Change selected instance in SSMS
In SSMS, each tab is related to an instance and a DB.
There's a top left drop down where we can change the selected DB for current tab. But, if SSMS is connected to multiple instances, I don't see a way to change the selected instance of a tab. I need to copy the text, close the tab, select the correct instance, open a new tab, and past the text back.
Is there a smarter way to do this change?
You can change this by right clicking. Choose Connection > Change Connection from the context menu.
It's possible to add this button to the menu bar (but in SSMS 2016 I can't get it to work). In other versions click the down arrow at the end of the menu bar. From Add or Remove Buttons you can customise the available options.
You can also customise the colour of the status line, based on which server you are connected to. Handy if you often jump between servers and then get confused! ;P
