This is so cool. A big reason I used prisma was for prisma studio. Having this kind of support in vscode is nice to see

(prisma team member) We're going to be rolling out Prisma Studio as a VS Code extension soon!

Ooooh can’t wait for that, and for further investment in Prisma Studio generally — already a really nice tool, I just want some slightly more power-user-y stuff!

Looks nice enough. I only wish there was an easy way to spread VS Code across multiple monitors. I commonly will work in code on one monitor, and the database tool (DataGrip currently) on another.

Maybe, but darned if I'm going to be the one to take the legal risk of installing it.

I'm willing to put good money that MS is not going to sue anyone for using this

I am extremely doubtful that they would. And yet, using it under that license is taking the legal risk that they'll act kindly even though they have the right, under the license, to be jerks about it.

Is MS going to be a jerk about it? Almost certainly not. Could they if they wanted to? Sure seems like it.

I wonder what is the most "valuable" IDE right now for MS. A few years ago VsCode was marketed essentially as "Visual studio for beginners", where you were supposed to move to Visual Studio after you became a real dev, but since then VSCode has been growing and growing and stands now as the most used "IDE", where Visual Studio is mostly seen as "legacy" (oversimplification, great IDE for CPP and .NET but still...).

Monetarily, Visual Studio. There are tons of enterprise development workflows, and plugins, that probably will never be ported into VSCode, from their .NET and COM implementations. Now in terms of mindshare, and gateway drug into Microsoft ecosystem, definitely VSCode. It is also the best Web IDE, for the return of timesharing development, sorry cloud. That alone means everyone that is on Github and Azure, gets to us…

Also the best webdev IDE.

This solves a major problem that I built an npm package called "pgstrap"[1] for. It generates a "database structure" directory so that my database schema is available to LLMs (it also makes code review easier because you can see the changes to various tables). So I have a SQL file for each table in my database, neatly organized into directories for each schema. Rails has a similar idea with schema.rb I'm not sure whe…

That seems like a really pragmatic tool, thanks for sharing it!

I'm curious, do you output triggers, store procedures, and such? Many tools seem to stop after you've defined tables, columns, and indices, but I'd love some better tooling to make use of the rest of the DB's features.

I noticed yesterday that you can pull out a tab into its own window. It's not "natural" cross monitor, but you can place the windows on both. Not sure if that helps

Please don't harangue new users as soon as they show up to HN. Whatever legitimate point you have is drowned out by the atmosphere of hostility you create. Not only that but it damages the reputation of this community. You ( https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ). There's no reason why you can't make your substantive points while doing so. (Edit: you needn't look far for a good example: https://news.ycomb…

I didn't mean it to be haranguing, but OP was giving what amounted to legal advice that was actually wrong and dangerous. I do think that needs to be called out and clarified—not as a personal attack on OP but just as a matter of safety for readers. I'll acknowledge that kstrauser may have done a better job of sounding friendly about it, but I don't think my question was out of line nor even particularly aggressive g…

OP was giving what amounted to legal advice

That is a huge overstatement that you can't really use to justify the haranguing. They just popped in to address the potential issue and let people know they're trying to sort it out. Nobody is giving legal advice and nobody is going to end up in legal trouble because Microsoft messed up their license boilerplate for a bit.

VS Code has had multi monitor support for a while now https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/custom-layout#_...
