  1. If import data failed (eg duplicity in key, cannot save importlog to C:\ etc), then BACK button is disabled. Therefore after fixing the problem, we have to start import wizard from scratch
    It would be perfect simply click BACK button and try again

    If data import failed, you can leave the wizard open, fix the problem and click ‘Import More’ on the last page of the wizard. All import settings will be restored.

  2. Like MS_Description property for example on Table, Column, etc. Would be very useful on hover of object in browser or TSQL editor

  4. It is often quite hard to know that an update or insert statement, or DDL statement has actually happened. Data from a previous SELECT statement remains steadily there, and the only hint is to watch the right-hand corner and actually see this change from Ready to Executing to Ready - but if you miss that, even the Output window is not definitive. A status bar PER TAB - like Management Studio - including the last number of rows affected, the last execution duration IN THAT TAB, etc. would be immensely helpful.

  6. Currently, the screen is divided onto two horizontal parts where the top window contains objects and the bottom one has their text representation which is not quite convenient because there is a lot of spare place left not used.

    Visually, it would be much more convenient to have the ability to place the windows vertically rather than horizontally unlike the current implementation.

    For example, like in AdeptSQL Diff.

  8. Examples:
    IIF() function is not colored
    CONCAT function is colored blue instead of pink (which I think should be the case)
    FORMAT function is not colored

  9. I would like to be able to select all column in results grid, like you can do with row. Click on column header now only toggles sorting mode or filter. I need this option often to copy data to another query, or excel. SSMS has this feature so I got used to it.

    This can be performed with the ‘Export Data’ feature that can be invoked from the popup menu of the grid or from the grid’s toolbar.

  10. Hello

    The new version is more stable.
    The quality of implementation is excellent.

    Congratulations.

    Just like to make a reservation:

    In Beta had a property in Connection tab: Document Category.
    No more this option?

    thank you

    The feature is available in dbForge Studio for SQL Server, v.3.8. Please uninstall a beta version and install the released one.

  11. In Database Explorer, navigate to Database - Security - Schema. Right click and create a 'New Schema' option.

  12. Hello
    I'm testing the free beta version of you and would like to congratulate you for the excellent product quality.
    Opportunity to suggest adding a feature that will certainly add more value to the product:
    - When you select an object in a SQL text (eg procedure) command, enable a new menu option to edit it. If a table, to list its structure. Thus, it avoids the need to access the Database Explorer and get the corresponding object.

    Such a feature is present in the Standard Edition of dbForge SQL Complete and is called ‘Go To Definition’. You can access it by pressing F12.

  13. Especially systems that provide a command line tool to perform tasks like CheckIn/CheckOut/AddFile ...
    E.g. Seapine Surround or others

  15. In dbForge - as with SSMS - when you run a query, the results appear in a pane at the bottom. SSMS lets you easily toggle the visiblity of that pane with the Ctrl+R keyboard shortcut.

    You can do the same thing with dbForge but there's no keyboard shortcut for it. Instead you have to click on the little double down arrow button at bottom right.

    Please add a keyboard shortcut so it's easy to quickly toggle the visiblilty of the results pane.

    Thanks!

  16. Can we please have an option to select a color for variables?
    Having a selectable color for variables, allows us to more readily see where we are using variables in a large script, by making them stand out.

    This is now governed by the ‘Variable’ item in the ‘Environment → Font and Colors’ section of the ‘Options’ window (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu).

  17. I have database with many table and when I must create a new table I must move in the top of the database to select table and after make right botton to create a new table and this is not quickly.If I can have the same possibility also in the table context menu this could be nice.

  18. Can we have an option to choose that makes dbForge generate "if exists" statement when generating scripts for database objects?
    Ie:
    when clicking on a sproc, table, view or synonym and selecting: "Generate Script As" - "Drop and Create", it would be nice if the generated script checks if the entity exists before dropping it.

    Currently, I have to do this manually every time to have a decent deployment script.

  19. It'd be great if dbForge Studio could periodically save a copy of the query file in some temp folder and also provide an interface to search all that history (and not just the current window).

  20. An interface for tSQLt tests. Schemas, procedures, add test, add test class (schema) and so on. Something like Red Gates Sql Test but as a VS add-in and with the ability to view a single database. Also. the ability to the various displayed objects would be very useful. Filters could be fairly simple, class name contains, test procedure contains, begins with, ... Would be nice if the filters could be saved between sessions but certainly not a requirement.
