  1. The Pivot Table is great, however it would be nice if it provided the SQL code, such that it can be used elsewhere. This would make for a great pivot builder.

  2. provide a search field in the Visible Columns box. so I can filter the list by entering a word such as "next" and all field names with the word "next" appear.

  3. When clicking on the filter icon in the data grid column (to enter a quick custom filter), the "Custom AutoFilter" dialog appears. I instinctly start to enter a value on my keyboard and realize that I need to manually click on the value textbox to set focus to that box to enter data. It would be great if when the "Custom AutoFilter" dialog opened, the value textbox already had focus to start typing right away.

  4. When I am creating a query with the query builder and select a DateTime field in the WHERE clause (for example, a DateTime field so that the date is Between two dates), I have to manually enter the dates in for the between values. Clicking to dropdown next to the field, does not bring up a calendar to allow me to simply select a date. This would be a nice feature to have.

  5. This would be a small quality of life improvement in the User Interface. When editing SQL, it would be handy to move the contents of the following line to the existing line.

    Example. Let's say the cursor is on line 8 and has an INNER JOIN table statement fragment on it. Line 9 has the ON part of the join condition. Pressing the keybind for "Join lines" would move up line 9 to the end of line 8 and move up all the following lines 10 through N to 9 through N.

    I do realize this can be automatically managed…

    Could you please provide us a screenshot of where exactly you would like it to be present?

    You can send a reply straight to our support system at supportATdevartDOTcom and alexaATdevartDOTcom

  8. An option to quickly get the update script for a single table in the opposite direction. (From Target back to source). I need to get all changes done by other developers and some developers make changes to one of two different databases, and I need to merge changes to/from the two main databases.

  11. The SQL formatter (CTRL+K CTRL+D) is great, but...
    1. I can never remember how to get to the screen to change the options. I have already had the answer to where this is but every time I need to go back to it I can never find it. I think the menu for it isn't clear enough.
    2. After every update of the product all my formatting options are lost. I am now sick of setting it up every time (because it is time consuming)

  12. It seems to me that it would be convenient to quick filter or highlight objects in object explorer simply by typing (condition "contains" by default not only starting) or pressing the key combination. Thanx.

  13. allow snippets to be inserted as you type without pressing tab. there is a setting for it but it doesn't work:
    Options->Text Editor->Code Completion->List Members->Commit selection in completion list by typing: Whitespace
    Perhaps this does something else?
    I'd like to be able to type & insert without TAB

  15. When joining, querying, or trying to expand table.* column names for a table in the tempdb database, Intellisense does not work even for tables that existed when starting dbForge.

    It would be nice to be able to have that feature even if it meant manually adding the table to the Intellisense cache.

  18. 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.

  19. Now, it is uncomfortably to drop temporary tables manually when a script is restarted.

    To avoid this problem I suggest to add settings to auto close current connection immediately after script has been completed

  20. The database diagram should be allowed for offline creation and modification. In the agile development world the relational model can through a number of changes before the physical model is ever deployed. It would be nice to be able to design the database offline and then when all parties agree, push those changes to the database.
