> [...] 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…

Out of curiosity: how do you set up your CI checks (linter, formatting) if the opensource tools behave differently from JetBrains'? Do you use Qodana[0]?

One benefit of using VSCode/Sublime Text/vim/emacs language integrations is that I roughly know what command to run to get the same results in the terminal as I get in the editor. With JetBrains does-it--all IDEs, I have no clue.

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.

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

VS Code forks like Cursor that use their extensions?

does anyone actually think like this?

I go further than that and say screw Microsoft's partially open source stuff. Because VS Code isn't fully FOSS, which is a bit weird, isn't 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...).

Super cool for them to finally add in VSCode. My team is trying to build even more here by building a dedicated SQL editor with a context aware AI copilot, and with sharing and collaboration so we don’t need to send queries in slack anymore :)

Check it out and get on the waitlist getgalaxy.io/explore/product-tour

happy to chat live with anyone if interested, support@getgalaxy.io

Can't use it for commercial, non-profit, or revenue-generating activities? Uh, this actually seems insane to me? What is it for then?

I assume that restriction is due to the public preview status. But yeah MS really ought to at least allow businesses to evaluate it for potential subsequent use after preview.

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.

it has to be VS Code by a long shot. They don't charge for it, but it serves as an enormous draw to keep people in the MS ecosphere and keeps MS in the developer game.
