  1. Displaying calculations in the status bar

    I'm mooching this off of SqlRefactorStudio for SSMS, but since I'm really loving my dbForge Studio experience ... as T-SQL proficiency increases across my company, even our accountants are diving straight into SQL coding. They (and therefore I) have an inherent love of highlighting cells in Excel and seeing a number of common math done on the selected region such as SUM, MAX, MIN, and AVERAGE.

    SQL Refactor Studio (for SSMS) has this remarkable ability to highlight cells in the result set and display the math dynamically in the status bar. dbForge Studio in all its magnificence doesn't have this…

  2. Preserve brackets arround stored procedure and function names or any database item

    I need to keep brackets around stored procedure and function names, but dbForge keeps removing them.
    Original
    CRATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SprocNameSample] After saving my changes to
    the sproc:
    CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SprocNameSample

    This behavior goes against the convention established at my workplace.

    Please allow us to keep the brackets in place when we save changes to Stored Procedures and Functions.

  3. Add filter for Object Search

    Please add a filter to Object Search results like 'Display distinct names of objects only' (or similar),. That will help with searching objects (tables/views) that contain certain data, but not data itself. Say when I search for string 'rufhweirfi' in my a database, it returns me 4000+ rows from 58 tables, but I need only names of objects that contain such data. That would help with searching pairs master-detail in database that has no relationships for tables.

  4. history

    Please move the Clear button for Query History from the main UI screen to be in the Options menu. In context, it seems like it is going to clear the search filters rather than wiping out the entire query history. It does warn you - but the history is so useful and important. Clearing it out should be a harder, more explicit step than just clicking twice. Not that I've done that... Multiple times...

  5. Create internal repository for saved SQL Queries

    Instead of saving an .sql file in a path, create a managed store with the following features:

    • Title, description - use AI to generate a suggestion for both fields
    • Category and assiciated category management tool
    • Extract and save any variables and target DB used by the query (to be used when recalling)
    • Editing, deletion, importing and exporting of stored queries
    • Recall stored queries with intelligent search functionality
    • Dialog when recalling function that would prompt for confirmation or changes to target db, and variable values.
    • recent and most used sorting in File menu

  6. Detach stored SQL query from SQL connection

    At present, if I developed a SQL query, stored it and try to load it back into dbForge at a later date, dbForge 'remembers' the SQL connection it is associated with and tries to connect automatically. I want to be able to disable this behaviour via options - eg opening file does NOT try to be clever.

    EXTENDED RATIONALE

    In common usage, the feature is quite useful. Unfortunately, in some of the projects I am working with, I have to constantly switch between different environments (prod, pre-prod, demo, devops, etc) protected by external VPN. All environments are hosting the same…

  8. More options for sorting in List Members

    In previous versions, custom snippets were in the first positions. This is not the case in the current version.

    It would be nice to be able to choose in the settings what to sort the results by and the possibility to prioritize custom snippets to the first positions
