Oh woah this looks great. Quite amazing they put the effort into this for Postgres instead of SQL Server. The demand must be a lot higher.
They already have the SQL Server Management Studio[1], which seems to cover similar ground? I'm assuming they might want to move SSMS to VSCode in time, so trying it out by covering new ground, PostgreSQL, makes sense to me. [1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ssms/sql-server-management...

Dev on the project here - I'll mention that this language is due to corporate boilerplate public preview licensing. It is absolutely available and encouraged for use in commercial etc. activities. The licensing language needs to be fixed.
That's good to know! Right now it's pretty much illegal for anyone to use it in the situations most people would want to use it for. Any idea what the eventual license will be?
Postico has always been my defacto way to interact with Postgres. Curious if there are any Postico users who have tried this yet.
Does something like this exist for mysql?
Isn't PGAdmin good enough? Not hating, but I'm not a database guy either so just curious why create a VSCode extension for GUI stuff.
It also recognizes your regular programming code strings as SQL and can also autocomplete/highlight typos, but I don't use that, because we're using JOOQ that generates code stubs from live DB.
Does anyone here feel that the graphical editors actually save them time or make their lives easier?

Can't use it for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities? Uh, this actually seems insane to me? What is it for then?
> Can't use it for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities? Uh, this actually seems insane to me? What is it for then? Its a public preview, for which Microsoft probably does not wish to accept non-disclaimable liabilities for defects when used in those circumstances. It is for previewing. By people who are interested in what is in the pipeline for a more general release.
So you are saying that MIT/ISC/GPL/Apache2 and all the other OSS licenses do open you up to liabilites?
I've never used any of these kind of graphical SQL editors. I'm reasonably ok with SQL but I've always just done text queries. Does anyone here feel that the graphical editors actually save them time or make their lives easier?
In my opinion, i see that graphical editors are more product for major section of devs and admins.

> going all in on open source over the past 10-15 years. Given that there are many Microsoft closed source extensions for VS Code, that cannot legally be used with the open source Version of VS Code, I would say they are not going all in. Knee deep maybe.
Because of the closed extensions situation, the open source part feels insincere. Sort of like a free plan up to 10 users and then pretty expensive situation. The purpose isn't the free plan, it's just an advertising measure to get people to where you really benefit eventually.
Microsoft isn't "sincere" because it's just a business doing what businesses do, making money. They're not trying to be altruistic or principled. They're just doing business.
But I have personally benefited from this deal by having TypeScript and VS Code at my disposal.
