  1. Add ability to define object file name format in Source Control and Schema Compare

    Currently dbForge Source Control generates files using <schema>_<objectname>.sql naming convention.
    dbForge Schema Compare does the same if you script objects to a folder.

    Such naming convention does not match our naming conventions.

    Can you please add ability to define object file name format in Source Control and Schema Compare? At least define separator between schema and object name and file extension.

  2. Ability to include Text Compare results in SQL Schema Compare Report

    In dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server you can see actual code difference in UI in Text Compare section. But when it produces a report there is no option to include Text Compare details. Report only has object level details.

    It would be useful to to have option of including actual Text Compare for automated notifications about schema changes.

    When I press control-N in an SQL window, why does the new window not inherit the server and database of the current window?

  5. Invalid error line for "Display Estimated Execution Plan"

    use this script for test:
    DECLARE @FILENAME AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @FILE    NAMEPRE AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @FILE    NAMESUF AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @SQL    STMT AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

        SET @SQL_STMT = 
'SELECT 
        t1.*,
        CASE WHEN c1 IS NULL
             THEN ''Y''
             ELSE ''N''
        END AS [COLUMN1],
        t2.c3
   FROM t1
   LEFT JOIN (SELECT *
                FROM (VALUES
(''v1'',''v1'',''v1''),
(''v2','v2','v2''),
(''v3'',''v3'',''v3'')) RET (c1, c2, c3)) t2 ON t1.c1 = t2.c2 '

    if you press "Display Estimated Execution Plan", then the first line will be highlighted with an error: Incorrect syntax near ','.
    But if you press "Execute" then correct one will be highlighted

  6. Ability to set edition for trial mode.

    During the 30 day trial, the application runs in enterprise mode. It would be ideal to have the option to change the edition that it runs as so that we can easily see what features we gain/lose with each edition. For example: My company is looking at standard edition. I have to keep going to the website to see if the feature I am currently playing with comes with that edition. It is making my evaluation much more difficult.

  12. password change on expiry

    My dba set a security policy to reset the users sql password once a month.
    When i log in using MS-SSMS, when the change password is due, the application tells me that the password is expired already and then offers me to change my sql password immediately.
    DbForge just tells me that i cannot use my old password.
    Can you add this change password on expiry feature please?

    Now, the updated view editor contains the text of the view as well as the visual representation of the query on the diagram.

    Quando executo uma consulta pela primeira vez, após a carga da aplicação, nada é exibido. Somente após fechar uma das janelas é que consigo voltar a visualizar a saída dos resultados.

  14. Invalid scripting for FK deleting using "IF OBJECT_ID('FK_...', 'F') IS NOT NULL" check.

    Invalid scripting for FK deleting using "IF OBJECTID('FK...', 'F') IS NOT NULL" check.
    There is need to use schema as part of FK name. Reason: "OBJECT_ID() function returns NULL for "non-dbo schema" FK.

    Bad script:
    IF OBJECTID('FKFDlalala', 'F') IS NOT NULL
    ALTER TABLE EE.FD    lalala
    DROP CONSTRAINT FKFDlalala
    GO

    Uber script:
    IF OBJECTID('EE.FKFDlalala', 'F') IS NOT NULL
    ALTER TABLE EE.FD    lalala
    DROP CONSTRAINT FKFDlalala
    GO

  16. Showing the connection color in the status bar

    Apologies, not sure if this is a bug or needs to be a feature. I love the identification of tabs using the shape and color of a connection. I would LOVE it if that color would also transfer to the status bar, which on my setup is always blue. Due to the status bar's visibility, I get super confused when I'm on a connection colored, say, red (production) but the status bar is blue (test).

  17. Open new tabs next to current one

    Opening up a new tab all the way at the end is so Internet Explorer (not in a good way). 99.999% of the time if I'm opening up a new tab it's intended to supplement my work in the tab I'm in, so visually it is most useful if it just starts up next to the current tab.

  18. Refresh option in Data Import wizard

    When I use the import wizard it would be handy to have a refresh option. If I'm partway through the wizard and decide I'd like to create a table manually, I can't then specify that table to import to without closing the wizard, force a refresh and start all over again
