Sql server management studio : Load last used windows

Question

I use mostly the same 3 tables and about 4 queries.

Each time I need to log in Sql server management studio and open the corresponding 7 tables / queries one by one.

Can I set it somehow to remember them and at next start it would open these windows automatically? Other Sql Tools do this without any special settings.

Thank you

Answer 1

SQL Prompt 6 includes a Tab History feature that records previously opened tabs and restores the SSMS workspace to how it was when you left off.

This isn't a free tool, but has a 14-day trial. If you get a chance to try it, do let us know whether it meets your needs as we're always looking for ways to improve the functionality.

Answer 2

SSMS Boost also includes a history feature that I think will do what you want. It's a free add-on.

Answer 3

Check out creating a shortcut to SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) using commandline options. Microsoft SSMS Command Line

You have option to create a scriptfile, which would list the scripts you want to open at startup, or you could create an SSMS project, which would include the scripts you want, and open the project at SSMS startup.

Ssms Command Snytax
    [scriptfile] [projectfile] [solutionfile]
    [-S servername] [-d databasename] [-U username] [-P password] 
    [-E] [-nosplash] [-log [filename]?] [-?]
