  1. When I have a create statement (without DROP) and the object exists - then SqlStudio should really give an error as SSMS! Currently no indication is made and object remains unchanged!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. When you open a file in SSMS you can see your favourites down the left hand side, which I use a great deal. dbForge does not show this, can it?

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. The MDI component used has always been problematic. For a time it would regularly crash, but this was eventually fixed. However, I can't help but to notice how sluggish it is when the monitor is greater than 1280x1024 or if you the tabs are split. Some kind of improvement in performance would be desirable.
