It isn't there. I created a shortcut from the SSMS tasks import menu but now I can't select a database.
Where is the DB selection?
Oh crap, I just realized the box wasn't sized right and the database was hidden. Something about your answer prompted me to resize it.
Thanks.
Here is what I discovered. I have a laptop and an external monitor that is bigger than the laptop screen. I am extending the display and when I use the larger display for my work the rendering of the screens seems to use the smaller screen to determine what to show.
Go figure.

I am trying to create ssisdb on sql 2017 instance, i have configured clr , but for some reason the option to create SSISDB is not showing. Please see attachment and help.enter image description here
Ive had similar issues with several kinds of MS products like SSIS or SSMS, the OK or other buttons not showing, also users couldnt see values or filters in Power BI etc.
In these cases it was a display issue. Try display it on a larger monitor, try changing screen resolution, or move the box further up or try and resize the box in which the buttons should be in.
I also had cases where I couldnt see any buttons but they were displaying when a colleague set it up on his computer, so maybe you could ask a colleague if he/she can see the buttons.
I have a report with 5 charts on it in SQL Server Report Builder 2016. In the "Design" window, the 5 charts appear to be on the same page. In the "Print Layout" window, the charts are now on three different pages. I would like all the charts to be on the same page when printed.
How do I fix this?
Make sure your design surface isn't expanded too far to the right. Make the ruler visible in combination with looking at the margins to make sure the graphs don't spill over to the next page because they are too far to the right. This is a common problem and I wish the designer had some way to indicate this is the case.
I've been using pgAdmin III for about three years, but we're now being forced over to pgAdmin 4 on our new PCs. I'm missing some of the functionality, and I haven't been able to find any answers to these questions in the documentation on the query tool, so I'm guessing maybe the things I want to do just aren't possible.
1) Can I open a new query tool instance in its own window, or am I stuck with tabs in the main pdAgmin window?
2) In pgAdmin III, you could easily switch between databases from a dropdown box at the top of the query window. I don't see any way to do that in the query tool tabs. Is the only way to open another instance in the correct database?
Yes, you can open Query tool in a separate window
After opening a tab, you can click and drag the tab out of the pgAdmin window to create its own window.
Update: The location of this setting has changed. Currently it can be found under Browser/Tab Settings:
Unfortunately, At a moment there is no way to change the database from Query tool window, each time you have open new query tool instance from required database but it's in TODO feature list, We will hope to get it soon :)

I'm wondering if it's possible to setup SQL Server to have multiple rows of tabs for files / queries.
I have a lot of queries I want to switch between, and could move them to different horizontal groups, but I think two rows would be much easier to navigate than that pin on the left that drops down the big list of open queries.
Visual Studio kind of supports this if you pin enough code windows to fill up the top bar.
Is there something similar in SQL Server?
Edit:
I'm trying to achieve something like this (screenshot from Visual Studio)
While SQL Server is more like this
It's now available in current ssms version. From menu => Tools => options:
By default SSMS includes Database name, File name, Login name and server name in each query tab title. So that we can see only 3 or 4 tabs at a time.
There is a work around for this,
go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > Editor Tab and Status Bar and change all of the "Tab Text" group options to false except for the file name.
This will reduce the tab name, so that SSMS will show more tabs at a time
I know of at least one plugin that will do this in SSMS (and Visual Studio). Because, yeah, it would be nice.
Tabs Studio - document tabs manager for Visual Studio IDE.
You can do this by pinning all the tabs. If tabs are pinned, they won't go out of sight but will go to the next tabline instead.
The last line in the picture is a result of "Show pinned tabs in a separate row" option described in this answer.
You can pin all tabs. Pinned tabs won't be hidden.
You can get a list of open tabs (Active Files) using the Ctrl-Tab shortcut. Continue pressing Tab to cycle through the list and release when the desired tab is highlighted. Or just mouse click on the required tab while keeping Ctrl depressed.
Some people do this by managing their files in an SSMS Solution and keeping the Solution Explorer loaded, but I find these to be inflexible and unwieldy.
SQL Prompt 6 has an "Open Tabs" list in the Tab History feature, which you might also find useful.
It seems that due to ActiveX that Firefox can't display the print icon/button on the Report Viewer control in SQL Server Reporting services. Has anybody figured out a way to work around this or gotten this to work?
If it's not possible, does anybody know of a way to add a standard button that would trigger the print behavior on the report viewer control?
As you state, the print functionality is ActiveX, so it will not work in Firefox.
You could place a button in the "msrs-buttonHeaderBackground" div using a javascript button.
I found the div using the firebug firefox extension - it's great.
You could possibly find the other divs you'd like to hide and put them in a print style sheet, so they don't show up when going to print.

I agree with the author that ctrl-p could simply be pressed for a similar result instead of adding a button - but the print style would still help in that.
You know what...I just realized something. You will not be able to print a page that is more than one page! Ouch.
I know this is a very old questions, but we came across this and chose the following solution.
We downloaded an IE Tab extension(this is one there are several more) for FireFox and then configured that extension to use IE to render the report server URL by default.
You could easily create a how-to web page,pdf, or maybe even create a dummy report that shows the instructions on how to do this to your end users and then you're all set.
So now every time the report server website is accessed it's being rendered in IE so the print button shows up. Every windows machine already has IE so no compatibility issue there, unless you're not using windows. :)
My best suggestion would be from within Firefox export it to PDF and then print it from your PDF viewer. In my experience this is a better way to print the reports anyway.
Hope that helps!
