dbForge Studio for SQL Server v2026.1 release notes

What’s new

This release brings enhancements to dbForge AI Assistant, Document Tabs, Text Editor, Code Completion, and Schema Compare. These updates are aimed at strengthening your productivity and enhancing development workflows.

AI Assistant

Database indexes for LLM

AI Assistant now uses database index metadata, including index types, such as clustered, nonclustered, composite, and unique, to generate more accurate answers.

Text Editor

Add or remove square brackets for identifiers

You can now automatically add or remove square brackets for identifiers in the SQL Editor. This helps save time and keep identifier formatting consistent. Use the main menu (Edit > Advanced > Add Brackets to All Identifiers or Remove Unnecessary Brackets) or the SQL Editor shortcut menu (Refactoring > Add Brackets to All Identifiers or Remove Unnecessary Brackets).

Document Tab

Pin document tabs

dbForge Studio for SQL Server now lets you pin document tabs. Pinned tabs stay visible, so you can keep frequently used tabs at hand and separate important tabs from temporary ones.

Restore tab order

When you reopen dbForge Studio after accidentally closing it, your document tabs are restored in the same order and layout as when you last closed the application. You can configure tab restore settings in Tools > Options > Environment > Documents > Restore.

Quick Info

Indexed column icons

The Quick Info tooltip now displays an icon next to indexed columns, so you can identify them at a glance without opening table properties.

Schema Compare

Discard Changes in Objects Filter

The Discard Changes option is now available on the Objects Filter toolbar. It lets you revert changes to the last saved, loaded, or default state.

Data Generator

Generation for unsupported data types

Data Generator now supports generating data for columns with unsupported data types. These columns are not selected by default, but you can include them manually when needed.
