Default Visual differentiation by environement in SQL Server ManagementStudio - 02-18-2009 , 04:08 AM






Dear All,

My client is requesting to have a visual differentiation of Prod / non
Prod environment in SQL Server Management Studio 2005 (SSMS) used by
Support and/or DEV teams. This, limit the risk of doing something in
Production, while someone might think he's or she's in DEV !

The idea is to have an image or letters in SSMS written in RED big
when it is production, and Green or other colored letters when it is
non production environment. Somewhere where it is visible header or
footer !

Is this achievable in SSMS 2005? or SSMS 2008?

Thanks
Stefan

Stefan,

It is possible in 2008, but only for connecting through the Registered
Servers:

You can also use the SSMS Tools add-in (which adds a bunch of other little
gems too):
