Configurable Layout
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.3 votes -

Option to set comma as the default delimiter for CSV export and copy functions
Currently, unless you override it, the semi-colon is used as the default delimiter for all CSV export and copy functions. It would be very helpful to be able to set the comma as the default in options.
3 votesThis can be setup in the ‘Data Export → CSV’ section of the ‘Options’ window (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu).

Refresh from server when right click > modify a stored procedure, etc.
It would be great if the system would automatically refresh an object when you open it to edit. SSMS does pulls the current version, but this system just opens the cached version. This has cost me hours over the time I've used this product. One example use case:
- Right click a stored procedure > modify
- Make changes
- F5 to run update script
- Close window
- Sometime later, repeat and you get the version that was from before you made the first changes.

Use *Full* Intellisense Suggestion With Tab
Typing "order" after a table name brings up the intellisense with "ORDER BY", yet when hitting tab to accept, only "ORDER" gets entered in the text area, the only way to get both words is by hitting Enter. Why not on tab like I'm used to?

dbForge Search
It would be extremely helpful if the results of a dbForge Search (within SSMS) could be exported (or at a minimum, be able to be highlighted and copied).
Also helpful would be a way to narrow/filter the Found In results (to say just body). This would be moot point if data could be exported.

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…

Implement alternative ways to create new object
Why a new object can only be created from main nodes ("Tables", "Procedures"...). Uncomfortable when there are many items I have to scroll up to the top and only then I can create new object from popup.

Make syntax highlight coloring more up-to-date
Examples:
IIF() function is not colored
CONCAT function is colored blue instead of pink (which I think should be the case)
FORMAT function is not colored2 votesThis issue is fixed in the new version 4.0 of dbForge Studio for SQL Server http://www.devart.com/dbforge/sql/studio/download.html

structural highlighting
It would be very nice if dbForge could have an option to jump to/from Begin/End statements. This allows us to clearly see where a structure begins/ends (in large scripts).
Also faint lines connecting begin/end, ( and ), like DevExpress's CodeRush or Notepad++ would be very nice.
Currently you have faint lines around select statements and so forth. That is very useful, but the suggestion above will enhance the usefulness of the current structural highlighting.2 votes -
Allow Backing up to UNC or Mapped network drive
When creating a backup, I'd like the ability to store the .BAK file in a folder on another PC, either via a UNC file share (\servername\sharename\mybackup.bak) or a mapped drive (g:\backups\mybackup.bak). Right now dbForge Studio only lets you back up to the local hard drive of the server.
2 votesYou can amend the existing path and specify a mapped network drive right in the ‘Backup to disk’ list on the ‘General’ page of the Backup wizard.

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.

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).

Copy database from one server to another
SQL Server 2000 had an option that allowed you to copy a database from one server to another. This option copied schema and data all in one move. We used the option frequently to copy production databases from production to development servers. Your software can do this, but requires several steps.
1 voteWe would like to let you know that we have released dbForge Studio for SQL Server, v3.8 Beta where the feature you reported is implemented.

Thank you for your help in improving dbForge Studio for SQL Server.
