  6. Multiple Database Connection for Each Environment

    We are having 6 Databases for each Environment like Dev or QA or UAT or Prod. Also due to cost control, the customer wants to have the Dev, QA & UAT environment on the same Server.
    I have access to all the Environments.
    When I want to with UAT environment, I want to see only the 6 Databases that are associated with the UAT Environment. Currently it shows access to all the Databases.
    I am the DBA and I want to make each connection with Name like UAT and only have 6 Databases selected.
    Please add this feature.

  9. Fix SSMS's ctrl-[] to go to end of brace or parenthesis. Implement SQL Complete's own

    Using ctrl [] to go to the beginning or end of a brace or parenthesis block has never worked for me even after upgrading SSMS multiple times over the years.

    I would like SQL Complete to have its own implementation to moving between beginning and end of brace or parenthesis.

  10. Ability to expand Group By to the same columns that are in the Select statement

    Ability to expand Group By to the same columns that are in the Select statement.
    When I hit tab after entering Group BY, I get the same columns listed as the ones for the Select. So I don't have to enter them manually

  11. Request for Filter Condition in the Data Grid

    Would like to have a filter condition in the Data Grid. Because:
    1. We have about anywhere from 25+ to 200+ Column in a Table.
    2. We have to navigate to the required column and then select the filter condition or write the SQL Statement.
    3. But if we have something like below, the user can type the column name and provide the condition for the filter.
    4. The name of the column is auto-populated as well.

  12. Add Test mode for SQL

    I used to work with Apex SQL where there was test mode. This is a very simple, but convenient feature. There was a button "Test Mode" beside the "Execute Script" button. The button had two states - pressed and unpressed. Clicking the button added two rows. "BEGIN TRANSACTION" was added at the beginning of the script and "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION" was added at the end. When unpressing the button, the two rows disappeared.

  13. Rows affected not be summed up

    When you do an insert and it fires a trigger, the rows affected returned is a lump sum. In SSMS, each row affected is a separate output. So for example, you would get the number of rows the 1st trigger caused and the the actual inserted rows in the prime table. Same applied to update and delete actions.

  14. Option to choose where New Sql tab will open

    A new preference to indicate whether the New Sql tab should to the furthermost right or left. Sometimes when you're working things out, you want to see the tabs in the progression of when you built in or just to know that the latest work is way to the right or left

  15. Provide a way to disable auto-commit mode.

    When auto-commit is turned off, your DML is always embedded in a transaction, without a commit or a rollback. Then, make it clear that there is an open transaction, and provide a commit and a rollback button. Many other tools provide this important feature

  16. Pewrmit override Alias name assignment during Query design when LONG table names prevent viewing of columns/fields in the columns window.

    From a SSMS Query window execute a statement like:
    CREATE TABLE #tempAllBin (ID Int);
    Then, in your query designed, browse to the TempDB and locate the new temp table. It will have a name like: "#tempAllBins________________________________________________________________________________________________________000000090BC2".
    Select this table name and drag it into the query designer window in your tool. - The length of the table name makes it impossible to view the column names in the column window, as well as a number of other complcations arising from the length of that table name. I see no way to assign a SHORTER ALIAS Name in your query designer…

  18. External datasource wizard for Azure

    Azure doesn't support linked servers. It has an external data source feature instead. SSMS allows creation of a template. It would be great if dbForge Studio supported the same but with a wizard that would allow connection of an excel spreadsheet OR another Azure database on the same Azure elastic server.

  19. use the repository name as the folder name in sql source control

    I have a standard folder on my laptop for source control files that gets backed up automatically. I've changed the default folder for source control in the settings but instead of using the repository name as the source folder, it's using a scrambled name.

    can you make the software use the repository name instead of the random name so I know which database I'm looking at when looking in my source control folder?

  20. Improve keyboard support

    I click "New Data Comparison" (or "New Schema Comparison"), then ALT-W to open the "Database Connection Properties" dialog, then TAB to get into the "Server" input box. Once there, I type a part of the name of the server and the list of available servers works nicely!

    It seems that I must use down DOWN ARROW to select the server from the list and press ENTER before I can get out.

    However, if I type the entire server name, I can't get out of that box! Pressing TAB or ENTER does nothing.
