  • SQL Server Management Studio query template

    Last day I was working on SQL server and I got this strange error
    ---------------------------
    Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
    ---------------------------
    Cannot find template file for the new query ('C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
    Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SqlWorkbenchProjectItems\SQL\SQLFile.sql').
    ---------------------------
    OK

    At first I thought my SQl server installation was corrupt. I changed few settings, tried to repair but no use.

    Solution:
    Actually the solution was very simple. I just created an empty file SQLFile.sql in the designated folder and then it started working. Now this gave me a new idea. I could add my own template and every time I open SSMS I will get this template. Phew
