  1. Ability to use external program to compare text between source control and database.

    It is currently possible to setup an external program to compare text when doing a schema comparison.

    It wold be nice if this option would extend to comparing source control to the database.

  4. Database explorer must be order by alphabetical

    When the database explorer has very connections (more than 70), is terrible find a connection name, with an order or 'textbox search' would be great.

    Please to consider!

    There should be an option to set tab color rules based on the database name, not only server/connection.

  8. Error when adding extended property in unicode

    When I add an extended property (eg. description) in unicode, the generated script does not have N prefix for unicode value. As a result, my added property value gets unreadable after save.

  10. XML exported or XML Viewer data saved pretty printed

    At this time the XML viewer displays XML data pretty printed, but as soon as it is saved to an XML file the pretty print is lost and it turns into one long line. I believe that exporting XML data has the same result. My workaround is to put all the XML data in the clipboard and have Notepad++ save it as XML file and it saves the pretty printing. This workaround is not desirable as it is extra steps that should not be needed.

    Please allow an option in the XML viewer (and exporting) to save/export XML data "pretty…

  11. Columns Header In Clipboard

    Hi,

    it would be great, if we could get the column names in the clipboard when we copy the results of a comparaison.

    Use case:
    Launch a comparaison, see what is Only in Source, Only in target
    Copy the results of the grid, paste in an excel file, you'll get the datas but no column name

  12. Cannot modify sql login associated with an active directory group

    Sql logins associated with an active directory group (windows authentification) are shown in data explorer's security/users node, but not listed in the security manager.
    Thus, if you double click on it in the explorer "object does not exits" pop up and the user cannot be edited.

  13. save column settings on multiple results queries

    Currently it appears column customization (sort order, filter, column width) is only preserved between executions for the first tab and only when it is the active tab then the queries are run. Would be nice if it was preserved for all tabs.

    In one query window:

    SELECT Data= 1 UNION SELECT 2 UNION SELECT 3;

    SELECT Data= 'A' UNION SELECT 'B' UNION SELECT 'C';

    Run the query and the results are put on to results at tabs. If you change sort orders for the second tab and re-run the sort order is lost. If you change the sort order of…

  15. Improve keyboard support

    I click "New Data Comparison" (or "New Schema Comparison"), then ALT-W to open the "Database Connection Properties" dialog, then TAB to get into the "Server" input box. Once there, I type a part of the name of the server and the list of available servers works nicely!

    It seems that I must use down DOWN ARROW to select the server from the list and press ENTER before I can get out.

    However, if I type the entire server name, I can't get out of that box! Pressing TAB or ENTER does nothing.

  16. Save comparison without running it

    After running a data comparison, I want to edit the comparison and make some changes, then save the comparison... without having to re-run it first. This means being able to click "Save" while the "New Data Comparison" dialog is open before clicking "Compare".

  18. Ability to edit vertically selected text

    I am using dbForge Studio 2019 Express. I can select text vertically but I can not edit it. In other editors, when I edit text, all rows are updated.

    I suggest to copy this feature of Notepad ++ or SQL Server Management Studio.

  19. External datasource wizard for Azure

    Azure doesn't support linked servers. It has an external data source feature instead. SSMS allows creation of a template. It would be great if dbForge Studio supported the same but with a wizard that would allow connection of an excel spreadsheet OR another Azure database on the same Azure elastic server.

    A new preference to indicate whether the New Sql tab should to the furthermost right or left. Sometimes when you're working things out, you want to see the tabs in the progression of when you built in or just to know that the latest work is way to the right or left
