Are you working on porting the dacpac (Data-tier Application Wizard) plugin, which can be used on Azure Data Studio, to here?

Sorry, not using this extension.

This does not take into account ORMs that people use in their app nowdays.

Perhaps you could release a plugin to run prisma commands directly to the database?

But no chance to edit rows, so we have to use Management-Studio 😢

Take a look at the new MSSQL extension in VS Code and get connected to your free Azure SQL Database or multiple free ones.

What! You didn't they were free? So is SQL Server 2025 Developer Edition which is full featured!

Thanks for the demo, guys!

I expect only one thing from mssql extension vscode: make the query execution possible with F5

[googletjanster]

Perhaps the worlds most expensive database server?

Nah I’ll stick to Postgres and MariaDB 👀
