Many times when I am writing query I have to scroll the result displayed in the result set. Most of the developer uses the mouse to switch between and Query Pane and Result Pane. There are few developers who are crazy about the Keyboard SQL shortcut.

Recently at one of the conferences I was attending in, a small accident happened – one of the speaker’s hard drives failed. The owner immediately panicked due to this and had no clue what to do. I suggested that he may not be able to show the demos, but can still show a few things with the product. He accepted my suggestion and finished the presentation. Good thing everybody looked satisfied. Little did I know that a small accident was waiting for me later that day.

Excellent little tip Pinal.
i want select date without time.
select NextDate from table;
result:
2008-12-16 00:00:00:000
i want remove 00:00:00:000 this from my result…..
Try this
isnull(replace(convert(varchar(12),TCDate,106),’ ‘,’/’),0) as Date
Thanks @Vijay for helping here.
@Ashish
you have to use convert function and then se convert styles.
select convert( varchar(10), NextDate , 126) from table
go
select convert( varchar(10), NextDate , 21) from table
go
select convert( varchar(10), NextDate , 121) from table

Nice Tip.. Another observation. If you want to go back to the previous tab user Shift + F6

CTRL+R is another keyboard shortcut you can use to switch between query & result tabs.
Its not doing switch but just show/hide result pan, thats why we can’t see both at same time
Thanks Pinal
It was useful as the other articles
I have three pane opened (query,result & message).
In this case cursor navigating in circular scenario, here if you want to avoid message pane you can use Shift+F6 go back query pane from result pane
Excellent .. You saved us from wasting any more of our time and energy. Thanks buddy..
what about if I want to change F6 for Ctrl+Q? Just to gain microseconds you know
