  1. Generate a matrix showing tables vs. procs/functions that Create, Read, Update or Delete data in that table.

    Perhaps this could be achieved by expanding the detail available in the "Used By" section of each table.

    In version 6.0, the new command ‘Generate Script As → CRUD’ is available in the popup menu of a table in Database Explorer.

    This feature can be setup in the ‘Generate Scripts → CRUD’ section of the ‘Options window’ (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the popup menu).

  2. Frequently I have the need to comment or un-comment a section of my SQL code, e.g. a set of columns or a portion of a WHERE clause. It would be nice if I could select the block, right-mouse, and select comment/un-comment to place the "--" characters in front of the selected lines of code.

  3. View object by schema. This would make the explorer more clear and easier to find objects if you've lots of tables and views split by schema

  4. When OPENJSON along with WITH to list fields to pull from the JSON data the fields are not visible for code completion purposes. For example in the query below there is no code completion for B.* in the select list and the fields need to be entered manually.

    SELECT PD.ProductDimId AS ProductDim
    , [Date] = CAST(JSONVALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.trandate') AS DATE)
    , TONumber = JSON
    VALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.tranid')
    , TransactionInternalId = J.InternalId
    , [Status] = JSONVALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.status')
    , Line = B.line
    , B.Quantity
    , TOCurrentValueUSD = B.CurrentUSDValue
    , TOLandedCostPerItem = b.LandedCostPerUnit
    , FromLocation = CASE JSON
    VALUE(J.JSONData,'$.fields.location') WHEN 16 THEN 'In Transit/On Water' ELSE…

  5. The Generate Scripts function under Tasks is missing the option to include database triggers in the list of available objects to include in the output. Triggers are a fundamental component for replicating database schemas and should be included in the scripted output.

  6. Currently on the command line, the /sync option allows you to specify a file to write the sync script to, instead of executing immediately. When no file is specified, the sync is executed immediately. I would like a way to send the results of the sync operation to a log file of type .txt.

    I think it would be beneficial to have a couple of different logging levels:

    0 - verbose; each object start and stop time, warnings, and errors
    1 - warnings; only objects causing warnings or errors to occur
    2 - only errors

    Warnings should include the object…

  11. When joining, querying, or trying to expand table.* column names for a table in the tempdb database, Intellisense does not work even for tables that existed when starting dbForge.

    It would be nice to be able to have that feature even if it meant manually adding the table to the Intellisense cache.

  12. Currently, the screen is divided onto two horizontal parts where the top window contains objects and the bottom one has their text representation which is not quite convenient because there is a lot of spare place left not used.

    Visually, it would be much more convenient to have the ability to place the windows vertically rather than horizontally unlike the current implementation.

    For example, like in AdeptSQL Diff.

  13. During the 30 day trial, the application runs in enterprise mode. It would be ideal to have the option to change the edition that it runs as so that we can easily see what features we gain/lose with each edition. For example: My company is looking at standard edition. I have to keep going to the website to see if the feature I am currently playing with comes with that edition. It is making my evaluation much more difficult.

  14. Here is some table need to recreate and refill data after if. Recreation reason- identity increment has been changed.

    This script was generated:

    IF OBJECTID(N'dbo.EDDevicesSHADOW', 'U') IS NOT NULL
    AND OBJECT
    ID(N'dbo.tmpdevartEDDevicesSHADOW', 'U') IS NULL
    EXEC sprename N'dbo.EDDevicesSHADOW', N'tmpdevartEDDevices_SHADOW', 'OBJECT'

  16. When I filter the results grid in DBForge Studio for SQL Server, it's great to quickly get the results i need! However, there are times I'd like to see the SQL of the filter (i.e. what it is putting in the WHERE clause) so I can use it in my own SQL query. Currently I do not see a way to view or export that. This would be a nice feature to have!

  17. Currently in the differences in the table columns are highlighted with some sort of blue/green, while the column names and the DDL are also in the blue/green color space.

    It is hard to easily figure out what is the difference.

    It would be really helpful to be able to change the highlight to any chosen color - for myself I would choose yellow :)

  18. I see that you are using Developer Express Grids and controls but that you are using version 13 compared to the current version 19. Please update the grids and controls to the current version and allow users access to most of the features those grids provide.

  20. It is typical to write or extend a sql stmt on the top of a query window and to see the result in the bottom.
    dbForge has not that standard behaviour for this window. My Suggestion is to configure or save the last the window layout as it will be needed.
    I know there are two buttons in the bottom to click on to change this layout but when you work the whole day with this tool and you have click 200 times a day these both buttons it's getting bothersome and not a good user experience.
