Hi there,

I'm new to PostgreSQL and trying out a trial of dbForge for PostgreSQL.

I have two questions:

1) Does dbForge have an option to restore sessions so that we can pick up where we left off when we close the app? I'd expect to find that in the start up options but there isn't a "restore" option.

2) How do you delete a table in dbForge? In other SQL tools there's the option to right-click > delete. With dbForge is the only option to write a script?

Thanks.

This can be setup in the 'Options' window (select 'Tools -> Options' from the main menu) Image

There is no such feature in dbForge. Though, we are planning to add it in one of the next product versions.

It looks like that will only restore specific file types? What I'm looking for is an option that will restore everything (connections, any tabs, etc.) so that I can start up my machine (after rebooting, or the next day, or whatever) and pick up exactly where left off when I shut down.

Does dbForge do that?

Connections get restored automatically.

Also, you can import/export the connection list and other settings with the 'Tools -> Import and Export Settings' feature available in the main menu.

Also, you may be interested that the connections are saved in the system registry:
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Devart -> dbForge Common Settings -> Connections -> PostgreSql'.
