  1. Object Explorer details (Data space used, index space used, row count...)

    In SQL Server Managment Studio there is an view: Object explorer details. Where I can see details for all tables in my database. And for example I can sort tables by row count. Similar view in DbForge has fixed columns: Schema, Principal, Partitioned, Create Date, Modify Date, filegroup, Change tracking, Lock_Escalation. But there is no possibility to add extra columns especially: Data space used, index space used, row count.

  3. Custom Right-Click Scripts

    Add the ability to create Custom Right-Click Scripts to perform on a given table from the Database Explorer window. Either under Truncate Table. Or as part of Generate Script As...

    I frequently need Select count(*) from xxxxx as well as a few others. It'd be great if I could add my own!

  4. Pewrmit override Alias name assignment during Query design when LONG table names prevent viewing of columns/fields in the columns window.

    From a SSMS Query window execute a statement like:
    CREATE TABLE #tempAllBin (ID Int);
    Then, in your query designed, browse to the TempDB and locate the new temp table. It will have a name like: "#tempAllBins________________________________________________________________________________________________________000000090BC2".
    Select this table name and drag it into the query designer window in your tool. - The length of the table name makes it impossible to view the column names in the column window, as well as a number of other complcations arising from the length of that table name. I see no way to assign a SHORTER ALIAS Name in your query designer…

  5. refresh button when restore database

    I need refresh button when restore database and browse folder, sometimes I forgot to extract the BAK files into folder.
    In current release, I have to cancel the wizard, extract backup files, and start over the restore wizard.
    If there is a REFRESH button in browse folder it make easier to restore, I just click the button and choose the backup file without start over the wizard.

    thanks

  6. use the repository name as the folder name in sql source control

    I have a standard folder on my laptop for source control files that gets backed up automatically. I've changed the default folder for source control in the settings but instead of using the repository name as the source folder, it's using a scrambled name.

    can you make the software use the repository name instead of the random name so I know which database I'm looking at when looking in my source control folder?

  7. Rows affected not be summed up

    When you do an insert and it fires a trigger, the rows affected returned is a lump sum. In SSMS, each row affected is a separate output. So for example, you would get the number of rows the 1st trigger caused and the the actual inserted rows in the prime table. Same applied to update and delete actions.

    In addition, in database explorer this is also not possible

  12. Sort the connections in schema/data compare by alphabetical order

    When we go to a new customer site for an install, we typically get connected to the network, open schema/data compare for a deployment and then add a new connection. The problem is when we go back to that site (or remote connect in), it can be tricky to find the connection for the customer.

    Can we have something in the connection manager to arrange the connections in alphabetical order so they are easier to find?

  13. Add Space When Accepting an Intellisense Suggestion

    Please add a space automatically after accepting an intellisense suggestion.

    For example after a table name, when typing "w", "WHERE" appears, when hitting tab it adds that word to the text area, yet I need to then manually add a space. Why not add it as part of the intellisense (as we're used with VS) so I can simply keep on typing seamlessly?

  14. Ability to export/save font colors and settings

    It appears that I can't export the font and colors settings in Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors. This would be a great feature addition that would allow me to export my personal theme design and apply it again whenever I do an upgrade or install the software again.

  18. Ability to Tag Database objects

    Would be great to be able to tag certain objects and associate to a folder. For example, if i was working on a project that touched 8 table, 10 stored procedure and 5 views, I would tag each of those objects and associate to a folder/project.. This is essentially a custom filter that would group all the objects I'm working on for a particular project. Makes it easy to manage

  19. car view width

    Provide the ability to make card view width wider. As it stands now, any character fields more than 10 characters do not appear completely within the view which makes the view useless. The ability to drag the view wider or simly have a width setting in the general setting would solve the issue.

  20. Allow the renaming of table names when exporting data to Excel. Currently if the sheet name is over 31 Characters Excel generates errors

    It would be really handy to be able to rename tables when they are exported to Excel as anything past 31 characters and Excel will generate an error. The SQL server Data Import/Export tool has the ability to do this and comes in very handy.
