  1. copy column data as comma seperated string

    I often find myself copying a list of data from a column to be used in another where clause and manually adding the commas. It would be great I could copy a list of values from a column and paste the values separated with commas

    This can be performed by right-clicking the data grid and selecting ‘Copy Data As → CSV’ from the popup menu.

  2. View extended properties of objects easily

    Like MS_Description property for example on Table, Column, etc. Would be very useful on hover of object in browser or TSQL editor

  3. Spread connection categories marking to single objects

    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.

  4. Change default encoding for saving script files

    Default file save encoding is UTF-8. Would be nice to be able to change the default to something else, e.g. Western European (Windows) -Codepage 1252 to make it easier to work with those scripts in other tools.

  5. better copy to clipboard feature of CSV data

    when i view a query result, i see all the records selected. i need a quick way to select these records and import into excel. the current copy to csv to clipboard separates the data with a semicolon. when i paste this to xls, it puts each row into cell A. i have to save the file and then import to xls and change the field separator to a semi colon.

    thanks

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. Implement ALT Select

    You should be able to (when virtual space is enabled) hold ALT+Shift and using the up/down arrow keys, select in a vertical line. Allowing you to modify / add or remove characters on multiple lines simultaneously. Similar to how this works in notepad ++ / SSMS etc

  11. Better performance for large SQL documents

    For large documents, say 100,000 lines of insert statements, shut down all language classification, lexing, parsing, etc services during a Find and Replace operation so that one isn't waiting forever for the process to complete. In my experience I waiting forever and had to kill the process. Shut down the services, perform the operation, then turn them back on.

  13. Restore from source control

    Today I search a long time for an option to restore a database directly from source control. I think there is no way, correct? Please add this feature.

  15. Licensing

    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. Allow connection to SQL Server running on Ubuntu

    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.
