  1. When I choose the "Is any of" in the filter editor, I can easily add values via the + icon. However, I can't delete a value from the clause after it's added. Deleting the value still leaves the actual item, but with ''. I have to delete the entire filter with the X icon and completely re-do it. There should be an X icon to delete/remove the values from the Is Any Of statement or a right click delete. How to delete just one value? This would be a great enhancement!

  3. On Windows 10, when you tear off a query window and drop it on a secondary monitor, it will cover up the task bar on that monitor when the window is maximized. If you put it on the main monitor and the main app on the secondary, then both windows will maximize properly and not cover the task bar.

  5. I used to work with Apex SQL where there was test mode. This is a very simple, but convenient feature. There was a button "Test Mode" beside the "Execute Script" button. The button had two states - pressed and unpressed. Clicking the button added two rows. "BEGIN TRANSACTION" was added at the beginning of the script and "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION" was added at the end. When unpressing the button, the two rows disappeared.

  6. When auto-commit is turned off, your DML is always embedded in a transaction, without a commit or a rollback. Then, make it clear that there is an open transaction, and provide a commit and a rollback button. Many other tools provide this important feature

  7. When importing data, there needs to be a way to adjust the data type for multiple fields at the same time. I can select multiple fields and choose edit, but after adjusting to varchar(255), the data type only changes for one of the selected fields at a time. I have 134 fields to set the data type to varchar(255). I don't have time to set the data type for each field. Very frustrating and unproductive. I can't use this product until this feature is added.

  8. There are times that you may wish to perform two similar structure or data comparisons. It would be useful if when right-clicking on the tab of a data comparison window, in the context menu that appears, there was a "clone" option. This would generate a clone of the existing structure/data comparison window containing the exact same options of the original window. Then you would be able to just alter the few options you wish and perform the new comparison in the new window, without destroying the comparison that exists in the original window.

  9. When selecting objects to script, there are global checkboxes for Schema and Data. I'd like to see two columns in the tree-list of objects, where I can individually mark a table for just schema or just data, or both (default)

  10. After Script Object as Create / Alter (ctrl- F12) please name the new tabbed window with the scripted object's name instead of SqlQuery99.sql.

    And also please make this forum easier to search.

    I can't believe nobody asked for this feature before, but I couldn't find an existing item to upvote.

    I hate duplicate tickets just like anyone!

  11. In data comparison window, you can filter a table (WHERE) but you cannot sort the data shown on the resulting grid after the data comparison (ORDER BY).

    To perform comparison, dbForge reads out data to the cache. It can’t sort the data, because, to display in the resulting grid, dbForge reads the data from the cache upon scrolling and doesn’t keep it in the grid in order to avoid out of
    memory errors.

  12. in the drop down for the Database Connections that list the connections to sql server and databases, please give an option for search ALL. we use 4 sql servers with views that point back to other servers. (Linked Servers)

    thx

  15. For source control (GIT) at the remote changes tab add a ignore/delete option.

    I started working with the database and deleted/renamed some stored procedures. When I detached and attached my source control (GIT) it wants to add the procedures which I have removed.
    This is fine when someone else changed it, but now I specifically want to delete this procedures. When working with this I can add them again, to delete them afterwards, or I can delete them in the folder and check them in with GIT, bypassing dbForge.

    The easy solution would be to add a ignore/delete/keep local option…

  17. At present, if I developed a SQL query, stored it and try to load it back into dbForge at a later date, dbForge 'remembers' the SQL connection it is associated with and tries to connect automatically. I want to be able to disable this behaviour via options - eg opening file does NOT try to be clever.

    EXTENDED RATIONALE

    In common usage, the feature is quite useful. Unfortunately, in some of the projects I am working with, I have to constantly switch between different environments (prod, pre-prod, demo, devops, etc) protected by external VPN. All environments are hosting the same…

  18. In previous versions, custom snippets were in the first positions. This is not the case in the current version.

    It would be nice to be able to choose in the settings what to sort the results by and the possibility to prioritize custom snippets to the first positions

  19. When designing fairly complex queries that would result in the altering of several (potentially hundreds) of rows of data it would be nice to be able to see a 'preview' of what the results of running it might be. This would help greatly in refining the query as it is being written so that it really does end up producing the desired results.

  20. The way that Sublime Text 2 manages key bindings is far superior to the Visual Studio way which dbForge Studio currently implements. Specifically, I would like to be able to edit a text file that describes how keys ought to be bound.

    Personally, I prefer emacs-style key bindings, but not everyone does and my keyboard doesn't have the home/end/pgup/pgdown buttons because I use a MacBook Pro.

    dbForge Studio doesn't appear to support bindings for moving to the end or beginning of a line, so I'm stuck without an ability to remap these keys.
