Visual Studio For Mac Sql

Applies to: Visual Studio Code Version 1.3.1

It took me about 6 months but I finally stopped using the PowerShell ISE and now only use Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell console. I’ve been workingwith SQL a lot and in the middle of writing some T-SQL a thought popped into my head, “I wonder if I can connect to SQL with Visual Studio Code?” As it turns outyou can and there is a nice extension for connecting to Microsoft SQL called vscode-mssql. There are a few more extensions available, but I chose this one based on reviews and by the documentation available at the time.

Setting up Connections

Turn Visual Studio into a powerful development environment for SQL Server, Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse.

Next you’ll want to setup some connections to your SQL databases. To do that you will need to modify either the User Settings or Workspace Settings in Visual Studiocode. I chose to modify the User Settings.

  1. In Visual Studio Code Click on File
  2. Click Preferences
  3. Click User Settings
  4. Within the settings.json file define your databases settings, see below for details.

  4. Select the database you want, then hit Enter
