View the job log

The job log displays messages that are related to your job.
To see query optimizer and other database debugging messages, follow these steps:
  1. Select Include Debug Messages in Job Log from the Options menu.
  2. Run the statement again.
  3. If the Job Log dialog box is open when you do this, refresh the view to see new messages.

To view the job log, Select Job Log from the View menu.

The job log is not cleared when Clear Run History is used, so you can use the job log to see messages that are no longer in the Output pane.
