Can I have multiple rows of tabs in SQL Server Management Studio

Solution 1:

It's now available in current ssms version. From menu => Tools => options:

Solution 2:

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.

enter image description here

This will reduce the tab name, so that SSMS will show more tabs at a time

Solution 3:

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.
