BUG: Current Database Not Correct After Use in Query Window

ID: Q121022

The information in this article applies to:
BUG# 10141 (4.2)

SYMPTOMS

Doing a use <databasename> in the query window will reset the database named in the current database list box. However, the prior database listed in the box is the one still active as the current database.

Issuing a use command in a query window in Object Manager may cause the database listed in the current database list box to be incorrect. For example, if an sa whose default database is master connects with Object Manager, then opens a query window and issues the commands, 


   use pubs
   go
   select * from authors
   go

and then closes the query window, the current database list box will indicate pubs is the current database. If the sa then clicks the objects button, the objects listed will be from the master database, not pubs.


WORKAROUND

Select the correct database in the current database list box to reset the current database, then reclick the objects window.


STATUS
