dbForge Data Generator for SQL Server v2025.2 release notes

What’s new

The 2025.2 update introduces new AI-driven features, extended support for modern cloud platforms, security enhancements, and multiple usability improvements across the tool. These changes are aimed at improving development workflows, strengthening security, and extending compatibility with modern SQL Server and cloud features.

Enhanced AI Assistant

We continue to refine the AI Assistant to make it a more reliable part of everyday development.

Error analysis in real time

Errors from the Error List window can now be sent directly to AI Chat to receive immediate explanations and suggested fixes.

Web search integration

An online search option has been added to extend responses beyond pre-trained data. The AI Assistant scans the web, including the Devart website, documentation portal, and blog, to provide more complete answers.

Streaming responses

AI Assistant responses are now displayed as they are generated, allowing you to review them without waiting for the full output.

Support for new servers and cloud platforms

As the expansion of cloud platforms continues to grow, we update our tools to keep pace.

Support for Microsoft Fabric

dbForge Data Generator for SQL Server now supports Microsoft Fabric, Microsoft’s cloud analytics platform that unifies data storage, processing, visualization, and analysis in a single environment.

UI/UX improvements

Tooltips for SQL document tabs

To improve user experience, we have added tooltips to the SQL document tab that display the connection and database names, document owner, full file path, and server version.

Control over new tab positioning

New options in Tools > Options > Environments > Tabs and Windows let you configure where new tabs are inserted: before or after the active tab, at the beginning, or at the end of the tab group.

New shortcuts

We have added keyboard shortcuts to simplify code editing and reduce manual operations.

Alt+Up / Alt+Down — Moves selected lines (or the current line if none are selected).

Ctrl+Shift+A — Selects the entire statement, including all related keywords, operators, and values.

Security and authentication enhancements

Improved security

Authentication with SQL Server through Entra ID has been enhanced to support more secure and flexible connection scenarios.

Strengthened encryption

Encryption capabilities have been improved to align with modern standards, ensuring stronger protection of sensitive data in transit and at rest.

Productivity improvements

Full support for OPENROWSET

dbForge Data Generator for SQL Server now supports the OPENROWSET function, allowing queries against external data sources directly in SQL code. Suggestions are provided to guide parameter input.
