  3. In SQL Server Managment Studio there is an view: Object explorer details. Where I can see details for all tables in my database. And for example I can sort tables by row count. Similar view in DbForge has fixed columns: Schema, Principal, Partitioned, Create Date, Modify Date, filegroup, Change tracking, Lock_Escalation. But there is no possibility to add extra columns especially: Data space used, index space used, row count.

  4. Currently it appears column customization (sort order, filter, column width) is only preserved between executions for the first tab and only when it is the active tab then the queries are run. Would be nice if it was preserved for all tabs.

    In one query window:

    SELECT Data= 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3;

    SELECT Data= 'A' UNION SELECT 'B' UNION SELECT 'C';

    Run the query and the results are put on to results at tabs. If you change sort orders for the second tab and re-run the sort order is lost. If you change the sort order of…

  5. Sql logins associated with an active directory group (windows authentification) are shown in data explorer's security/users node, but not listed in the security manager.
    Thus, if you double click on it in the explorer "object does not exits" pop up and the user cannot be edited.

  6. Hi,

    it would be great, if we could get the column names in the clipboard when we copy the results of a comparaison.

    Use case:
    Launch a comparaison, see what is Only in Source, Only in target
    Copy the results of the grid, paste in an excel file, you'll get the datas but no column name

  9. At this time the XML viewer displays XML data pretty printed, but as soon as it is saved to an XML file the pretty print is lost and it turns into one long line. I believe that exporting XML data has the same result. My workaround is to put all the XML data in the clipboard and have Notepad++ save it as XML file and it saves the pretty printing. This workaround is not desirable as it is extra steps that should not be needed.

    Please allow an option in the XML viewer (and exporting) to save/export XML data "pretty…

  12. The search feature in the data view is very slow with large data sets both locally and remotely. In my case I use Azure SQL. Once the data has been retrieved I would like to be able to search the data in the gridview without an additional query to the remote server. You could implement this as a toggle button in the search dialog.

    Thanks,
    Karl

  13. When I add an extended property (eg. description) in unicode, the generated script does not have N prefix for unicode value. As a result, my added property value gets unreadable after save.

  15. It is typical to write or extend a sql stmt on the top of a query window and to see the result in the bottom.
    dbForge has not that standard behaviour for this window. My Suggestion is to configure or save the last the window layout as it will be needed.
    I know there are two buttons in the bottom to click on to change this layout but when you work the whole day with this tool and you have click 200 times a day these both buttons it's getting bothersome and not a good user experience.

  17. There should be possible to rename a tab. This should override the SSMS Caption template. It should not override the filename if it is a file that is saved to disk.

    Could you please describe it in more detail? A video or screenshots would be also of help.

  19. Add ability for custom notation for names of Index, Unique Key, Foreign Key like as EMS SQL Studio.

    {LocalTable}FK{Foreign Table}
    {LocalTable}UQ{FieldName}

  20. When the database explorer has very connections (more than 70), is terrible find a connection name, with an order or 'textbox search' would be great.
