Options (Text Editor/Editor Tab and Status Bar Page)

The Editor Tab and Status Bar Page lets you customize the presentation of the text editor. The editor tab and the status bar are not available in all types of editors.

The status bar appears at the bottom of the query editor. The query editor can connect to all of the servers in a server group, and execute queries on several connections at once. Keep the color of the group connection status bar set to a different color than the single server connection status bar as a reminder that the editor has multiple connections.

Use the include options to add or remove items from the title bars of the code editor windows.

To change the multiserver results options, use the Options (Query Results/SQL Server/Multi-Server) page.
