  1. In SSMS, when you search for a term, all locations of that term are highlighted on the scrollbar, making it easy to navigate to the locations of that term and to know where they appear in the file. In dbForge Studio, you can bookmark all, but that requires you to scroll through the entire document to find all instances and does not provide a complete picture of all of the places the term appears.

    This is a very important feature that is missing for me as I rely on that heavily in SSMS. I would like to see similar functionality…

  2. In previous versions, custom snippets were in the first positions. This is not the case in the current version.

    It would be nice to be able to choose in the settings what to sort the results by and the possibility to prioritize custom snippets to the first positions

  3. Instead of saving an .sql file in a path, create a managed store with the following features:

    • Title, description - use AI to generate a suggestion for both fields
    • Category and assiciated category management tool
    • Extract and save any variables and target DB used by the query (to be used when recalling)
    • Editing, deletion, importing and exporting of stored queries
    • Recall stored queries with intelligent search functionality
    • Dialog when recalling function that would prompt for confirmation or changes to target db, and variable values.
    • recent and most used sorting in File menu

  4. Please move the Clear button for Query History from the main UI screen to be in the Options menu. In context, it seems like it is going to clear the search filters rather than wiping out the entire query history. It does warn you - but the history is so useful and important. Clearing it out should be a harder, more explicit step than just clicking twice. Not that I've done that... Multiple times...

  5. At present, if I developed a SQL query, stored it and try to load it back into dbForge at a later date, dbForge 'remembers' the SQL connection it is associated with and tries to connect automatically. I want to be able to disable this behaviour via options - eg opening file does NOT try to be clever.

    EXTENDED RATIONALE

    In common usage, the feature is quite useful. Unfortunately, in some of the projects I am working with, I have to constantly switch between different environments (prod, pre-prod, demo, devops, etc) protected by external VPN. All environments are hosting the same…

  7. After Script Object as Create / Alter (ctrl- F12) please name the new tabbed window with the scripted object's name instead of SqlQuery99.sql.

    And also please make this forum easier to search.

    I can't believe nobody asked for this feature before, but I couldn't find an existing item to upvote.

    I hate duplicate tickets just like anyone!

  8. I'd like to be able to delete user defined (custom) data generation configurations directly from the GUI.

    Currently, you can create (but not delete, nor edit) user defined custom data generator configurations easily.

    Often it is necessary to delete these custom configs because you've created new ones...or saved it too many times...or for other reasons. However, there's no option to delete from the GUI. In order to delete them, you have to find their location and delete xml files found under C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Devart\dbForge...\Data Generators... there you're presented with only timestamped files with no naming that indicates which user defined generation…

  9. As a developer, I'd like to be able to check in custom data generator configurations with the rest of my project's configuration into source control.

    Currently, the xml configuration files are stored in a separate far-off location /Users/Public/... and this makes it not ideal if you want to version your generator configurations to share with the rest of the team through Git, as an example.

  10. I am trying to do a data pump but once it is finished the data is almost useless because I don't need 1,000 records per-table, but as many as meaningful are, the children records derived from smaller amounts of records in its corresponding Mater or Parent tables

    So If have for instance ... let's say Businesses (1) and Stores (2) so I'd like to pump data just for these entities not 1,000 business and 1,000 stores but 1,000 billing records, 10,000 stock count records, 8,000 items catalog for each store ... derived from previous node ... like a tree structure…

  11. I want the ability to transpose the SQL result so you only view one record at a time and having the option to sort the column names or the values. And then adding buttons to iterate through the result set.

    And no, the card view does not serve this purpose.

  12. When it comes to bulk Data Pump imports from multiple files (e.g. Excel, *.csv), I'd really appreciate the ability to pass through the source import file name (as text) to a dedicated column within the destination SQL Server data table against each imported record.

    Personally, I use the DevOps PowerShell Automation import pathway and would find it a really handy addition for basic audits if it was accessible as a parameter on Invoke-DevartDataImport

    Thanks!

  13. The only thing that prevents me from using DBForge is the inability to run a single sql query on 10 different SERVERS simultaneously and see the aggregated resultset. In SSMS you can simply create a folder and put all of your server connections into that folder and then when you right click on the folder it allows you to connect to all X servers in that folder simultaneously. If you run a top10 query and you have 10 servers configured in that folder you get back a single 100 record resultset. Without a feature like this I can't leave SSMS…

  15. For source control (GIT) at the remote changes tab add a ignore/delete option.

    I started working with the database and deleted/renamed some stored procedures. When I detached and attached my source control (GIT) it wants to add the procedures which I have removed.
    This is fine when someone else changed it, but now I specifically want to delete this procedures. When working with this I can add them again, to delete them afterwards, or I can delete them in the folder and check them in with GIT, bypassing dbForge.

    The easy solution would be to add a ignore/delete/keep local option…

  16. Would be great if before exporting data into from SQL Server to google sheets the sheet is cleared, that way if in a second export less rows are exported there are no risk in export duplicates records.

  17. Create an automation component for the data pump functionality in dbForge whereby a user can set a source file containing data and then automatically have that data imported into a SQL table on a schedule or via a trigger.

  18. We really need support for Microsoft Fabric SQL endpoints, at the moment when i try to connect i get the error : "FUNCTION 'SESSIONPROPERTY' is not supported."
    But i can connect with others IDEs.

  19. It would be really handy to be able to rename tables when they are exported to Excel as anything past 31 characters and Excel will generate an error. The SQL server Data Import/Export tool has the ability to do this and comes in very handy.

  20. Provide the ability to make card view width wider. As it stands now, any character fields more than 10 characters do not appear completely within the view which makes the view useless. The ability to drag the view wider or simly have a width setting in the general setting would solve the issue.
