Devart, a leading developer of database management software, is releasing dbForge 2026.2, the latest update to its unified ecosystem of professional database tools—adding abrand-new embedded PostgreSQL Debuggerand visual object editors todbForgeStudio for PostgreSQL.
According to the company, dbForge AI Assistantgains broader context awareness through file attachments,supportsmodels fromAnthropic and OpenAI, and is now available in a free Express edition.
The release also brings SQL refactoring enhancements, quicker access to test data generation, anew“Last modified” column in schema comparison documents and reports, and support for MySQL 26.7 and MariaDB13.x.
dbForgeStudio for PostgreSQLnow includes a PostgreSQL Debuggerthat lets developers set breakpoints, step through code line by line,and monitor variables,expressions,and query results as code runs. When an exception occurs, the Debugger highlights the exact line that caused it. The Debugger is integrated intodbForgeStudio for PostgreSQL and requires no separate extensions or manual setup, the company said.
The release also introduces visual editors for PostgreSQL event triggers,functionsand procedures, so teams can create andmodifythese objects without writing SQL manually.
“Finding a problem in PostgreSQL code shouldn’t mean reading through it line by line and guessing,” said Oleksii Honcharov, head of engineering atDevart. “Developers should be able to pause execution, watch the data change and see the exact line where something breaks, without installing extensions or configuring anything first. Functions,proceduresand event triggers deserve the same treatment: teams should be able to build them visually, not only in raw code.dbForge2026.2 puts all of that insidedbForgeStudio for PostgreSQL.”
dbForge2026.2 expands the context available todbForgeAI Assistant, enablingusers to attach the active SQL document, scripts, application code, database projects, diagrams,or custom instructions instead of pasting code into prompts.Teams can supply sample code,so the Assistant generates SQL that follows their coding standards, attach several databases to one chat,or ask the Assistant to compare two scripted databases, said the vendor.
Users can also choose the model behinddbForgeAI Assistant: Claude Haiku 4.5, Claude Sonnet4.6or Claude Sonnet 5 from Anthropic, or GPT-5.4 from OpenAI.
Developers can now bring AIassistanceinto their SQLdevelopmentwithout a paid plan.
New refactoring commands indbForgeSQL Complete anddbForgeStudio for SQL Server, MySQL,and Oracle apply object and column name qualification and expand wildcards intheexisting SQL code. Users can also launch test data generation directly from Database Explorer, said the company.
Schema comparison documents and reports indbForgetools for SQL Server and Oracle now include anew“Last modified” column. AlldbForgetools for MySQL now support MySQL 26.7 and MariaDB 13.x.
dbForge2026.2is available now.
