Client side command to rename tabs

I'm thinking something like this would be very useful in scripts: bq. @RENAMETAB next="Customers" \\ select top 100 * from customers -- Tab heading gets renamed to "Customers" \\ select top 100 * from orders -- Tab heading stays as default \\ \\ @RENAMETAB all="Addresses" \\ select top 100 * from delivery_addresses -- Tab heading gets renamed to "Addresses" \\ select top 100 * from billing_addresses -- Tab heading stays renamed as "Addresses" \\ \\ @RENAMETAB -- Empty command resets all tab headings back to defaults Hope that makes sense.

Hi Roger, Thanks, I'd hoped to apply this technique to my existing scripts and it is almost perfect except that I'm running multi-statement SQL Server scripts that refer to variables (and table variables). This means I must execute the statement as a single query batch otherwise the variables are no longer in scope. As a simplified example, this fails with the error "Must declare the scalar variable @myvar": declare @myvar varchar(50) = 'lalala' GO @set resultset name blah GO select @myvar The documentation shows the use of semicolons instead of GO delimiters but I have semicolon delimiters turned off in the options as I want semicolons to be statement delimiters and GO to be a batch delimiter. If I add semicolons as delimiters then many scripts fail to run as they are treated as multi-batch scripts causing variable scoping issues again. Does the @set command have to work on the next query batch? Could it instead rename tabs based on the number of grids returned regardless of whether they're in a new batch or not? In other words, I'd ideally like to be able to use: declare @myvar varchar(50) = 'lalala' @set resultset name blah select @myvar Regards, Vince

Hi Vince, Thanks for the suggestion. We already have this on our list but I have added your vote for the feature. Best Regards, Hans
