Database

The drop-down list box on the toolbar shows all of the databases associated with the server named on the toolbar. To quickly change from one database to another within a connected session, click the database name in the drop-down list box. When you select a different database a "use [database]" line is added to the history buffer.

Highlight the text you want to reuse and click Go to redisplay the statement or batch in the Input Window and execute it again.

Click the Up icon to select the previous batch in the History Window and display it in the Input Window where you can edit the command or click Go and execute it again.
Click the Down icon to select the next batch in the History Window and display it in the Input Window where you can edit the command or click Go and execute it again.
