How to: Save Queries (Visual Database Tools)

Save your query when you want to work with it later. Note that running your query does not save your changes.

To save a query

Create your query.
From the File menu, click Save <query_name>.

Note

A newly created query will be given a system name. To choose your own name for the query choose Save<query_name> As.
The query will be saved in the Query folder of the project in Solution Explorer.
