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
