Does anyone know how to get the query on one side and the results on the other?
By default, the results are under the query script. I see how to use the vertical tab to get two scripts side by side, but the results are still stuck underneath. When I have just one script open, I don't see the vertical tab option.
On a laptop with small screen real estate, it would be really useful. Thanks.
I don't think side by side is available by default, but you can put them in a different tab and then move them side by side.
Tools > Options > Query Results > SQL Server > Results to Grid
Then check the Display results in a separate tab. You can also check Switch to results tab after the query executes which will probably help you, since it's what you'd want to see after the execution completes.
