In query analyzer when I performed a results to text query, within the
results pane on the status line on the bottom, the line number and character
position of the cursor placement was presented when going thru the results.

Is that available in SSMS for 2008 and if so, how do I configure?

thanks

Hi Frosty,
Welcome to Microsoft MSDN Managed Newsgroup Services. My name is Charles
Wang. It is my pleasure to work with you on this post.

Regarding your question, Is the function of showing the line number and
character position of the cursor placement also available in SSMS 2008? The
answer is definitely Yes.

But the difference is that in SQL Server 2008, you can see them also on the
bottom status bar. Per my observation, it is by default. After you install
the client tools, open SSMS and you will find that. Besides, both SQL
Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio display a third value,
that is character position.

Hope this answer your question. Please feel free to let me know if you have
any other questions or concerns. I will do my best to help.


Best regards,
Charles Wang
