Query results returned so why is Query editor still 'Executing'?

  • I've got a query that returns a result set but Query Editor is still in executing mode. No errors, and I can cancel exectuing query, my connection to database is active.

    What is the likely problem?

  • It hasn't returned all the results?

    Often SSMS will start displaying results while the query is still running, especially if it's a large resultset.
