  1. Right click on a database on a SQL Server 2022 Enterprise Edition Instance and select Edit Database. Switch to the Options tab. Select the Compatibility level dropdown, I am only seeing up to SQL Server 2019 (150) as options, I am missing the SQL Server 2022 (160) option and need to manually write the ALTER DATABASE statement to set it.

  2. Currently when I use Query designer the resulting query is expressed as:

    SELECT
      Hygiene360Log.Hygiene360LogId,
      Hygiene360Log.RequestDate
    FROM dbo.Hygiene360Log
    

    Where what I want is the minimum length of text to correctly identify tables and objects, like this:

    SELECT
      Hygiene360LogId,
      RequestDate
    FROM Hygiene360Log
    

    It's very annoying

  3. Migration Based Deployment System

    I’m searching for an option that the database keeps a log of the migrations (scripts) that are already performed. When I’m deploying new migrations it can simply look which migrations are already done (or set to not done) and continue from there.

    When my colleague is then updating his database he can execute all scripts which aren’t yet done on his database. This will results in his database being completely updated while saving, updating of removing the data (This is done without a compare (just script executions) which is great, because his changes aren’t removed). Then…

  4. It would be extremely helpful if the results of a dbForge Search (within SSMS) could be exported (or at a minimum, be able to be highlighted and copied).

    Also helpful would be a way to narrow/filter the Found In results (to say just body). This would be moot point if data could be exported.

  5. Typing "order" after a table name brings up the intellisense with "ORDER BY", yet when hitting tab to accept, only "ORDER" gets entered in the text area, the only way to get both words is by hitting Enter. Why not on tab like I'm used to?

  6. It would be great if the system would automatically refresh an object when you open it to edit. SSMS does pulls the current version, but this system just opens the cached version. This has cost me hours over the time I've used this product. One example use case:

    • Right click a stored procedure > modify
    • Make changes
    • F5 to run update script
    • Close window
    • Sometime later, repeat and you get the version that was from before you made the first changes.

  8. When OPENJSON along with WITH to list fields to pull from the JSON data the fields are not visible for code completion purposes. For example in the query below there is no code completion for B.* in the select list and the fields need to be entered manually.

    SELECT PD.ProductDimId AS ProductDim
    , [Date] = CAST(JSONVALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.trandate') AS DATE)
    , TONumber = JSON
    VALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.tranid')
    , TransactionInternalId = J.InternalId
    , [Status] = JSONVALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.status')
    , Line = B.line
    , B.Quantity
    , TOCurrentValueUSD = B.CurrentUSDValue
    , TOLandedCostPerItem = b.LandedCostPerUnit
    , FromLocation = CASE JSON
    VALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.location') WHEN 16 THEN 'In Transit/On Water' ELSE…

  10. Currently, unless you override it, the semi-colon is used as the default delimiter for all CSV export and copy functions. It would be very helpful to be able to set the comma as the default in options.

    This can be setup in the ‘Data Export → CSV’ section of the ‘Options’ window (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu).

  11. Please implement. Support of simple shortcuts for work with lines (that not implemented as well) like in notepad++ or Visual Studio or MSSMS. I mean such shortcuts and features as : Ctrl+D - duplicate line, Ctrl+L - remove line, Ctrl+J - join lines etc.

  12. I often find myself copying a list of data from a column to be used in another where clause and manually adding the commas. It would be great I could copy a list of values from a column and paste the values separated with commas

    This can be performed by right-clicking the data grid and selecting ‘Copy Data As → CSV’ from the popup menu.

  13. Support for Common Table Expressions (CTEs)

  15. I see that you are using Developer Express Grids and controls but that you are using version 13 compared to the current version 19. Please update the grids and controls to the current version and allow users access to most of the features those grids provide.

  17. I am using dbForge Studio 2019 Express. I can select text vertically but I can not edit it. In other editors, when I edit text, all rows are updated.

    I suggest to copy this feature of Notepad ++ or SQL Server Management Studio.

  18. 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.

  19. Default file save encoding is UTF-8. Would be nice to be able to change the default to something else, e.g. Western European (Windows) -Codepage 1252 to make it easier to work with those scripts in other tools.

  20. when i view a query result, i see all the records selected. i need a quick way to select these records and import into excel. the current copy to csv to clipboard separates the data with a semicolon. when i paste this to xls, it puts each row into cell A. i have to save the file and then import to xls and change the field separator to a semi colon.

    thanks
