In the free application SQL-Developer (provided by Oracle), I tried searching around for this but couldn’t immediately find a solution. I find the opening of multiple SQL query result window/tabs mildly annoying. I’m sure there are very useful cases for this feature, but my question is:
Can we turn the multiple query result windows to just one (Toad style). If there’s a shortcut key for this, that would be super awesome.

So, it turns out this is a bug. If you look closely, you’ll notice that for each query run, your results tab is automatically being pinned, causing each new query run to need it’s own new tab to display the results.
The automatic pinning is only supposed to be enabled when you explicitly go into Tools->Preferences->Database->Worksheet->”Automatically Freeze Result Tabs”.
It is an identified bug, that Oracle fixed with SQL Developer 2.1.1.
Go to oracle.com and download the latest version and this should go away. It was definitely very annoying.
