  1. Relationship names on a DB diagram are not "comments". Need ability to show table descriptions independent of showing relationship names.

    When "show comments" is selected, both table descriptions and the names of relationship lines are displayed. The relationship names are not comments, and mostly clutter up an otherwise clear and concise diagram. Show comments should only show table "comments"; a separate button/option is needed to display relationship names for those who want to see them (I do not).

  2. Include SQL text in data export

    When exporting data to a spreadsheet, it would be nice if it would include the SQL that produced the data in a separate spreadsheet tab. Toad does this and it's a nice feature because if you produce data for someone and they later want the same data, you can just have them send you the spreadsheet so you can run the exact same query for them again.

  5. Support Multiple Cursors like visual studio or sublime text

    I can go into detail upon this being developed. Sublime Text (and to a lesser degree visual studio) support multiple cursor editing which is a tremendous boost in efficiency of coding. At this time Dbforge SQL Studio doesn't support this. Recommend adding this functionality.

  8. Enable SQL Studio to work on Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Analytics Platform System (APS)

    Please enable SQL Studio features to work on Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Analytics Platform (APS). Both APS and Azure SQL Data Warehouse have similar parallel DW architecture (MPP). Azure SQL Data Warehouse is the cloud version of on-prem APS appliance. We want a tool that can work with APS / Azure SQL Data Warehouse. Right now dbForge SQL Studio can connect to APS, but nothing works beyond that.

    Azure SQL Data Warehouse: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-data-warehouse/sql-data-warehouse-overview-what-is

    Microsoft Analytics Platform System (APS): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/analytics-platform-system

  10. Schema snapshot standalone utility

    Deliver with dbForge also small utility to make schema snapshot. Sometimes I need to get DB schema from customers and it would be nice to send them such utility. Them will create by this tool schema snapshot and send it to me. Then I could run schema compare in dbForge.

  12. Feature: Split Editor Window Horizontally

    Copy of Request from Oracle Features Page:
    dbForge Studio for SQL Server should provide users with the ability to split the editor window horizontally. This feature should be equivalent to that provided by tools such as Microsoft's Visual Studio. This feature will be specially helpful while working with large queries and result sets.

  15. Rename tabs individually

    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.

  16. Data compare / Copy selected records with foreign keys into another DB

    Please implement selective export of certain records and all related records in child tables (by foreign key).
    Doing whole data compare in our case is estimated at 7.5hrs, which is too long for practical use.
    This feature would be very useful in our reproduce/troubleshoot workflows, replacing whole DB backup/restore, which is roughly 150GB, times 2, to be moved over network.

  17. Additional Relation Notation for Database Diagram

    To show a 'many' relationship on the child side, a 'crow's foot' shape is used now. SSMS uses 1 and * (asterisk sign) to show one-to-many relation. So you can add similar notation to the Diagram Document Options. (Now there are two options available: IE and IDEF1X)

  19. Automatically Update Schema Cache when Editing Objects

    When changing database tables or code with dbForge, auto-complete won't adapt to the changes until the cache is manually refreshed.

    You can force a refresh using the Edit menu, Code Completion, then Refresh Local Cache. There's also a hotkey for this-- Control-Shift-R.

    That said, when dbForge is making a change to an object, it should automatically update its cache for that object without us having to manually refresh the full cache.

    This is also a suggestion for your MySQL product:

    Please note that you can use the ‘Automatically refresh suggestions cache every xxx minutes’ option available in the ‘General’ branch of the ‘Options’ window that can be opened by selecting ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu.

  20. Extensions, plagins, add-in

    Do you plan adding user extensions for the IDE (plagins) or some other mechanism to extend the functionality with external utilities?

    For example:

    1. Using the external xml (you could include the editor), add an ability to add menu items (main, popup menu for a database, object, in the editor) where an external program with parameters will run (on a modal window) upon a click: current connection string (with a password, asking the user's permission), current database, current object type, current object name, etc.

    A return code will tell what to do ( -1 - error, 0 -nothing to do, 1-update…
