  1. Prevent auto format when opening stored procedure

    When I open an existing stored procedure with Modify menu item, dbForge studio formatting is automatically applied. Is there a way to prevent this?

  2. Fix Find and Replace dialog annoyances

    The Find and Replace dialog has two annoyances :
    1. "Look in:" should indicate "Selection" whenever the dialog is open and there is text selected in the query window. Particularly important for replace actions !
    2. When switching to either the "Find what:" or "Replace with:" edit field, the content should be selected instead of placing the cursor at the end. This way, what the user types reaplces the content of the edit box.

    Thanks for voting :)

  6. Improve code completion support for OPENJSON / WITH fields

    When OPENJSON along with WITH to list fields to pull from the JSON data the fields are not visible for code completion purposes. For example in the query below there is no code completion for B.* in the select list and the fields need to be entered manually.

    SELECT PD.ProductDimId AS ProductDim
    , [Date] = CAST(JSONVALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.trandate') AS DATE)
    , TONumber = JSON    VALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.tranid')
    , TransactionInternalId = J.InternalId
    , [Status] = JSONVALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.status')
    , Line = B.line
    , B.Quantity
    , TOCurrentValueUSD = B.CurrentUSDValue
    , TOLandedCostPerItem = b.LandedCostPerUnit

  7. Show object (tables,views,etc) by schema in explorer

  10. Schema Compare /Sync log

    Currently on the command line, the /sync option allows you to specify a file to write the sync script to, instead of executing immediately. When no file is specified, the sync is executed immediately. I would like a way to send the results of the sync operation to a log file of type .txt.

    I think it would be beneficial to have a couple of different logging levels:

    0 - verbose; each object start and stop time, warnings, and errors
    1 - warnings; only objects causing warnings or errors to occur
    2 - only errors

    Warnings should include the object…

  11. Generate CRUD Matrix from a SQL Server database.

    Generate a matrix showing tables vs. procs/functions that Create, Read, Update or Delete data in that table.

    Perhaps this could be achieved by expanding the detail available in the "Used By" section of each table.

    In version 6.0, the new command ‘Generate Script As → CRUD’ is available in the popup menu of a table in Database Explorer.

    This feature can be setup in the ‘Generate Scripts → CRUD’ section of the ‘Options window’ (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the popup menu).

  12. DB Forge crashing

    Probably 2-3 times a day DB Forge crashed. Quite often it does this while i'm not even using it. All I get is the windows 'dbForge Studio for SQL Server has stopped working' dialog (the one which has the Debug and Close Program buttons). This has started happening after the last update

  13. Add table triggers as an option to the Generate Scripts database scripting function

    The Generate Scripts function under Tasks is missing the option to include database triggers in the list of available objects to include in the output. Triggers are a fundamental component for replicating database schemas and should be included in the scripted output.

  14. Interface for tSQLt

    An interface for tSQLt tests. Schemas, procedures, add test, add test class (schema) and so on. Something like Red Gates Sql Test but as a VS add-in and with the ability to view a single database. Also. the ability to the various displayed objects would be very useful. Filters could be fairly simple, class name contains, test procedure contains, begins with, ... Would be nice if the filters could be saved between sessions but certainly not a requirement.

  16. Sticky "Object has invalid source text and cannot be saved"

    Often, when editing functions, and I try to save something with invalid syntax, I will get a pop-up with "Object has invalid source text and cannot be saved" instead of the useful list of errors with line numbers. (However, the product still often red-underlines a problematic portion in these cases.)

    That annoyance is separately reported here:

    https://devart.uservoice.com/forums/177009-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server/suggestions/7488676--object-has-invalid-source-text-improve-error-i

    However, sometimes, after getting this once, every successive save will fail with that error, even after the problem has been resolved. Copying and pasting into SSMS will verify that it is correct. Then closing and re-opening the function editor window will allow me…

  17. Comment / Un-comment a block of Code.

    Frequently I have the need to comment or un-comment a section of my SQL code, e.g. a set of columns or a portion of a WHERE clause. It would be nice if I could select the block, right-mouse, and select comment/un-comment to place the "--" characters in front of the selected lines of code.

  18. migration

    Migration Based Deployment System

    I’m searching for an option that the database keeps a log of the migrations (scripts) that are already performed. When I’m deploying new migrations it can simply look which migrations are already done (or set to not done) and continue from there.

    When my colleague is then updating his database he can execute all scripts which aren’t yet done on his database. This will results in his database being completely updated while saving, updating of removing the data (This is done without a compare (just script executions) which is great, because his changes aren’t removed). Then…
