There is already a Microsoft SQL server extension for VS Code and this looks to effectively be a clone of it. After giving this a quick spin, it looks and feels the same as the SQL server extension, with the same menus, dialogs, etc. The SQL server extension I believe is what formed the basis of the now-deprecated Azure Data Studio (which was a VS code fork).

See here for the SQL server extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-mssql...

That’s correct—I’m the lead PM for the SQL extension in Visual Studio Code. We’ve been working closely with the PostgreSQL team; in fact, their extension is essentially a fork of ours, as you pointed out correctly.

Just to clarify on the Azure Data Studio (ADS) point: the MSSQL extension includes many of the core features from ADS, but our strategy is slightly different and focused on a modern, developer-first experience.

Here’s the link to our open roadmap—would love to hear your thoughts: https://aka.ms/vscode-mssql-roadmap

Since most databases expose similar schema views it shouldn't be too complicated. Feels like JetBrains has been doing this for a long time
