Today, a customer asked me how to open a table in SQL Server 2008 to edit the rows in a table manually as she is able to do it in SQL 2005 using open table option in right click of table but in SQL Server 2008 it was replaced with edit top 200 rows. Initially I though there is no way to change from the default option Edit top 200 to all but after searching in BOL ,I found this
SSMS -> Tools -> Options-> SQL Server Object Explorer-> Commands-> Set value 0 for Value for Edit Top Rows Command
Note: Setting value 0 lets you retrieve all or you can customize this value to your requirement.
Source: BOL
