  2. Crash when pasting tab-separated data

    I have data in a text editor which is tab-separated. I copied one line from the text editor with 44 tab-separated integer values no higher than 788 to the clipboard. I then opened a table with 100 columns in edit mode, pressed insert to add a new row and pasted the copied line. The line looks fine at the moment (before sending crash report and restarting), i.e. the paste operation seams to work on the visual layer, but then the crash report showed up.

  3. Return back Ctrl+Shift

    That combination is used to switch between Windows languages. In the latest update dbForge awaits pressing some additional key upon Ctrl+Shift. Because of this, the first letter is not printed after pressing Ctrl+Shift.

    Let combinations with Ctrl+Shift to work only when these keys are hold down.

  4. Mouse wheel does not scroll the Database Explorer tree list

    I have a database server with many dozens of databases containing many hundreds of objects (tables, views, etc.) each. I use the mouse scroll wheel to scroll this list in MS SSMS and I would hope to be able to do this with dbForge Studio.

  5. Fix Refresh in 5.5.369

    Manual refresh appears to be broken in this version. This even includes doing an edit on a table and the script generated does not mirror the underlying table. Have repeatedly seen this.

  6. Full text index sync order

    When you sync the schema of a database that has a full text index in it and stored procedures that reference that index, you cannot sync the schema to an empty database in one step. You must do the tables and the index first, then the functions and procedures.

  7. bug on current sql studio.

    since the new version, quite often my sql queries execute fine, however the execution timer keeps ticking away and then the connection to the db breaks. The only way to get it back is reload the query or restart forge. very annoying.

  9. DB Forge crashing

    Probably 2-3 times a day DB Forge crashed. Quite often it does this while i'm not even using it. All I get is the windows 'dbForge Studio for SQL Server has stopped working' dialog (the one which has the Debug and Close Program buttons). This has started happening after the last update

  12. Unable to fix bugs

    I have reported a few bugs over the past few months, and although you are good at responding and looking into this there seems to be a few bugs that you can't seem to get right.

    1. Upgrading. It is always painful. Links that you publish to download the upgrade don't work. There are always licencing/activation problems, etc. I upgraded yesterday as advised (having gone through the normal pain to find the right place to download), and everything seemed to work. Yet today I am asked to enter my activation key yet again. Why can't you just make the upgrade seamless?…

  14. Sticky "Object has invalid source text and cannot be saved"

    Often, when editing functions, and I try to save something with invalid syntax, I will get a pop-up with "Object has invalid source text and cannot be saved" instead of the useful list of errors with line numbers. (However, the product still often red-underlines a problematic portion in these cases.)

    That annoyance is separately reported here:

    https://devart.uservoice.com/forums/177009-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server/suggestions/7488676--object-has-invalid-source-text-improve-error-i

    However, sometimes, after getting this once, every successive save will fail with that error, even after the problem has been resolved. Copying and pasting into SSMS will verify that it is correct. Then closing and re-opening the function editor window will allow me…

  15. Copy with column names doesn't paste correctly into Excel

    Do any select, copy with column names. Paste into Excel. Data pastes properly, but column names do not.

  16. Autocomplete doesn't work if table belongs to schema and no alias or schema name used in join.

    Example:
    select *
    from Schema1.Table1 join Schema1.Table2 on Table1.[AutoComplete doesn't show table fields]

    select *
    from Schema1.Table1 T1 join Schema1.Table2 T2 on T1. [AutoComplete works properly]

  18. F3 button not working properly

    Normally, if I do an incremental search (CTRL+I) or a normal search (CTRL+F), pressing F3 takes you to the next location of your search text in the current file. With DBForge it seems to jump all over the place. The only place it doesn't take you to is the next location in the current file, which basically makes it impossible to use.

  20. Invalid error line for "Display Estimated Execution Plan"

    use this script for test:
    DECLARE @FILENAME AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @FILE    NAMEPRE AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @FILE    NAMESUF AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @SQL    STMT AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

        SET @SQL_STMT = 
'SELECT 
        t1.*,
        CASE WHEN c1 IS NULL
             THEN ''Y''
             ELSE ''N''
        END AS [COLUMN1],
        t2.c3
   FROM t1
   LEFT JOIN (SELECT *
                FROM (VALUES
(''v1'',''v1'',''v1''),
(''v2','v2','v2''),
(''v3'',''v3'',''v3'')) RET (c1, c2, c3)) t2 ON t1.c1 = t2.c2 '

    if you press "Display Estimated Execution Plan", then the first line will be highlighted with an error: Incorrect syntax near ','.
    But if you press "Execute" then correct one will be highlighted
