well .. we can only execute a query from inside a query tab (or – when saved to a file – from menu .. tools .. execute SQL script but in that case the results from SELECT and SHOW statements do not display).
A displayed result set in SQLyog is a ‘child’ of the Query tab that holds the query and a result set cannot display otherwise. What we could do is to add a context menu to favorites “open in new query tab and execute” or similar. However I think wtih session restore of recent versions there is another solution. Just have a (or more) saved session with the queries you execute routinedly.
