How to: Save Your Work in Table Designer

You can save changes to tables that are open in Table Designer.

Note

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.

To save a table

  1. Click anywhere in the Table Designer.

  2. From the File menu, choose Savetablename.

  3. In the Save dialog box, click Yes to update the database.

Note

If the changes you are saving cause no changes to other tables, you won't see this dialog.

Note

The list of tables in the Save dialog box may include tables other than the one you modified. For example, if you change the data type of a column that participates in a relationship with another table, both tables will be included in this list.

Note

To save changes to all open items, such as tables, views, stored procedures, from the File menu choose Save All.
