Install from the VSCode marketplace and connect to a supported database with connection credentials.
This is a plugin for Visual Studio Code that lets you manage databases without leaving your code editor. Instead of switching between your text editor and a separate database tool, you can browse tables, write and run SQL queries, format code, and keep a history of your work, all built into VSCode. The extension connects to your database and shows you its structure in a sidebar, similar to how a file explorer works. You can write SQL queries in the editor, run them with a click, and see results instantly. It also includes handy features like auto-formatting to clean up messy SQL code, bookmarks to save frequently-used queries, and a search history so you can find queries you've run before. If you're generating new records, it can even help you write the INSERT statements. The tool supports most major databases, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and AWS Redshift all work out of the box. A few less common databases like InterSystems IRIS and SAP HANA are supported through community-maintained plugins. This breadth means whether you're working with a small local database or a cloud data warehouse, there's a good chance it'll work. Anyone who regularly writes SQL, backend developers, data analysts, DBAs, would find this useful. A developer might use it to quickly test a query while building a feature, or a data analyst might use it to explore a dataset without context-switching to a separate GUI tool. The project is open source and actively maintained, with extensive documentation available online.
