When I open up a script without a database connection Visual Studio puts this

  • 0

When I open up a script without a database connection Visual Studio puts this stupid message in the tab text of “Not Connected”

This suffix is stupid

It takes up half the space on a tab, often sacrificing meaningful parts of the name to display information I don’t care about. There’s a status bar that says disconnected, that’s all I need.

In Options > Database Tools > Transact-SQL Editor, under tab text there’s options to remove database name, login name and server name but none seem to remove this message.

Does anyone know how to remove it?

Thanks,

Chris.

    I think I have it!

    1. Right click on a sql file
    2. Choose open with
    3. Choose Source Code (Text) Editor
    4. Click “Set as default” then click OK

    Now this will also take away a lot of other features (like being able to execute the query) but I prefer to use Management Studio for running queries.
