  Workaround:
  
  1. In the Data Source Explorer, create a SQL statement against
  the connection of the new project?
  2. When you save the SQL Statement, you will be prompted to save
  it to a project.? But in the dialog, you will see the
  .sqlxeditor_project is automatically created
  3. Save the statement in a proper project (e.g. Proj_zV10).
