  1. There should be possible to rename a tab. This should override the SSMS Caption template. It should not override the filename if it is a file that is saved to disk.

  2. View object by schema. This would make the explorer more clear and easier to find objects if you've lots of tables and views split by schema

  3. Hi,
    It would be good to add a "modified date" filter to the defaults. Currently it is very hard to display only recently modified elements.

  4. llow to group/organize Functions or Stored Procedures within folders created by the user. This way, it is possible to group by functionality.
    Over time these kind of objects pile up and become increasely difficult to manage.

  5. Please add a filter to Object Search results like 'Display distinct names of objects only' (or similar),. That will help with searching objects (tables/views) that contain certain data, but not data itself. Say when I search for string 'rufhweirfi' in my a database, it returns me 4000+ rows from 58 tables, but I need only names of objects that contain such data. That would help with searching pairs master-detail in database that has no relationships for tables.

  6. Data Viewer is not working after a day of application activity

    Data Viewer stops displaying anything in a day after being started. You will need to restart the application so it starts working again.

  7. It would be great if the results pane a consistent height rather than resizing to the take up all available space not used by the query. Sometimes you'll run a query that to get an idea of the type of data in a table but mean to expand on the query. With the current set up you have to resize the results window to write a multi line query after running the initial one line query.

    Please note that you can redirect the query result to the Data window:

    1. Select ‘Tools → Options…’. The ‘Options’ window opens.
    2. Navigate to the ‘Environment → Documents → SQL documents’ section.
    3. Select ‘Redirect data to Data window if Data view is closed’.

  8. In Delphi if you use the Devart SQL server components, dbForge studio is launched automatically. There is a bug if you close Delphi, studio hangs and is no longer usable.

    Could you please let us know what version of dbForge Studio for SQL Server you are using?

  9. When using the "Truncate Table" feature on a table which has an active table lock, dbForge completely freezes up and ultimately crashes. The app should "gracefully wait" rather than crash.

    4. Unselect the ‘Delete application log after closing’ option. Click ‘OK’.
    5. Reproduce the issue and send us the *.log file with the latest date from the folder:

  13. It would be nice to have a tool which allows me to see all dependencies like a graph for a specific object. This helps me to identify all possible impacts; this would be a killer feature.

  17. I like to create visualizations of Data Warehouses using dbforge. In a Data Warehouse, foreign keys are typically not created physically.
    If I could create data base diagrams in dbforge, importing existing tables and creating virtual foreign keys it would be the perfect tool for DWH documentation.

  18. When entering parameter values on a stored procedure of the type of datetime or smalldatetime the datetime picker defaults to the current time, but might better default to midnight or allow the user to quickly change the time to midnight (such as a button click) as it is too laborious to change all of the times to midnight, which I'd guess may be the most common usage for stored procedure/function datetime/smalldatetime entries (dates without the time).

    1. The routed line that maps relationship of the table to the parent with a foreign key align the line drawn between them to the columns mapped, so that easy to visualize the exact FK column matching visually.

    2. That an additional display option allowed. Instead of just CONSTRAINTS alone, offer a Foreign Key option. This pane at the bottom wouldn't be the name of the foreign key, but instead the myid - references Accounts(Id) This would make the documentation easier to use.
