Options (Database Tools/T-SQL Editor/Query Results/General Page)

  • Article

Use this page to specify how results are handled when you execute a query. If you change these options, they will apply only to new instances of the Transact-SQL (T-SQL) editor. Existing instances will retain the global settings that were in effect when the instance of the editor was created.

  • Default destination for results
    You can specify whether the query results should appear by default in the grid, as text, or to a file. Results appear in the grid by default.
  • Default location for saving query files
    You can specify the default location where files will be created when you save the results of a query or when you save grid results to a .csv file. Files are created in your "My Documents" folder by default.
  • Play the Windows default beep when a query batch completes
    If you select this check box, the Windows beep plays when a script finishes executing. No beep plays by default.
  • Use Defaults
    You can click this button to reset these options to their default states.
