SQL Server big data clusters allow you to easily combine and analyze your high-value relational data with high-volume big data.

This directly benefits users especially in editor and configuration experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest refresh picks up the latest changes from the July release of Visual Studio Code. This was implemented in the September release, but is still good to highlight for those coming from SQL Operations Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A summary of changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preview support of <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_26#_new-settings-editor\">improved settings editor<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small UI changes in grid editor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To see the full list of changes, you can view the updates at the <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_26\">Visual Studio Code updates page<\/a>.
