Show Server on Tab query

Post by Ciupaz » Tue 23 Sep 2014 09:02

Hello all,
in the tab of SQL1.sql the tool does not show the server where the query
will be executed. Is there a way to show it?

Thanks a lot.

I would also like to see that.
That way you can see which tabs are connected to which servers.
Currently, I have to click on each of them to see where they "go".

Please note that we have implemented the new feature allowing to change a connection's color. You can perform this as follows:

1. Right-click a connection in Database Explorer and select 'Modify Connection...' from the popup menu. The 'Database Connection Properties' dialog opens.
2. In the 'Document Category' drop-down menu, select the appropriate item or add a new one by clicking the three dots button against the drop-down menu.

I'm aware of that, but this is used for category (development, test, production). I have tens of production servers on which I connect daily, and they are all colored in red and named SQL.sql, SQL1.sql, SQL2.sql... not very usefull.

It should be something like SSMS has (or at least give us the option):
SQL1.SERVERNAME.DATABASENAME.sql.

Ofc, in this case multiline tabs are mandatory. But without it also multiline tabs should be added :-P

I would very much like to add new ideas, because I have lot's of them, but I've used all my votes and ideas on suggestions page and I can't post any. So I'm pretty much helpless here.

Thanks for a good suggestion! We're developing the next version (5.0) of dbForge Studio for SQL Server, and it's not a problem to include the feature in it.
