Tooling Updates

SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) version 18 was introduced to support SQL Server 2019 and in this episode of the podcast, we discuss some of the new updates available in SSMS and Azure Data Studio.  We talk about scenarios where we use these tools and give some feedback on the new Azure services they support.

3 Takeaways

  1. The majority of new features in SSMS support Azure Services
  2. Azure Data Studio has great tooling for Python development
  3. Notebooks are very cool, but much harder to do in database environments

The whole idea with a lot of this blockchain stuff is you want various people to be able to contribute, but you don’t quite trust any of them.
