To learn more about these features, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/blog\/2019\/03\/18\/the-march-release-of-azure-data-studio-is-now-available\/\">check out the full blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the excitement for PostgreSQL support, this makes Azure Data Studio officially a multi-database tool. As a result, we\u2019re curious to hear what other databases the community is looking for. Currently, we have the following tracking requests. If one of these databases listed interests you, please leave a thumbs up on the issue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/4904\">MySQL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/4903\">SQLite<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/4916\">Azure Cosmos DB<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/4911\">VistaDB<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/4917\">MariaDB<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/4918\">Redis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If there are other databases you would like to see that are not on this list, please open an issue following the format of these issues.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, SQL Notebooks continues to be used in demos, conferences, videos, and blogs all over the world. You can keep track of all of the exciting ways the community is using Notebooks in Azure Data Studio across SQL Server, Azure SQL, and PostgreSQL by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/azuredatastudio\">following us on Twitter.<\/a> If you have ideas of how to showcase Notebooks, please don\u2019t hesitate to tweet us.<\/p>\n<p>We have also made it even easier to use the PowerShell extension for Azure Data Studio <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/sql\/azure-data-studio\/powershell-extension\">with new updated documentation.<\/a> Give it a try and let us know your ideas to make even better use of the PowerShell extension for your database management needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Azure Explorer improvements<\/h2>\n<p>If you used the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/sql\/azure-data-studio\/azure-resource-explorer\">Azure Resource Explorer<\/a>, you may be wondering where the Azure icon went. In this release, we wanted to make it even easier for you to manage your Azure resources by having an integrated object viewer experience with our Servers View. Thus, we made a few changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Servers<\/strong> view has been renamed to <strong>Connections<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Azure<\/strong> view now allows users to browse objects in Azure SQL Databases directly without having to copy to Servers view<\/li>\n<li><strong>Servers <\/strong>view has the exact same functionality as the previous Servers experience\n<ul>\n<li>Lists saved connections for SQL Server, Azure SQL, and PostgreSQL connections<\/li>\n<li>Server groups to help organize connections<\/li>\n<li>Right-click actions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Azure <\/strong>view has the exact same functionality as Azure Resource Explorer\n<ul>\n<li>Sign in to Azure account<\/li>\n<li>View Azure subscriptions and resources<\/li>\n<li>Filter subscriptions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/329-2.png\" alt=\"View of connections. in SQL Server.\" width=\"415\" height=\"383\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Connections viewlet is fully extensible providing the opportunity to bring in future extensions such as Central Management Servers.\u00a0 Check out the latest insiders build for an early preview of the CMS experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Visual Studio Code merge process<\/h2>\n<p>As requested by the community, we&#8217;ve decided to get the newest Visual Studio Code features even faster. Previously, we would be 2-3 months behind before doing a VS Code merge.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve recently made engineering changes so that we can stay more closely in sync with VS Code.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the April release is built against the latest stable VS Code (<a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_33\">1.33<\/a>), which is their March release, and upgraded from <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_30\">1.30.2<\/a>. This includes features from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_33\">March release<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_32\">February release<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/updates\/v1_31\">January release<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Users should expect to see VS Code features light up much more quickly in Azure Data Studio going forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Insiders build process<\/h2>\n<p>As part of moving faster to align with VS Code releases, some new features will be shipped in an Insiders build which is a preview build that doesn\u2019t have the same quality as our monthly stable builds. In production environments, you should keep using the monthly stable builds, but if you want to get the latest features, you can try out our Insiders build.<\/p>\n<p>Insiders builds allow us to get feedback on new experiences like Central Management Servers, new welcome pages, schema compare, and more. We also update the Insiders build daily and keep the same download link for convenience.<\/p>\n<p>To try out an Insiders build, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/blob\/master\/README.md\">go to our GitHub<\/a>, and search below our stable releases to find the following:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/329.png\" alt=\"Insider build downloads.\" width=\"443\" height=\"228\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Choose the installation method depending on your operating system, and then you are good to go. Keep in mind that Insiders builds will tend to have more bugs, so feel free to report any that you see.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to stay on our monthly stable builds, then that is not a problem. Read on to learn more about changes in this release.<\/p>\n<h2>Notebook improvements<\/h2>\n<p>Notebooks in Azure Data Studio continues to grow in popularity with the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/sql\/azure-data-studio\/sql-notebooks?view=sqlallproducts-allversions\">SQL Notebooks<\/a> for both SQL Server and PostgreSQL. Thus, we are committed to improving the Notebook experience for not only the SQL kernel, but for other kernels like Python. Here is a summary of Notebook changes this month:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added a button on the toolbar to clear output for all cells<\/li>\n<li>Added a button on the toolbar to run all cells<\/li>\n<li>Fixed connection name instead of server name (if set) in the <em>Attach to<\/em> drop down<\/li>\n<li>Fix for images in markdown not rendering when you\u2019re using relative image paths<\/li>\n<li>Improved functionality in notebook grids by adding double-click auto-resize column size and improved mouse wheel support<\/li>\n<li>Improvements to error handling and Python install resiliency when installing Python through notebooks<\/li>\n<li>Improvements to <em>select all<\/em> functionality when selecting notebook cells<\/li>\n<li>Improvements to notebook connections to prevent closing a notebook and impacting an object explorer connection<\/li>\n<li>Improved notebook experience to display a message to the user when the notebook disconnected and needs a connection to run cells<\/li>\n<li>Improved support for unsaved notebooks to rehydrate in ADS when ADS is started again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you use Notebooks in your day-to-day work or in demos, you will inevitably get ideas for feature requests. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\/new\/choose\">open issues on our GitHub directly<\/a> and we will consider implementing these ideas.<\/p>\n<h2>Announcing SandDance extension<\/h2>\n<p>Azure Data Studio now offers quick visualizations for the files you are working on whether its local files or files you are working on HDFS in your SQL Server 2019 Big Data Cluster. SandDance, the well-loved data visualization tool from Microsoft Research, has been re-released as a Preview extension in Azure Data Studio and as an open source project on GitHub. In addition, SandDance is also available as a Preview extension to Visual Studio Code.<\/p>\n<p>You can use SandDance to explore and tell stories with your data, easily discover patterns and insights by visualizing datasets across different attributes using natural user interactions. By using easy-to-understand views, SandDance helps you find insights about your data, which in turn helps you tell stories supported by data, build cases based on evidence, test hypotheses, dig deeper into surface explanations, support decisions for purchases, or relate data into a wider, real world context.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially helpful when you are trying to have a quick look at the data and understand what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/SQL-Server-map.gif\" alt=\"SandDance extension in action.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SandDance was created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/group\/vida\/\">Microsoft Research\u2019s Visualization and Interactive Data Analysis (VIDA) group.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit the new <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/SandDance\">SandDance GitHub project<\/a> or try it out now with the <a href=\"https:\/\/microsoft.github.io\/SandDance\/\">companion website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Bug fixes<\/h2>\n<p>If you would like to help make Azure Data Studio a great product, please share any feedback or report issues through <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azuredatastudio\/issues\">our Issues page.<\/a> Our engineering team is regularly going through the untriaged issues and assigning issues into different monthly milestones so that you will know what we are working on it.
