 You are not even getting an empty result set. Apparently you are in some
 sort of noexec mode where the query is sent to SQL Server for validation
 only.
 
 There are a couple of ways to get this behaviour. First make sure that
 you press the green arrow to run the query. The blue tick is for validation
 only.
 
 If the problem is not that simple, check Tools->Options->Connection
 properties. If any of SET NOEXEC ON or SET PARSEONLY ON are checked,
 uncheck them.
 
 If this does not help, send these commands to SQL Server:
 
 SET PARSEONLY OFF
 SET NOEXEC OFF
 SET FMTONLY OFF
