Cursors like visual studio or sublime text

    I can go into detail upon this being developed. Sublime Text (and to a lesser degree visual studio) support multiple cursor editing which is a tremendous boost in efficiency of coding. At this time Dbforge SQL Studio doesn't support this. Recommend adding this functionality.

  4. Include SQL text in data export

    When exporting data to a spreadsheet, it would be nice if it would include the SQL that produced the data in a separate spreadsheet tab. Toad does this and it's a nice feature because if you produce data for someone and they later want the same data, you can just have them send you the spreadsheet so you can run the exact same query for them again.

  6. Show the differences when comparing JSON columns

    When using the Data Compare if I click on the JSON Data Viewer, the differences between the 2 values are not shown, it would be wonderful if the differences between 2 JSON columns could be displayed with highlighting !

  10. Enable SQL Studio to work on Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Analytics Platform System (APS)

    Please enable SQL Studio features to work on Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Analytics Platform (APS). Both APS and Azure SQL Data Warehouse have similar parallel DW architecture (MPP). Azure SQL Data Warehouse is the cloud version of on-prem APS appliance. We want a tool that can work with APS / Azure SQL Data Warehouse. Right now dbForge SQL Studio can connect to APS, but nothing works beyond that.

    Azure SQL Data Warehouse: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-data-warehouse/sql-data-warehouse-overview-what-is

    Microsoft Analytics Platform System (APS): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/analytics-platform-system

  12. 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.

  13. Rename Tabs

    It would be very helpful to rename tabs, or at least provide a customisable format beyond the default. It's very hard to remember which SQLx.sql tab you need to switch to when you've got several open at once.

    This feature is available in dbForge SQL Complete and can be setups as follows:
    1. Select ‘SQL Complete → Options…’ from the main menu. The ‘Options’ window opens.
    2. Navigate to the ‘SSMS Caption’ section.

  14. 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…

  16. Add filter for Object Search

    Please add a filter to Object Search results like 'Display distinct names of objects only' (or similar),. That will help with searching objects (tables/views) that contain certain data, but not data itself. Say when I search for string 'rufhweirfi' in my a database, it returns me 4000+ rows from 58 tables, but I need only names of objects that contain such data. That would help with searching pairs master-detail in database that has no relationships for tables.

  17. Additional Relation Notation for Database Diagram

    To show a 'many' relationship on the child side, a 'crow's foot' shape is used now. SSMS uses 1 and * (asterisk sign) to show one-to-many relation. So you can add similar notation to the Diagram Document Options. (Now there are two options available: IE and IDEF1X)

  18. Faster Way to Export Database Diagram

    I'd like a hotkey option to copy database diagram to my chosen default format, like PNG. I'm currently having 3-4 steps to simply save the diagram as a PNG. I'd also like the option to COPY TO CLIPBOARD AS: PNG, JPEG, ETC.

    One additional thought, attaching a comment to a table, not free floating. Kinda like a visio diagram. That would be nice for helping improve speed of documentation.

  19. 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…
