  1. Create virtual foreign keys in database diagrams without writing them into database

    I like to create visualizations of Data Warehouses using dbforge. In a Data Warehouse, foreign keys are typically not created physically.
    If I could create data base diagrams in dbforge, importing existing tables and creating virtual foreign keys it would be the perfect tool for DWH documentation.

  8. 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)

  9. Temp Table to XML conversion

    Most of the times we will take input parameters as XML datatype but finally output we are getting in table format. If we need to get the output on XML formal then we need option to convert datatable to XML.

  10. Ability to unpin Data window from query

    It seems good if you add ability to unpin data window from query. For example, It will be nice (if you use two monitors) to edit query on the first monitor and view data on the second.

  11. Key bindings like in Sublime Text 2

    The way that Sublime Text 2 manages key bindings is far superior to the Visual Studio way which dbForge Studio currently implements. Specifically, I would like to be able to edit a text file that describes how keys ought to be bound.

    Personally, I prefer emacs-style key bindings, but not everyone does and my keyboard doesn't have the home/end/pgup/pgdown buttons because I use a MacBook Pro.

    dbForge Studio doesn't appear to support bindings for moving to the end or beginning of a line, so I'm stuck without an ability to remap these keys.

  12. Comparing and synchronizing Views using a different schema-mapping doesn't work

    When comparing and synchronizing views while using a different schema-mapping:
    *) equal views are marked as different cause of the different schema in the view name and the different schema within the select -> please adapt the compare-logic to accept the correct displayed sqls as equal
    *) the generated sql for updating views doesn't work because they contain the right schema (target) in the view name, but the wrong schema (source) within the select -> please replace objects with the source schema within the select of the view with the target schema

  14. Don't remove "Recent Files" items just because of network access issues.

    When selecting a Recent Files' item that is not currently accessible, dbForge for SQL Server removes that item from the list. This is a highly unusual UX experience and very annoying.

  15. Provide a means to 'preview' the results of a sql query prior to actually executing it.

    When designing fairly complex queries that would result in the altering of several (potentially hundreds) of rows of data it would be nice to be able to see a 'preview' of what the results of running it might be. This would help greatly in refining the query as it is being written so that it really does end up producing the desired results.

  16. Duplicate query

    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.

  19. Allow :param bind variables like we use in our Code

    In my development, I use :variable for paramters. I come from the Oracle world. This @ thing causes me 2 issues. First, it stops my query from working with copy/paste once I debug it. Second, when I copy a query from the web, or my app, and try to paste it in, I have to edit it.

    It would be nice if EITHER:
    1) The : worked as a bind variable (even if I had to turn on a flag)
    2) The : REPLACED The @ if that makes it easier for you to do...
