  3. This would be a small quality of life improvement in the User Interface. When editing SQL, it would be handy to move the contents of the following line to the existing line.

    Example. Let's say the cursor is on line 8 and has an INNER JOIN table statement fragment on it. Line 9 has the ON part of the join condition. Pressing the keybind for "Join lines" would move up line 9 to the end of line 8 and move up all the following lines 10 through N to 9 through N.

    I do realize this can be automatically managed…

  4. When I am creating a query with the query builder and select a DateTime field in the WHERE clause (for example, a DateTime field so that the date is Between two dates), I have to manually enter the dates in for the between values. Clicking to dropdown next to the field, does not bring up a calendar to allow me to simply select a date. This would be a nice feature to have.

  5. When clicking on the filter icon in the data grid column (to enter a quick custom filter), the "Custom AutoFilter" dialog appears. I instinctly start to enter a value on my keyboard and realize that I need to manually click on the value textbox to set focus to that box to enter data. It would be great if when the "Custom AutoFilter" dialog opened, the value textbox already had focus to start typing right away.

  6. provide a search field in the Visible Columns box. so I can filter the list by entering a word such as "next" and all field names with the word "next" appear.

  7. In the "Data Viewer and Editor" when using the Hexadecimal view it would be nice if the selection/cursor was highlighted or marked on both sides in some way. That way a user could select some hex values or some text and see visually what it is in the other format.

  9. It would be great if dbForge remembered what tables were open when a connection is opened. When working on a big project where lots of tables are being worked on every day, I have to spend quite some time re-opening the tables every morning before I can get any work done.

    An alternative would be to have the ability to save the currently open windows for a connection into a 'workspace' file.

  10. When filtering for tables and views I can currently filter by Name, Owner, Schema, or Creation Date, which is really helpful but it would be nice if you could add "Row Count" so I could filter by tables that actually contain data. I work with a database where about half the tables are completely empty so it would be nice to only show tables that contain some data.

  13. Every now and then I use "Close all Windows", I would like to see an option where you can specify that the Startpage remains open all the time.

  14. I have several Master-Detail browser sessions that I use on a daily basis. When I reload them in the morning, it is necessary to SHIFT-click on the column headers in the Data view to set the sorting/sub-sorting. Is it possible to save the last known sort conditions for the tables involved in the design?

    There appears to be the beginnings of this feature in the Design panel. A person can highlight a column and press the 'Sort Ascending' or 'Sort Descending' buttons at the top of the tab window. When these are set, a little icon shows up indicating the…

  16. i would like a pane on the left under the database explorer that gives me one click access to a table/view that i designate as a favorite.
    this way i dont have to click on the connection database/click to expand tables/scroll to table/click table

    i could rightclick table at this point, click make favorite and then from that point on i simply do one click to open in main content area.

    thanks

  17. Copy values from data view as 'SQL values list' for easy copy/paste into T-SQL query. SSMSBoost has this feature and I use it extensively.

  18. When I execute a query, every single time I get a notification that reads 'Data is read-only'.

    This is extremely annoying. Sometimes the bubble/popup will cover a part of the results grid, which means I have to wait till it disappears before I can see the result clearly.

    Please add a feature to disable these popups.

  19. In "Data Comparison tool", when two tables are compared, the user may wish to create a script to update only one of the i.e. 5 fields that have changes. It would be nice if in the header of the results grid, a checkbox existed next to each field name (only in tab "Different Records") so that the resulting UPDATE statements of the selected lines would contain only the "checked" fields.

  20. It would be helpful to generate C# POCO sourcecode right inside dbForge Studio.

    Right click on table or view => Generate script as => C# POCO

    I use code first approach, but structure changes are made directly in the database.
    Of course I use VS if I have to create a complete new c# model from a database. But for single tables / views it would be a timesaver, to generatet the POCO C# sourcecode in dbForge and then copy-paste it to VS.
