  1. When editing SQL text, would it be possible to change the default action of cut (CTRL-X), copy (CTRL-C) and paste (CTRL-V) to operate on the current line if no selection is visible? Every programming editor I've used do this as the default. An example use case: Cursor is in the middle of my current line and I want to delete the line. Current actions required are to press the HOME key (most times twice because the line is indented), hold down the SHIFT key and press the DOWN ARROW key, then press DELETE, or start typing with the new text.…

  5. Hi,

    I would like to suggest a new feature which will allow changing default export "options" for all exports to Excel/HTML format? I'm thinking about fonts, colors, alternating row colors etc.

    I don't like default coloring so I would like to change it for all exports I do from dbForge Studio. Now I have to change them every time, and it's tricky because I have to manually copy complex colors to dialog, select fonts.

    I was thinking that "Save template" would help me with this, but this saves whole data source too so I always get same data exported when…

  6. On the database diagram, add ability to create virtual relationships between tables in different databases. This would help in documenting the implied relationships between databases.

  9. Please add multiline tabs. I often have many tabs and it's much easier to navigate between them visually (i know where is each of them) then with dropdown or arrows.

    Also, please add more descriptive names in document tab names, something like SQL1.SERVERNAME.DATABASE, or options with parameters so that everyone can name tabs based on connection. Now everything is SQL1, SQL2, SQL3 regardles on which database I'm connected to (and I'm usually connected to more that one database). Coloring helps me to distinguish between development and production database, but it's not easy do distinguish between two or more production databases…

    In version 6.0, the feature Execution Notification is added. It’s managed by the ‘Environment → Documents → Notifications’ section of the ‘Options’ window (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu).

    Will that be enough or should there also be an option to choose a file to play?

  11. Would you be able to change the 'Retrieve Data' context menu so that rather than doing a 'select * from table' it does a 'select top n from table' (where 'n' is a number I can configure).

    I like having the retrieve data menu, but I avoid using it because with some tables it can lock up the system due to it selecting all rows (which can be millions of rows).

  12. Add option to hide schema as part of the table name in database diagrams. Since the new version 5.4 table name in database diagram show "SchemaName.TableName". Sometimes long table name get cropped so we have to extend the table's box to see the table name. Diagram need to be larger now... not good...
    I'll go back to an older version for the time being.

  13. Shortcut Ctrl +Alt+o is in conflict with windows Alt+o . So you can't get the Polish letter 'ó' what is annoying when try to comment your code in Polish not only because the letter, but especially because jumping out of your current context. Suggestion: option for you own definition of the short cut.

  14. A cyclic automatic query refresh should be possible. I'm a developer and like from time to time to observe my data. An idea is to have some buttons to <refresh every second>, <refresh every five seconds> and <refresh every 30 seconds>.

  15. When you do multiple queries in a single SQL editor window, the results are tabbed down in the DATA window.
    If you whant to export all of them to a single file (ex: excel2007), you have to export every single of them.

    And also if you add the requested feature of exporting the executed SQL sentence would be ÜBER! :)

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
