  1. I'm unable to rename constraints in "Edit Table" mode (expect primary key constraint).
    In addition, in database explorer this is also not possible

  2. When we go to a new customer site for an install, we typically get connected to the network, open schema/data compare for a deployment and then add a new connection. The problem is when we go back to that site (or remote connect in), it can be tricky to find the connection for the customer.

    Can we have something in the connection manager to arrange the connections in alphabetical order so they are easier to find?

  3. Please add a space automatically after accepting an intellisense suggestion.

    For example after a table name, when typing "w", "WHERE" appears, when hitting tab it adds that word to the text area, yet I need to then manually add a space. Why not add it as part of the intellisense (as we're used with VS) so I can simply keep on typing seamlessly?

  4. It appears that I can't export the font and colors settings in Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors. This would be a great feature addition that would allow me to export my personal theme design and apply it again whenever I do an upgrade or install the software again.

  5. Would be great to be able to tag certain objects and associate to a folder. For example, if i was working on a project that touched 8 table, 10 stored procedure and 5 views, I would tag each of those objects and associate to a folder/project.. This is essentially a custom filter that would group all the objects I'm working on for a particular project. Makes it easy to manage

  6. Provide the ability to make card view width wider. As it stands now, any character fields more than 10 characters do not appear completely within the view which makes the view useless. The ability to drag the view wider or simly have a width setting in the general setting would solve the issue.

  7. It would be really handy to be able to rename tables when they are exported to Excel as anything past 31 characters and Excel will generate an error. The SQL server Data Import/Export tool has the ability to do this and comes in very handy.

  9. Create an automation component for the data pump functionality in dbForge whereby a user can set a source file containing data and then automatically have that data imported into a SQL table on a schedule or via a trigger.

  10. I want the ability to transpose the SQL result so you only view one record at a time and having the option to sort the column names or the values. And then adding buttons to iterate through the result set.

    And no, the card view does not serve this purpose.

  12. When data-comparing two databases, one should be able to change the database in "edit comparison" screen without all selections in the "mappings" screen be initialized. In more details: if one has to compare several databases to a master one (which usually have the same or almost the same structure), there could be a checkbox to "keep previous mappings when changing the database". So, if the previously compared tables are also identical in the newly selected databases, the selected tables and selected comparison keys/columns/filters should be preserved.

  13. This is a critical documentation feature for many folks using Visio. If we could choose to ignore nonkey columns in display, the database documentation would be be a great alternative to manually mapping in visio.

  15. Add a splitter, giving the ability to horizontally resize the "Recent Files" list in the start page. It would also be nice if the new size was "remembered" the next time Studio was reopened.

  16. When a datafield is edited in the data editor by pressing twice F2 the cursor is in the "Data Viewer and Editor". As soon the cursor is in the "Data Viewer and Editor" the mouse must be used to leave the editor or to apply the changes etc.. It should be possible to define hotkeys for at least "Apply Changes" and "Cancel Changes". After the changes has been applied or canceled the focus should go back to the origin field.

    The workflow is really bad if a lot of fields have to modified with the Data Viewer and Editor. Keys…

  17. I'm an advocate for your products, but there are certain functionalities in special products like SQL Sentry Plan Explorer, or text editors like Sublime Text 3 that are difficult to fully match.

    I would like an option to support "external tools" in your product so If I want to have an external tool open a sql plan directly in it, I would have some way to configure this. Additionally, the ability to open the current text file in another editor and reload changes as I switch between the two would be helpful.

    Ensuring some support for external tool access to…

  19. Impossible without "CHANGING CONNECTION" to setup a database diagram to USE a specific database. Unfortunately there is no way to "edit" the database name even in the drop down list, or to change the owner of the database diagram. This is a serious impediment to productivity.

  20. I am always using the Quick Navigation option in the search results to locate the found object in Object Explorer. Love it.

    It would be even better to also have the option to "Script Object as CREATE/ALTER (Ctrl+F12)" , because that is what I actually need to do 95% of the time. Going via Object Explorer just makes it a little slower.
