dbForge Data Generator for MySQL v2026.2 delivers a more capable and productive experience for everyday database work. The release expands AI-assisted workflows, improves SQL coding capabilities and product usability, and ensures compatibility with the latest supported database versions.
AI Chat can now automatically use the active document as context, giving AI Assistant access to the code you are currently working with. When you switch to another document, the active document context is updated automatically. You can enable or disable this behavior in the settings or manage the active document context directly in the chat.
You can now manually attach open documents to AI Chat to provide additional context for a conversation. You can select one or more documents that are currently open in the tool. Attached documents remain part of the chat context until you remove them.
AI Assistant now lets you choose from available managed AI models and shows the active model directly in AI Chat. Usage is calculated according to the input and output rates of the selected model, allowing different models to consume the available usage allowance at different rates.
Users can now use AI Assistant without a paid subscription under the Express license, with a limited usage allowance. The profile settings display the current subscription tier and remaining usage, with an option to upgrade when the Express limit is reached.
AI Assistant now supports persistent instructions stored in a dbforge.md file. The file is automatically included as context, allowing you to define preferences, development rules, and project-specific guidelines that AI Assistant can follow across conversations. You can also ask AI Assistant to create or update these instructions directly from the chat.
Data Generator now lets you apply object and column name qualification to code that is already written. Previously, the qualification settings in Options > Text Editor > Code Completion > Advanced applied only while you typed. The new refactoring command uses the same settings and qualifies names in an entire SQL document or in a selected fragment of code.
dbForge Data Generator for MySQL can now expand wildcards (*) in SELECT statements into the corresponding column names in all supported contexts. You can apply wildcard expansion to an entire SQL document or a selected fragment of code.
The new version provides full support for MySQL 26.7 and MariaDB 13. You can now connect to these database versions and use them with the supported dbForge features and tools.
dbForge Data Generator for MySQL can now be activated by signing in to a Devart account. Data Generator automatically uses an available license associated with the account or generates a trial license if no licenses are available. Users with multiple active licenses can select the license they want to use for activation.
The Product Activation wizard has been redesigned to provide a clearer and more convenient activation workflow. The wizard now brings all activation methods together, including activation through a Devart account, an activation key, and an offline activation request. Users with multiple licenses can select the required license and free up an occupied seat directly from the license selection page. The offline activation workflow has also been simplified with clear step-by-step instructions for generating an activation request and loading the license file.
