Default size of results window SQL Server Management Studio or alternative


Any one who uses SQL Server 2008, or earlier variants, knows that when you run the commands in the window the results window pops up for the lower half of the screen. I do want to see my results but when only the first or top 10 results will do have the window is a waste. Is there a way I can change the default size of that window?

Also if this kind of functionality exists in VS 2008 or 2010 let me know and I'll abandon SQL Server Management Studio.


Solution

  • There's no way to change the default size of the results pane. You may want to try sending your results to a separate tab instead. You can adjust this setting for both Results to Grid and Results to Text.
