  1. Change export "options" for export to Excel/HTML etc.

    Hi,

    I would like to suggest a new feature which will allow changing default export "options" for all exports to Excel/HTML format? I'm thinking about fonts, colors, alternating row colors etc.

    I don't like default coloring so I would like to change it for all exports I do from dbForge Studio. Now I have to change them every time, and it's tricky because I have to manually copy complex colors to dialog, select fonts.

    I was thinking that "Save template" would help me with this, but this saves whole data source too so I always get same data exported when…

  6. Virtual Relationships Between Databases On Database Diagram

    On the database diagram, add ability to create virtual relationships between tables in different databases. This would help in documenting the implied relationships between databases.

    AdminDevart (_, Devart) responded

    In version 6.0, the feature Execution Notification is added. It’s managed by the ‘Environment → Documents → Notifications’ section of the ‘Options’ window (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu).

    Will that be enough or should there also be an option to choose a file to play?

  8. Add option to hide schema as part of the table name in database diagrams.

    Add option to hide schema as part of the table name in database diagrams. Since the new version 5.4 table name in database diagram show "SchemaName.TableName". Sometimes long table name get cropped so we have to extend the table's box to see the table name. Diagram need to be larger now... not good...
    I'll go back to an older version for the time being.

  9. Multiline tabs

    Please add multiline tabs. I often have many tabs and it's much easier to navigate between them visually (i know where is each of them) then with dropdown or arrows.

    Also, please add more descriptive names in document tab names, something like SQL1.SERVERNAME.DATABASE, or options with parameters so that everyone can name tabs based on connection. Now everything is SQL1, SQL2, SQL3 regardles on which database I'm connected to (and I'm usually connected to more that one database). Coloring helps me to distinguish between development and production database, but it's not easy do distinguish between two or more production databases…

  10. cyclic automatic query refresh

    A cyclic automatic query refresh should be possible. I'm a developer and like from time to time to observe my data. An idea is to have some buttons to <refresh every second>, <refresh every five seconds> and <refresh every 30 seconds>.

  11. Export Data multiple queries to single excel, pdf, html tables...

    When you do multiple queries in a single SQL editor window, the results are tabbed down in the DATA window.
    If you whant to export all of them to a single file (ex: excel2007), you have to export every single of them.

    And also if you add the requested feature of exporting the executed SQL sentence would be ÜBER! :)

  13. Shortcut Ctrl +Alt+o conflict with windows Alt+o - local alphabet letter

    Shortcut Ctrl +Alt+o is in conflict with windows Alt+o . So you can't get the Polish letter 'ó' what is annoying when try to comment your code in Polish not only because the letter, but especially because jumping out of your current context. Suggestion: option for you own definition of the short cut.

  14. SSH Tunnel Function/Advanced Security Options for MS SQL Server

    I've noticed that the dbForge MySQL Studio database connection properties includes "Use Security Protocols" and includes options for SSL/SSH connections, as well as public key authentication, whereas dbForge MSSQL Server Studio does not include such a feature... Would be very helpful.

  15. Add option to specify display format for numeric values

    Many large numbers are hard to read, and only Date / DateTime formats can be specified. I'd like to add thousand separators (either komma or dot) at least

  16. Locate in database explorer

    In SQL Complete the F12 (Go to definition) expands the item in database explorer. In dbForge Studio this opens table in new window.

    I would like similar option in text editor context menu, for example Locate in Database Explorer, which will expand to the wanted node, whether it is table, column, procedure, view etc.

  17. Allow :param bind variables like we use in our Code

    In my development, I use :variable for paramters. I come from the Oracle world. This @ thing causes me 2 issues. First, it stops my query from working with copy/paste once I debug it. Second, when I copy a query from the web, or my app, and try to paste it in, I have to edit it.

    It would be nice if EITHER:
    1) The : worked as a bind variable (even if I had to turn on a flag)
    2) The : REPLACED The @ if that makes it easier for you to do...

  18. Generate CREATE script for filtered objects (e.g. Procedures)

    Filter Objects in databse explorer and then select contecxt menu item to generate the CREATE script.
    This would be much faster and easier to handle than the newly integrated Generate Script Wizard.

  19. Auto-refresh before editing a view or table

    When right-clicking a view or table, please have SQL Studio do a background "refresh" of the view or table before opening the edit window so the user can be assured of getting the current code or view. If I don't remember to hit F5 or 'refresh' I get old, cached data which can be very confusing and frustrating.

  20. Query Builder Union Support

    hi guys

    a simple UNION like

    SELECT TOP 10 contactnumber FROM contacts c JOIN addresses a ON c.addressnumber = a.addressnumber
    UNION
    SELECT TOP 10 contact    number FROM contacts c JOIN addresses a ON c.addressnumber = a.addressnumber

    will create an error "1 Not unique table/alias: 'c' Query.sql".

    It would be nice to see the querybuilder processing these kind of sql's.

    kind regards
    peter
