Re: SSMS Query Editor... Vs Query Analyser



Keep venting.  I'm sure there are at least 100 more things you can find. 
But, keep in mind that there are also at least as many new things you 
couldn't do before that are better.  I think it's a much needed improvement 
over Enterprise Manager.  But, I also think it still needs a lot of work.
