Mini Post: Setting Line Numbers In the Query Window

1st Mini Post!!!

I think I’m gonna do these every now and again, in addition to the weekly posts. Stuff that’s a little too small to be a normal post, but stuff that’s still useful.

Alrighty, let’s set line numbers shall we? Honestly I don’t know why a) it’s not on as default or b) it’s so roundabout to set up a simple thing but hey, that’s just me.

Setting Line Numbers

Open Management Studio.

Go to “Tools” and choose “Options”

Expand “All Languages” and choose “General”. Under “Display” select “Line Numbers”.

And there ya go. :-)

Now stuff should be alittle easier to find.
