How can I change my default database in SQL Server without using MS SQL Server Management Studio?
I dropped a database from SQL Server, however it turns out that my login was set to use the dropped database as its default. I can connect to SQL Server Management Studio by using the 'options' button in the connection dialog and selecting 'master' as the database to connect to. However, whenever I try to do anything in object explorer, it tries to connect using my default database and fails. Does anyone know how to set my default database without using object explorer ? Alternative to sp_defaultdb (which will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server ) could be ALTER LOGIN :
