  1. Change query result window behaviour

    Some users (and I'm amonh them) prefer to see query results in separate window. I can change it when I open new query, but there is no option to make this choice by default. In SQL Server Management Studio you can move between these windows (query, result, output window) by pressing F6, there is no hotkey for that.

  3. Add Fearure like SQL Everywhere for queries.

    Have a look free tool "SQL Everywhere" which is very good tool for query database. You should add such feature like prefix DBO, Copy query output as "IN" clause and may more.

  5. We really need the ability to backup and restore Azure SQL databases

    SQL Server (non-Azure) makes it very easy to backup and restore. Not so with Azure. Even if we can't restore to Azure, it would be great to backup the database like any other SQL database, and restore it to a local SQL instance.

  6. Print Preview

    It would be nice to preview the printout of the database diagram(s) before electing to send them to the printer. Certainly would save on paper!

  10. Allow the "=" sign to be part of a keyboard shortcut

    Apologies: not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but would love to include the equals sign (=) as part of a keyboard shortcut. It is in SSMS ....

  11. Keyboard shortcut for selecting connection

    Mostly love the way dbForge Studio treats connections: the way you can set a color and shape, the way they persist and can be selected in the toolbar dropdown, etc.

    It would be great if that dropdown could be selected via keyboard shortcut.

  12. Displaying calculations in the status bar

    I'm mooching this off of SqlRefactorStudio for SSMS, but since I'm really loving my dbForge Studio experience ... as T-SQL proficiency increases across my company, even our accountants are diving straight into SQL coding. They (and therefore I) have an inherent love of highlighting cells in Excel and seeing a number of common math done on the selected region such as SUM, MAX, MIN, and AVERAGE.

    SQL Refactor Studio (for SSMS) has this remarkable ability to highlight cells in the result set and display the math dynamically in the status bar. dbForge Studio in all its magnificence doesn't have this…

  13. Relationship names on a DB diagram are not "comments". Need ability to show table descriptions independent of showing relationship names.

    When "show comments" is selected, both table descriptions and the names of relationship lines are displayed. The relationship names are not comments, and mostly clutter up an otherwise clear and concise diagram. Show comments should only show table "comments"; a separate button/option is needed to display relationship names for those who want to see them (I do not).

  14. Add properties dialog and shrink option

    Simple feature missing from dbForge Studio SQL - DB properties dialog, so I cannot, for example, view size of DB.
    Also - a related feature - database shrink option is not there. Shrinking whole DB and/or just transaction logs is a common task in our workflow, to save space on DB server, after a backup was restored.

    Both features are present in MS SQL Management Studio. If dbForge is to replace MS tool, it must have these two features.

  15. Data compare / Copy selected records with foreign keys into another DB

    Please implement selective export of certain records and all related records in child tables (by foreign key).
    Doing whole data compare in our case is estimated at 7.5hrs, which is too long for practical use.
    This feature would be very useful in our reproduce/troubleshoot workflows, replacing whole DB backup/restore, which is roughly 150GB, times 2, to be moved over network.

  17. Allow export to new tab in dbforge

    When exporting SQL, many times I want to open it and run it or parts of it inside dbforge. For that reason, and because I am used to it from SSMS, I would like to export to new query window.
