Celebrating 1M installations milestone for mssql extension for VS Code with another update
We are excited to announce that a new update for the mssql extension for VS Code is now available on the VS Code Marketplace.
Use the mssql extension to turn VS Code into a powerful editor of T-SQL development, which supports SQL Server running on-prem, Azure SQL Database, and Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
Download the latest update from the VS Code Marketplace.
1M installations milestone
Thanks to your help, the mssql extension has hit an awesome milestone of 1 million+ downloads in less than a year since general availability announcement on May 1, 2017. Since GA, more and more VS Code users have downloaded the mssql extension through the recommended extensions experience as they write out T-SQL queries.
As our user base grows, we will continue to send updates from the high priority issues determined by the community. To make this meaningful for the community, we need your help to report and upvote your high priority features and issues on our Github Issues page. Over the past year, the SQL Tools team has prioritized bringing our new tools open source, and using the Github Issues page to help drive priority has become common practice. Check out SQL Operations Studio and mssql-cli Issues page to see this practice in action.
Thank you again for using this tool and providing us feedback. We know how much the developer community loves VS Code, and we will make sure you continue to have an awesome T-SQL editing experience with our future updates.
