  1. 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.

    You 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  6. Add ability to enter product key on trial versions

    Not a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to just enter a product key, instead of having to download a new version.

  7. 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.

  9. Make LOB editor window remember its size and position or make it dockable

    Make LOB editor window remember its size and position.

    I work with long strings sometimes. The editor window opens for a quarter of the screen, so I have to extend it manually every time, it's not convenient. It would be nice if it remembered it's last size and position, or if if was dockable.
    Line wrapping could help too.

  10. Right-click to copy column headers

    I would love to be able to right-click on the column headers in a result set and "Copy Column Headers", say to a comma-delimited string. I found this super-useful back in my days using MySQL Query Browser especially when writing INSERT INTO code.

    There is the ‘Copy with Headers’ feature.

    Also, there is the ‘Generate Script As’ feature with the help of which you can generate the INSERT statement.

  14. Aditional Menu Option

    Hello
    I'm testing the free beta version of you and would like to congratulate you for the excellent product quality.
    Opportunity to suggest adding a feature that will certainly add more value to the product:
    - When you select an object in a SQL text (eg procedure) command, enable a new menu option to edit it. If a table, to list its structure. Thus, it avoids the need to access the Database Explorer and get the corresponding object.

    Such a feature is present in the Standard Edition of dbForge SQL Complete and is called ‘Go To Definition’. You can access it by pressing F12.

  16. Document Category

    Hello

    The new version is more stable.
    The quality of implementation is excellent.

    Congratulations.

    Just like to make a reservation:

    In Beta had a property in Connection tab: Document Category.
    No more this option?

    thank you

  17. Select all data in one column in results grid

    I would like to be able to select all column in results grid, like you can do with row. Click on column header now only toggles sorting mode or filter. I need this option often to copy data to another query, or excel. SSMS has this feature so I got used to it.

  19. Status-bar PER tab

    It is often quite hard to know that an update or insert statement, or DDL statement has actually happened. Data from a previous SELECT statement remains steadily there, and the only hint is to watch the right-hand corner and actually see this change from Ready to Executing to Ready - but if you miss that, even the Output window is not definitive. A status bar PER TAB - like Management Studio - including the last number of rows affected, the last execution duration IN THAT TAB, etc. would be immensely helpful.

  20. View extended properties of objects easily

    Like MS_Description property for example on Table, Column, etc. Would be very useful on hover of object in browser or TSQL editor
