can you turn off the "feature" that puts the [ and ] around the objects that are dragged or "scripted to" a query window?

    Wondering if there is the possibility to turn off the "feature" that puts the [ and ] around the objects that are dragged or "scripted to" a query window? I hate the clutter, and I know that our DB has no objects that would require them. Google showed me that back in 2005 MS said no, hopefully that has changed.

    No... no setting in SSMS anyway. If I'm doing a lot of such work, I write a macro in word to do it. Copy and paste is pretty easy.

    I usually do a "replace" [ with nothing, and ] with nothing, just tedious.

    Thanks.

    I just use SQL Prompt instead of dragging and dropping. It works a lot better and includes all kinds of extra functions.

    And yeah, I work for Red Gate, but I didn't used to.
