  3. The visualstudio.com online version of TFS will not authenticate with Source Control. I have tried alternate credentials and using the tool from http://nakedalm.com/tools/vso-service-credential-viewer/.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. I was able to connect to SQL Server running on Ubuntu with SQL Server Management Studio. Be nice to do it with dbForge. Got the error message that the version of SQL Server wasn't supported when I tried.

  9. 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.

  11. 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…

  14. Every time I update db Forge I end up in the situation where it asks me for my license. This is so annoying because I then end up in this loop where I have to find my license details, enter them in, get an error message because it is not happy with it, then contact you guys to get a new license. Why can't you just remember the license and not ask me for it again until it expires. I have a team of developers who ran the update this morning and are now unable to do any work until…

  16. 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.

  17. Extend the connection categories marking feature so the objects (tables, views, procedures, etc) belonging to the connection also have the same marking as the corresponding connection.

  18. 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

  20. In Database Explorer it should be possible to see the data type and NULL/NOT NULL settings of fields like in SSMS.
