Probably a copypasta mistake? Why would they spend money into this extension if 99% of developers can't use it?

Because most people will use it without reading the license, giving them the upper hand when they might needed it? Might sound a but harsh, but we're talking about Microsoft.

> [...] all without ever leaving your favorite code editor. That's cool. How do I get this into JetBrains IDEs?

I feel like JetBrains' competing product is DataGrip, which even though I'm an Emacs user, I've happily paid for forever. I believe that if you just use the combined suite (IntelliJ?) then you get SQL completion based on your loaded database everywhere in the IDE. Something fun I accidentally learned this way is that the completion is so accurate I didn't even notice that I made a mistake in a database table I recent…

Yes, Intellj will recognize that the string in my code is an SQL statement and use auto complete and validation when it is connected to a database.

I've looked at the announcement and it seems that the functionality of Jetbrains is similar.

Is there a single example of MS doing something like this in the last 10 years?

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?

Anyone who works in risk management and/or threat modeling for a living does.

I use DataGrip, but only for very simple tasks and only against PG and occasionally SQLite and it has always felt like way overkill for me (and it's a heavy app). This will be a more convenient option!

DataGrip would be perfect if it had a community edition. As someone who connects to a database only two or three times a week, I’m not willing to pay for it.
