Pinal – Have you come across a scenario where every time you open a “.sql” file it opens a new instance of SQL Management Studio? I am using Windows 7 with SQL Denali (2011). Do you know how to make it open in the same instance?

I think it has got to do with the file extension setting in registry.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Deepan S,

Great Post Pinal, thanks :)

let me just add a little note: if you type profiler90 on command prompt (or on the StartMenu->Run dialog) u’ll get a brand new SQL Server Profiler window :)
This is a tool that i really like about SQL Server. It helps a lot on debugging ASP.NET WebApps :)

I fail to see what is so impressiva about recognising file types by extension. It is one of the many CP/M features copied by microsoft when they originally produced MS/DOS. I think you would find file association with programs to be a common feature if you ventured outside your Windows only environment
