Answer 1

You can do something similar to what you want. Right click on a table and select "edit top 200 rows" (if you are on SQL Server 2008) or "open table" in SQL Server 2005. Once you get there, there is a button on the top that says "SQL"; when you click on it, it lets you write an SQL statement and you can edit the results of it if you click a cell you want to change.

Answer 2

UPDATE
as you can see correct solution in Learning answer, In SQL server management 2014 you can
1.click on "Edit Top 200 Rows"
and then
2.clicking on "Show SQL Pane (ctrl+3)"
and
3.removing TOP (200) from select query

Refer to Shen Lance answer there is not a way to edit Result of select query. and the other answers is only for normal select and only for 200 records.

Answer 3

No. There is no way you can edit the result grid. The result grid is mainly for displaying purposes of the query you executed.

This for the reason that anybody can execute complex queries. Hopefully for the next release they will include this kind of functionality.

I Hope that answer your question.

Answer 4

If the query is written as a view, you can edit the view and update values. Updating values is not possible for all views. It is possible only for specific views. See Modifying Data Through View MSDN Link for more information. You can create view for the query and edit the 200 rows as given below:

Answer 5

First of all right click the tale select 'Edit All Rows', select 'Query Designer -> Pane -> SQL ', after that you can edit the query output in the grid.

Answer 6

Right click on any table in your dB of interest or any database in the server using master if there are joins or using multiple dBs. Select "edit top 200 rows". Select the "SQL" button in the task bar. Copy and paste your code over the existing code and run again. Now you can edit your query's result set. Sherry ;-)
