How to open a Sql2008 table
2 answers
Right click on the relevant table and select "Edit Top 200 Rows".
"200" is configured in the Tools \ Options dialog under "SQL Server Object Explorer"
Changing the value for the Value for the Edit Top Row Commands command to 0 will return all rows for editing, similar to Open Table in SSMS 2005.
You can also use Ctrl + 3 to display the underlying SQL after selecting "Edit Top 200 Rows" and manually modify the query to customize which rows are displayed for editing.
