  1. It would be great to be able to group databases into custom folders. This is very useful when you have a lot of databases and many of them are logically related (like ReportServer and ReportServerTempDb)

  2. When right-clicking a view or table, please have SQL Studio do a background "refresh" of the view or table before opening the edit window so the user can be assured of getting the current code or view. If I don't remember to hit F5 or 'refresh' I get old, cached data which can be very confusing and frustrating.

  4. When exporting data to a spreadsheet, it would be nice if it would include the SQL that produced the data in a separate spreadsheet tab. Toad does this and it's a nice feature because if you produce data for someone and they later want the same data, you can just have them send you the spreadsheet so you can run the exact same query for them again.

  5. Add the ability to pan the schema using the mouse. Like we see on other product with the hand tool icon. It would be simpler then using the scroll bar or or mouse wheel with keyboard.

  6. Please add a filter to Object Search results like 'Display distinct names of objects only' (or similar),. That will help with searching objects (tables/views) that contain certain data, but not data itself. Say when I search for string 'rufhweirfi' in my a database, it returns me 4000+ rows from 58 tables, but I need only names of objects that contain such data. That would help with searching pairs master-detail in database that has no relationships for tables.

  7. I would like to have my current SQL query be copied to the clipboard and formatted for pasting in the Visual Studio IDE. Example:

    Select * from MyTable

    would get copied into the clipboard as:
    String sSQL = "Select * from MyTable";

    Obviously larger statements are more complex.

  8. The Find and Replace defaults to a scope of "All Open Documents", which is quite irritating and potentially dangerous when Replacing. This causes a jump to a different open document and is an unnecessary distraction. A safer and more reasonable default would be "Current Document", as most of the time I am interested in finding something in the current document. Very rarely am I interested in finding text in all other open documents (Object Finder is a better tool for that kind of thing) and would only want to Replace in All Open Documents in very controlled circumstances.

  9. In SSMS I can press backspace to navigate to the parent container. So i have a procedure selected, pressing backspace will take me to "programmability." One more and I am at the database level. From there I can quickly jump to tables, etc.

    With hundreds of procedures I find myself scrolling for days just to get back to "tables"

  11. This is a critical documentation feature for many folks using Visio. If we could choose to ignore nonkey columns in display, the database documentation would be be a great alternative to manually mapping in visio.

  12. I'd like a hotkey option to copy database diagram to my chosen default format, like PNG. I'm currently having 3-4 steps to simply save the diagram as a PNG. I'd also like the option to COPY TO CLIPBOARD AS: PNG, JPEG, ETC.

    One additional thought, attaching a comment to a table, not free floating. Kinda like a visio diagram. That would be nice for helping improve speed of documentation.

    1. The routed line that maps relationship of the table to the parent with a foreign key align the line drawn between them to the columns mapped, so that easy to visualize the exact FK column matching visually.

    2. That an additional display option allowed. Instead of just CONSTRAINTS alone, offer a Foreign Key option. This pane at the bottom wouldn't be the name of the foreign key, but instead the myid - references Accounts(Id) This would make the documentation easier to use.

  15. I can go into detail upon this being developed. Sublime Text (and to a lesser degree visual studio) support multiple cursor editing which is a tremendous boost in efficiency of coding. At this time Dbforge SQL Studio doesn't support this. Recommend adding this functionality.

  16. Cannot import color scheme from visual studio vssettings or from corresponding sql complete export from ssms or visual studio. https://studiostyl.es/ offers a whole range of custom colors for code enviroment. I'd love the ability to import a color scheme without the needed to manually build item by item in the options menu currently offered in sql studio.

  17. Standard shortcut in visual studio/ssms missing. LineDelete.
    I currently map to shift+delete and it will delete the entire line the cursor is one. However, I cannot find a corresponding command to map in DbForge Studio

  19. The software is great at restoring query tabs from the last session. It would be good to be able to save the current session's query tabs (and sql content) as a workspace. This would simplify working on multiple projects.
