Resizing Property Columns
See Also
You can manually change the width of a property column in a database table by resizing it in Column Properties view. For example, you can widen the Datatype column if it contains user-defined data type names that are too long to see in their entirety. You can also automatically resize a property column to fit its widest entry.
