  2. Automate data pump functionality

    Create an automation component for the data pump functionality in dbForge whereby a user can set a source file containing data and then automatically have that data imported into a SQL table on a schedule or via a trigger.

  3. Transpose SQL Result

    I want the ability to transpose the SQL result so you only view one record at a time and having the option to sort the column names or the values. And then adding buttons to iterate through the result set.

    And no, the card view does not serve this purpose.

  4. Schema compare does not work for many identical scripts / texts

    Schema compare is incorrectly marking scripts as "update" yet text wise they are completely identical (including control characters and white spaces)

  6. Create internal repository for saved SQL Queries

    Instead of saving an .sql file in a path, create a managed store with the following features:

    • Title, description - use AI to generate a suggestion for both fields
    • Category and assiciated category management tool
    • Extract and save any variables and target DB used by the query (to be used when recalling)
    • Editing, deletion, importing and exporting of stored queries
    • Recall stored queries with intelligent search functionality
    • Dialog when recalling function that would prompt for confirmation or changes to target db, and variable values.
    • recent and most used sorting in File menu

  7. Excel-Export without explicit formatting

    The Excel-export shouldn't necessarily put explicit formatting on the cells. That it does is annoying as it forces one to explicitly remove it again before the data can be formatted as a table with one of the Excel table format templates, for instance. Another example is that although number fields are actually marked as being number fields, they are still displayed as left aligned, because that's how they are explicitly (and wrongly) formatted.

  8. On the customer License Information page, add a user editable field where we can log who has which license.

    I purchase the licenses for my dev team, so when I purchase two licenses, one for myself (SQL Tools) and a separate on for one of my devs (Schema Compare) I would like to indicate which is assigned to whom. Currently on the License information page, both appear assigned to me. While two folks is easy, if we grow our usage of your products further, I would like to know who I've assigned which licenses to, while keeping them all under the one account.

    All I'm looking for is a field that I as the customer can note this type…

  9. history

    Please move the Clear button for Query History from the main UI screen to be in the Options menu. In context, it seems like it is going to clear the search filters rather than wiping out the entire query history. It does warn you - but the history is so useful and important. Clearing it out should be a harder, more explicit step than just clicking twice. Not that I've done that... Multiple times...

  10. Schema added to properties when not required

    Currently when I use Query designer the resulting query is expressed as:

    SELECT
  Hygiene360Log.Hygiene360LogId,
  Hygiene360Log.RequestDate
FROM dbo.Hygiene360Log

    Where what I want is the minimum length of text to correctly identify tables and objects, like this:

    SELECT
  Hygiene360LogId,
  RequestDate
FROM Hygiene360Log

    It's very annoying

  11. Data comparison in multiple databases

    When data-comparing two databases, one should be able to change the database in "edit comparison" screen without all selections in the "mappings" screen be initialized. In more details: if one has to compare several databases to a master one (which usually have the same or almost the same structure), there could be a checkbox to "keep previous mappings when changing the database". So, if the previously compared tables are also identical in the newly selected databases, the selected tables and selected comparison keys/columns/filters should be preserved.

  12. Database Diagrams only key columns

    This is a critical documentation feature for many folks using Visio. If we could choose to ignore nonkey columns in display, the database documentation would be be a great alternative to manually mapping in visio.

  14. resize recent files list

    Add a splitter, giving the ability to horizontally resize the "Recent Files" list in the start page. It would also be nice if the new size was "remembered" the next time Studio was reopened.

  15. Hotkey in Data Viewer and Editor

    When a datafield is edited in the data editor by pressing twice F2 the cursor is in the "Data Viewer and Editor". As soon the cursor is in the "Data Viewer and Editor" the mouse must be used to leave the editor or to apply the changes etc.. It should be possible to define hotkeys for at least "Apply Changes" and "Cancel Changes". After the changes has been applied or canceled the focus should go back to the origin field.

    The workflow is really bad if a lot of fields have to modified with the Data Viewer and Editor. Keys…

  17. External Tool Support

    I'm an advocate for your products, but there are certain functionalities in special products like SQL Sentry Plan Explorer, or text editors like Sublime Text 3 that are difficult to fully match.

    I would like an option to support "external tools" in your product so If I want to have an external tool open a sql plan directly in it, I would have some way to configure this. Additionally, the ability to open the current text file in another editor and reload changes as I switch between the two would be helpful.

    Ensuring some support for external tool access to…

  19. Change database for SQLServer of Database Diagram

    Impossible without "CHANGING CONNECTION" to setup a database diagram to USE a specific database. Unfortunately there is no way to "edit" the database name even in the drop down list, or to change the owner of the database diagram. This is a serious impediment to productivity.

  20. dbForge Search : Script Object as CREATE/ALTER from results

    I am always using the Quick Navigation option in the search results to locate the found object in Object Explorer. Love it.

    It would be even better to also have the option to "Script Object as CREATE/ALTER (Ctrl+F12)" , because that is what I actually need to do 95% of the time. Going via Object Explorer just makes it a little slower.
