In this Connect+Learn session with the Reporting & Analytics Technology Team, we learned about the upcoming migration from Microsoft Azure Data Studio to Visual Studio Code. Microsoft announced that it will be consolidating its SQL development tools to provide a more robust and feature-rich environment, and will be retiring Azure Data Studio on February 28, 2026. To ensure continued support, security compliance and access to a feature-rich environment, we recommend that current Azure Data Studio users transition to Visual Studio Code in advance of this date.
In this session, we discussed:
-
- An overview of the migration to Visual Studio Code.
- What’s changing, including key similarities and differences to Azure Data Studio.
- A demo of how to download and connect to Visual Studio Code.
- An overview of support resources on the Power BI site.
