SQL Server Management Studio currently supports query execution results to be displayed in three different ways: Results to Grid,
Results to Text and Results to File.
By default SQL Server Management Studio is configured to display query results in
Grid format.  If you want to change the default to some other option follow these steps.
1. In SQL Server Management Studio, under Tools menu, click
Options as shown in the snippet below.
2. In the Options dialog box, expand Query Results, expand
SQL Server and then select General as shown in the snippet below. In the right side panel choose one of the three options shown below in the
Default Destination for results drop down list and click
OK to save the changes as shown in the snippet below. The changes will go into effect once you open a New Query window.
Query Result Options for Results to Text
In this format you have the option to display the results in a different tab as well as setting different output options.
In the Options dialog box, expand Query Results, expand
SQL Server and then select Results to Text tab as shown in the snippet below. In the right side panel first select the checkbox for
Display results in a separate tab and then select the checkbox for
Switch to results tab after the query executes and then click
OK. If you would like to also display the column name in the result set then choose the option Include column headers in the result set
as shown in the snippet below.
The options you can use in the Text format are:
Output format: - In the above snippet you could see that by default the output is displayed as columns aligned. Some of the other options that are available are Comma Delimited,
Tab Delimited, Space Delimited and Custom Delimited. If you choose the Custom Delimited option in the Output format drop down list then you need to specify a character of your choice for the delimiter in the
Custom delimiter text box.
Include column headers when copying or saving the results: - If this option is selected, then whenever the results are copied to clipboard or it is saved to a file the column headers are also copied along with the results.
Include the query in the result set: - The text of the query is displayed as part of query output under the messages tab.
Scroll as results are received: - If this option is selected, then the display focuses on the most recently returned records at the end of the results set.
Right align numeric values: - If this option is selected, then numeric values will be aligned to the right of the column.
Discard results after query executes: - If this option is selected, then the query results are not displayed in the reviewing pane.
Display results in a separate tab: - If this option is selected, then the result set after query execution will be displayed in a new tab instead of at the bottom of the query window.
Switch to results tab after the query executes: - If this option is selected, then after the query execution the screen focus will be set to the results tab.
Maximum number of characters displayed in each column: - This sets the maximum characters to display for any one column.  So if you have a column that is 500 characters this will only show the first 256 if you keep the default setting.
