Save Queries (Visual Database Tools)

Save your query when you want to work with it later. Note that running your query does not save your changes.

2. From the File menu, click Save <query_name>.

   [!NOTE]
   A newly created query will be given a system name. To choose your own name for the query choose Save<query_name> As.

3. The query will be saved in the Query folder of the project in Solution Explorer.
