Thank you for your feedback. We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reason: 
1) for security reasons, we cannot give free access to the database. 
2) for performance and stability reasons, we need to be able to control the joins sent to the database

What we are doing instead in every release is to invest in making the Business Central data stack better and more performant.

Sincerely,

Enable specifying objects by name in properties like SourceTableView, CalcFormula, etc.

Thank you for this suggestion! We are shipping this in 2022 release wave 2. You can already now try it out in insider VSIX builds.

Instead of e.g., 
SourceTableView = where("Source Type" = const(18));

it will be possible to use the option name, i.e.,<br>
SourceTableView = where("Source Type" = const(Database::Customer));

Global event - OnOpenPage

We have a requirement to trigger some code any time ANY page is opened (related to some enhanced security functionality). Right now we have to subscribe to EVERY page's openpage event to run our code. It would be great if there was a global trigger that fired any time any page is opened. We co...

Thank you for this suggestion! We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we might consider it in the future.

However, a generic event is currently not on the roadmap due to performance impact of such a generic event, i.e., having to call subscriber code on every page open, regardless of whether subscriber is applicable to page or not (this will slow down page rendering, an area which is very sensitive to performance degradation and is causing customer concern). 

In addition, the problem with a global OnOpenPage is how to give access to the page being opened (related to https://github.com/Microsoft/AL/issues/1593)? There is currently not a generic page concept, so just adding the event will probably not solve anything. 

It would be great of you could provide some examples in comments on what you would like to use the event for (i.e., what business logic to run on all pages), as the solution to those scenarios that might be something different than a global event.

Best regards,
Business Central Team
