  1. Redesign stored routine editor

    Suggestion to redesign the visual stored procedure editor of dbForge.

    Uh... there are a number of major misses here in 4.0.

    I login to a database, expand the Programmability section, then right-click a procedure and select 'Edit Procedure.' The script that is generated is a CREATE PROCEDURE method, which out of the box won't work because the procedure already exists.

    Okay, so I change it to ALTER PROCEDURE and press F5 to rebuild the procedure. I get a dialog box prompting me for parameters! Oh, I guess F5 means RUN the procedure? No, that's not what I want. It looks…

  2. Import data - enable BACK button

    If import data failed (eg duplicity in key, cannot save importlog to C:\ etc), then BACK button is disabled. Therefore after fixing the problem, we have to start import wizard from scratch
    It would be perfect simply click BACK button and try again

    If data import failed, you can leave the wizard open, fix the problem and click ‘Import More’ on the last page of the wizard. All import settings will be restored.

  4. Display records quantity and add ability to skip current table during export

    When selecting a data source, it would be nice to see the quantity of the records in the table.

    Also, when performing export, add the ability to skip the current table.

    ;

    SELECT * FROM #Table1;

    INSERT INTO #Table1 (c1,c2) VALUES (1, SYSUTCDATETIME ());

    This can be setup as follows:

    1. Select ‘Tools → Options’ from the main menu. The ‘Options’ window opens.
    2. Navigate to the ‘Data Editor → Formatting’ branch.
    3. Select ‘DateTime’ from the ‘Data type’ dropdown menu.
    4. In the ‘Predefined Formats’ list, select ‘General date/time (longtime with microseconds)’.
    5. Click ‘OK’.

  7. Refresh option in Data Import wizard

    When I use the import wizard it would be handy to have a refresh option. If I'm partway through the wizard and decide I'd like to create a table manually, I can't then specify that table to import to without closing the wizard, force a refresh and start all over again

  10. password change on expiry

    My dba set a security policy to reset the users sql password once a month.
    When i log in using MS-SSMS, when the change password is due, the application tells me that the password is expired already and then offers me to change my sql password immediately.
    DbForge just tells me that i cannot use my old password.
    Can you add this change password on expiry feature please?

    Now, the updated view editor contains the text of the view as well as the visual representation of the query on the diagram.

  11. Autosize

    Last beta version does not autosize the result set (regression). You have to retrieve multiple times to get the results aligned properly.

  15. Invalid error line for "Display Estimated Execution Plan"

    use this script for test:
    DECLARE @FILENAME AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @FILE    NAMEPRE AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @FILE    NAMESUF AS NVARCHAR(500),
    @SQL    STMT AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

        SET @SQL_STMT = 
'SELECT 
        t1.*,
        CASE WHEN c1 IS NULL
             THEN ''Y''
             ELSE ''N''
        END AS [COLUMN1],
        t2.c3
   FROM t1
   LEFT JOIN (SELECT *
                FROM (VALUES
(''v1'',''v1'',''v1''),
(''v2','v2','v2''),
(''v3'',''v3'',''v3'')) RET (c1, c2, c3)) t2 ON t1.c1 = t2.c2 '

    if you press "Display Estimated Execution Plan", then the first line will be highlighted with an error: Incorrect syntax near ','.
    But if you press "Execute" then correct one will be highlighted

  17. F3 button not working properly

    Normally, if I do an incremental search (CTRL+I) or a normal search (CTRL+F), pressing F3 takes you to the next location of your search text in the current file. With DBForge it seems to jump all over the place. The only place it doesn't take you to is the next location in the current file, which basically makes it impossible to use.

    This can be achieved as follows:

    1. Select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu. The ‘Options’ window opens.
    2. Navigate to the ‘Environment → Keyboard’ branch.
    3. Type ‘Sql.ExecuteCurrent’ in the ‘Show Commands Containing’ field.
    4. Select the found ‘Sql.ExecuteCurrent’ command in the list below.
    5. In the ‘Use new shortcut in’ field, select ‘Text Editor’.
    6. Set the focus in the ‘Press shortcut keys’ field and press the required key combination.
    7. Click the ‘Assign’ button.
    8. Click ‘OK’.

  19. Autocomplete doesn't work if table belongs to schema and no alias or schema name used in join.

    Example:
    select *
    from Schema1.Table1 join Schema1.Table2 on Table1.[AutoComplete doesn't show table fields]

    select *
    from Schema1.Table1 T1 join Schema1.Table2 T2 on T1. [AutoComplete works properly]
