  1. When I choose the "Is any of" in the filter editor, I can easily add values via the + icon. However, I can't delete a value from the clause after it's added. Deleting the value still leaves the actual item, but with ''. I have to delete the entire filter with the X icon and completely re-do it. There should be an X icon to delete/remove the values from the Is Any Of statement or a right click delete. How to delete just one value? This would be a great enhancement!

  3. On Windows 10, when you tear off a query window and drop it on a secondary monitor, it will cover up the task bar on that monitor when the window is maximized. If you put it on the main monitor and the main app on the secondary, then both windows will maximize properly and not cover the task bar.

  5. I used to work with Apex SQL where there was test mode. This is a very simple, but convenient feature. There was a button "Test Mode" beside the "Execute Script" button. The button had two states - pressed and unpressed. Clicking the button added two rows. "BEGIN TRANSACTION" was added at the beginning of the script and "ROLLBACK TRANSACTION" was added at the end. When unpressing the button, the two rows disappeared.

  6. When auto-commit is turned off, your DML is always embedded in a transaction, without a commit or a rollback. Then, make it clear that there is an open transaction, and provide a commit and a rollback button. Many other tools provide this important feature

  7. When importing data, there needs to be a way to adjust the data type for multiple fields at the same time. I can select multiple fields and choose edit, but after adjusting to varchar(255), the data type only changes for one of the selected fields at a time. I have 134 fields to set the data type to varchar(255). I don't have time to set the data type for each field. Very frustrating and unproductive. I can't use this product until this feature is added.

  8. There are times that you may wish to perform two similar structure or data comparisons. It would be useful if when right-clicking on the tab of a data comparison window, in the context menu that appears, there was a "clone" option. This would generate a clone of the existing structure/data comparison window containing the exact same options of the original window. Then you would be able to just alter the few options you wish and perform the new comparison in the new window, without destroying the comparison that exists in the original window.

  9. When I reformat the document it doesn't put Aliases, Table Names or Column Names in [] even though I have that option on.

    Formatting should enforce the rules I have in place. I want Table Names, Column Names, Aliases all enclosed in [].

  10. When selecting objects to script, there are global checkboxes for Schema and Data. I'd like to see two columns in the tree-list of objects, where I can individually mark a table for just schema or just data, or both (default)

  11. After Script Object as Create / Alter (ctrl- F12) please name the new tabbed window with the scripted object's name instead of SqlQuery99.sql.

    And also please make this forum easier to search.

    I can't believe nobody asked for this feature before, but I couldn't find an existing item to upvote.

    I hate duplicate tickets just like anyone!

    To perform comparison, dbForge reads out data to the cache. It can’t sort the data, because, to display in the resulting grid, dbForge reads the data from the cache upon scrolling and doesn’t keep it in the grid in order to avoid out of
    memory errors.

  14. How do I enable comments display in the editing view?

  20. Within SQL Server Management Studio 2012, while debugging and stepping through a stored procedure source code many levels deep, one has access to the local variables pane. That pane shows variable name, value, and then type. That pane is so close to being helpful, yet it falls short by having the value and type in the wrong order.

    It would be great to be able to copy the whole local panel and paste that as source to an editor as DECLARE @<variable name> <type>=<value> for each of the local variables.

    That would greatly facilitate recreation of the cases that one…
