I'm connected to database. I use db by Management Studio 2012 Express. Can I check connection string by click something in Management Studio?

Within SSMS, I'm not sure there's an easy way to do that. But a simple query will return you the information (without the password of a connection string, obviously):
select
'data source=' + @@servername +
';initial catalog=' + db_name() +
case type_desc
when 'WINDOWS_LOGIN'
then ';trusted_connection=true'
else
';user id=' + suser_name()
end
from sys.server_principals
where name = suser_name()
Note, db_name() will return the current database name if there is no parameter specified, so that is dependent on your current scope.

just for info: in SSMS 2010, the view sys.server_principals doesn't exist yet. But we can use the table syslogin (if I recall correctly) – Hoàng Long Oct 1 '15 at 5:54

I am new to SSMS. I created a new query with above code and ran it. It says "query executed successfully" but where would I find actual the results? Output window only shows "app exited with error code 0". – jj_ Jun 13 '18 at 5:57
