  1. I have to generator a column based on another tables column value . Currently python generator can work with same table columns only. It will be great if we can access other table column also.

  3. Please implement. Support of simple shortcuts for work with lines (that not implemented as well) like in notepad++ or Visual Studio or MSSMS. I mean such shortcuts and features as : Ctrl+D - duplicate line, Ctrl+L - remove line, Ctrl+J - join lines etc.

  4. It is sometimes important to set triggers order when there are several triggers for a single table, UPDATE event, for example.

    There is a command which performs this:
    EXEC spsettriggerorder @triggername=N'[dbo].[tskTask_Validate]', @order=N'First', @stmttype=N'UPDATE'

    But I wish I had a visualized tool for this task and more control than a simple 'First' / 'Last' option.

    Thank you

  6. I have couple of websites and I manage the databases for my website using dbForge Studio by connecting to hosting SQL server. You know that web hostings has hundreds of databases on SQL instance so expanding the connection in database explorer takes time. I wish I was able to embed filters when creating a connection so it will show the selected databases only.

  8. In the "Find invalid objects", I really miss an option to "Select all". There's a "Clear all", but not a "Select all".

  9. I want to automatically change the Collation. If you just change the Collation in the database, then the new Collation applies only to new tables. And old tables need to be changed through a script. The views do not change either.

  10. In SSMS the number of rows affected by a tsql statement is printed to the Messages tab. In dbForge Studio only the number of rows returned to the application is sent to the Output->General window.
    The details in SSMS are extremely useful, especially for UPDATE and DELETE statements or other code that returns no data to the application (e.g. selecting rows into a new table).

  12. Most spreadsheets I get have unsupported characters in column headers - like slashes, line breaks and spaces. It would be great to have the import wizard allow a regex or other way to clean up the columns in a batch. e.g. "sales rep" could become "SalesRep", or "district / group" could become "DistrictGroup"

  13. The Excel file should be copied to a temp file to ignore file locks caused by the file being opened in Excel. The import should allow a refresh at the end of the wizard right before the import begins.

  17. The "Add related tables"-function (same as in SSMS) is very useful when creating a database diagram from an old database.

  19. Hi, we use a lot of json caluses in our db procedures e.g.:
    select
    *
    into
    #parcel_data
    from
    openjson(@parcelData, '$')
    with
    (
    "ParcelId" int '$.ParcelId',
    "ParcelTypeId" int '$.ParcelTypeId',
    "ShipmentId" int '$.ShipmentId',
    "BarCode" nvarchar(100) '$.BarCode'
    );
    Why don't You prepare such a helper in dbForge Studio ? It could be located on the level of "Generate script as" menu for each table for instance. To have the possibility to prepare our own plugins would be also a good idea.

  20. In SSMS, there is a feature called Registered servers, which allows for creation of groups of servers eg. Development, which contains sql server instances for all development servers.
    With this option, a user can execute the same script against all the servers in the group.
    This can be useful in a scenario such as if you need to execute a query against your database in each of your retail locations.
    I would like to see this feature implemented in dbForge Studio IDE.
