How to change font size in Query window

  • I am running SQL Server 20.2.

    When I copy a query into the query window the font size is reduced so small that I can NOT read it, or the results!!

    How do I change the font size??

    BYW: I just spent a LOT of time in Tools -> Fonts and Colour and did not find anything there.

     

  • To be sure, that's not "SQL Server".  There's no such thing as SQL Server 20.2.  What you're seeing is SQL Server Management Studio, which is also known as "SSMS".  That's the free IDE that comes with SQL Server.

    There is a place under {Tools}{Options}{Fonts and Colors} to make the change (see the big Red box in the graphic below).  If you're not seeing that, then look just above the Red box and make sure you have set the {Show settings for:} set to Text Editor.

    ...but I'm going to suggest you don't because it will also affect the print size and size in Word, etc, if you ever need to paste the code there.

    Instead, use the magnifier setting in the low left of the text editor window.  Again, look for the Red box in the graphic below.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
