How can I run just the statement my cursor is on in SQL Server Management Studio?

Question

As a long time Toad for Oracle user, I have gotten used to hitting Ctrl+Enter and having just the statement under the cursor be executed.

In SQL Server Management St

Answer 1

In Toad for SQL Server the following default hot-keys can be used for execution:

• F5: Execute all SQL statements in editor
• F9: Execute SQL statement at current cursor position
• Shift-F9: Execute all SQL statements from cursor, including the current at cursor position

However, like 'ercan' wrote, you need to seperate/follow each statement with 'GO'.

SELECT TOP 5 * FROM accounts
GO

SELECT TOP 5 * FROM users
GO

SELECT TOP 5 * FROM contracts
GO

The following works for me ... I use SSMS 2012

1 - Click on Tools > Options > Environment Keyboard

2 - For Show commands containing, set it to Query.Execute

3 - For Use new shortcut in, set it to SQL Query Editor

4 - For Press shortcut keys, perform the Ctrl-Enter combination.

5 - Click on Assign. Click on OK.

Answer 3

This feature is present in SSMSBoost add-in for SSMS (I am the developer of this add-in):

Shift-F5 will select the current statement (which allows you to review what you are currently going to execute). Then you press F5 and execute it.

Answer 4

you could always use the command line tools sqlcmd and osql. I did a lot of sybase all at the unix command line using a wrapper function that passed my command string into the equivalent (which i think was isql?). I used vi to, so maybe I was just crazy then ;-)

Answer 5

Just select (highlight) the single statement you want to run and hit F5.

Answer 6

Use Shift+▼ (arrow down) to select single row, save a button than Ctrl+KU :D lol.

Then use F5 to run it.

Hope it help too..
