  1. Licensing

    Every time I update db Forge I end up in the situation where it asks me for my license. This is so annoying because I then end up in this loop where I have to find my license details, enter them in, get an error message because it is not happy with it, then contact you guys to get a new license. Why can't you just remember the license and not ask me for it again until it expires. I have a team of developers who ran the update this morning and are now unable to do any work until…

  2. Mouse wheel does not scroll the Database Explorer tree list

    I have a database server with many dozens of databases containing many hundreds of objects (tables, views, etc.) each. I use the mouse scroll wheel to scroll this list in MS SSMS and I would hope to be able to do this with dbForge Studio.

  4. Unable to fix bugs

    I have reported a few bugs over the past few months, and although you are good at responding and looking into this there seems to be a few bugs that you can't seem to get right.

    1. Upgrading. It is always painful. Links that you publish to download the upgrade don't work. There are always licencing/activation problems, etc. I upgraded yesterday as advised (having gone through the normal pain to find the right place to download), and everything seemed to work. Yet today I am asked to enter my activation key yet again. Why can't you just make the upgrade seamless?…

  6. Restore from source control

    Today I search a long time for an option to restore a database directly from source control. I think there is no way, correct? Please add this feature.

  10. bug on current sql studio.

    since the new version, quite often my sql queries execute fine, however the execution timer keeps ticking away and then the connection to the db breaks. The only way to get it back is reload the query or restart forge. very annoying.

  11. Better performance for large SQL documents

    For large documents, say 100,000 lines of insert statements, shut down all language classification, lexing, parsing, etc services during a Find and Replace operation so that one isn't waiting forever for the process to complete. In my experience I waiting forever and had to kill the process. Shut down the services, perform the operation, then turn them back on.

  12. Implement ALT Select

    You should be able to (when virtual space is enabled) hold ALT+Shift and using the up/down arrow keys, select in a vertical line. Allowing you to modify / add or remove characters on multiple lines simultaneously. Similar to how this works in notepad ++ / SSMS etc

  13. Full text index sync order

    When you sync the schema of a database that has a full text index in it and stored procedures that reference that index, you cannot sync the schema to an empty database in one step. You must do the tables and the index first, then the functions and procedures.

  14. Fix Refresh in 5.5.369

    Manual refresh appears to be broken in this version. This even includes doing an edit on a table and the script generated does not mirror the underlying table. Have repeatedly seen this.

  15. Return back Ctrl+Shift

    That combination is used to switch between Windows languages. In the latest update dbForge awaits pressing some additional key upon Ctrl+Shift. Because of this, the first letter is not printed after pressing Ctrl+Shift.

    Let combinations with Ctrl+Shift to work only when these keys are hold down.

  16. better copy to clipboard feature of CSV data

    when i view a query result, i see all the records selected. i need a quick way to select these records and import into excel. the current copy to csv to clipboard separates the data with a semicolon. when i paste this to xls, it puts each row into cell A. i have to save the file and then import to xls and change the field separator to a semi colon.

    thanks

  17. Ability to edit vertically selected text

    I am using dbForge Studio 2019 Express. I can select text vertically but I can not edit it. In other editors, when I edit text, all rows are updated.

    I suggest to copy this feature of Notepad ++ or SQL Server Management Studio.

  18. Change default encoding for saving script files

    Default file save encoding is UTF-8. Would be nice to be able to change the default to something else, e.g. Western European (Windows) -Codepage 1252 to make it easier to work with those scripts in other tools.

  19. Crash when pasting tab-separated data

    I have data in a text editor which is tab-separated. I copied one line from the text editor with 44 tab-separated integer values no higher than 788 to the clipboard. I then opened a table with 100 columns in edit mode, pressed insert to add a new row and pasted the copied line. The line looks fine at the moment (before sending crash report and restarting), i.e. the paste operation seams to work on the visual layer, but then the crash report showed up.

  20. copy column data as comma seperated string

    I often find myself copying a list of data from a column to be used in another where clause and manually adding the commas. It would be great I could copy a list of values from a column and paste the values separated with commas

    This can be performed by right-clicking the data grid and selecting ‘Copy Data As → CSV’ from the popup menu.
