Tabbed

✓ functional

Keep the workspace calm by looking at one result set at a time.

Tabbed is the default for a reason: each result set gets a tab and only the active one is visible. It is the calmest choice when you are focused on one answer at a time.

When it is the right choice

A batch where one set matters. A script that ends in the SELECT you care about puts that set one click away and the rest out of the way.
Wide results. One grid gets the full width of the pane, which is the difference between reading a forty-column row and scrolling it.
Big results. Only the visible grid is rendered, so a batch of several large sets costs what the one you are looking at costs.

Each tab carries its own row count, and the footer summarises the run as a whole - so you can see that set 3 returned nothing without opening it.

Switch to it from the grid's Layout submenu, or flip between Tabbed and Stacked with the layout toggle in the toolbar and results chrome. Your choice is remembered per editor tab when session resume is on.
