  1. Is it possible to add the coloring for NULL values in results grid, like SSMS has (yellow, or customizable in options). It is much easier to spot null values that way.

  2. In SQL Complete the F12 (Go to definition) expands the item in database explorer. In dbForge Studio this opens table in new window.

    I would like similar option in text editor context menu, for example Locate in Database Explorer, which will expand to the wanted node, whether it is table, column, procedure, view etc.

  3. In my development, I use :variable for paramters. I come from the Oracle world. This @ thing causes me 2 issues. First, it stops my query from working with copy/paste once I debug it. Second, when I copy a query from the web, or my app, and try to paste it in, I have to edit it.

    It would be nice if EITHER:
    1) The : worked as a bind variable (even if I had to turn on a flag)
    2) The : REPLACED The @ if that makes it easier for you to do...

  4. I've noticed that the dbForge MySQL Studio database connection properties includes "Use Security Protocols" and includes options for SSL/SSH connections, as well as public key authentication, whereas dbForge MSSQL Server Studio does not include such a feature... Would be very helpful.

  5. Filter Objects in databse explorer and then select contecxt menu item to generate the CREATE script.
    This would be much faster and easier to handle than the newly integrated Generate Script Wizard.

  6. Copy of Request from Oracle Features Page:
    dbForge Studio for SQL Server should provide users with the ability to split the editor window horizontally. This feature should be equivalent to that provided by tools such as Microsoft's Visual Studio. This feature will be specially helpful while working with large queries and result sets.

  9. It would be nice to have a tool which allows me to see all dependencies like a graph for a specific object. This helps me to identify all possible impacts; this would be a killer feature.

  12. I need to keep brackets around stored procedure and function names, but dbForge keeps removing them.
    Original
    CRATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SprocNameSample] After saving my changes to
    the sproc:
    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SprocNameSample

    This behavior goes against the convention established at my workplace.

    Please allow us to keep the brackets in place when we save changes to Stored Procedures and Functions.

  14. Can the database diagram process allow us to drag a table onto the canvas and dbForge pulls in all the tables that have a foreign key relationship to it?
    It would be nice when studying a new database if we can drop a table on the canvas and get an idea what other tables are related to the one we dropped.

  18. Deliver with dbForge also small utility to make schema snapshot. Sometimes I need to get DB schema from customers and it would be nice to send them such utility. Them will create by this tool schema snapshot and send it to me. Then I could run schema compare in dbForge.

  19. Add an option to the Schema Compare feature to ignore CLR objects(CLR Type, CLR Procedure, CLR Function, Aggregate Function).

    Note that the option shouldn't affect usual objects (Function, Procedure, User data type, User table type).

  20. Can you please add functionality for if not exists condition while generating sync script for tables and procedures.
    for example : if db compare tools detects that a column needs to be added into other database in such a way that it will first check if that column does not exists in target table then only create that column.
    and if exist procedure then drop and create procedure.
