I often have multiple databases open in SQL Server 2008. Often they are prod, dev, and dr. It is annoying because each window says something generic like SQLQuery1.sql… (sa(200))*. So I have to hover over the tab and make sure I am in the correct window.
Is there a way to color code each window, or in some way to make it instantly knowable which database or server I am in?

Yes, you can color-code connections in SQL 2008, by modified the properties of the registered server. There is a “Use Custom Color” option on the Connection Properties tab.
