Azure Data Studio is a lightweight, cross-platform data management and development tool for data professionals. It provides a modern editor experience with IntelliSense, code snippets, source control integration, and an integrated terminal, making it easier to manage and develop databases.
With Windows, macOS, and Linux support, Azure Data Studio allows you to connect to various databases, including Azure SQL, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Cosmos DB. Its extensibility enables users to customize their experience by installing relevant extensions for their workflow.
Azure Data Studio's familiar interface offers a modern editor experience with IntelliSense, code snippets, source control integration, and an integrated terminal. Engineered with the data platform user in mind, its extensibility allows users to customize their experience by installing the extensions relevant to their workflow, including database migrations, charting, GitHub Copilot, and more!
The source code for Azure Data Studio and its data providers is available on GitHub under a source code EULA that provides rights to modify and use the software but not redistributing it or hosting it in a cloud service. See Azure Data Studio FAQ for more information.

SQL code editor with IntelliSenseAzure Data Studio offers a modern, keyboard-focused SQL coding experience that makes everyday tasks easier with built-in features like multiple tab windows, a rich SQL editor, IntelliSense, keyword completion, code snippets, code navigation, and source control integration (Git). Run on-demand SQL queries and view and save results as text, JSON, or Excel. Edit data, organize your favorite database connections, and browse database objects in a familiar object browsing experience. To learn how to use the SQL editor, see Use the SQL editor to create database objects.
Smart SQL code snippetsSQL code snippets generate the proper SQL syntax to create databases, tables, views, stored procedures, users, logins, and roles and update existing database objects. Use smart snippets to quickly create copies of your database for development or testing purposes and to generate and execute CREATE and INSERT scripts.
Azure Data Studio also provides functionality to create custom SQL code snippets. See Create and use code snippets to learn more.
Customizable Server and Database DashboardsCreate rich customizable dashboards to monitor and quickly troubleshoot performance bottlenecks in your databases. To learn about insight widgets and database (and server) dashboards, see Manage servers and databases with insight widgets.
Connection management (server groups)Server groups provide a way to organize connection information for the servers and databases you work with. For details, see Server groups.
Integrated TerminalYou can use your favorite command-line tools (for example, Bash, PowerShell, sqlcmd, BCP, and ssh) in the Integrated Terminal window right within the Azure Data Studio user interface. See Integrated terminal to learn about the integrated terminal.
Enhance the Azure Data Studio experience by extending the functionality of the base installation. Azure Data Studio provides extensibility points for data management activities and support for extension authoring.
To learn about extensibility in Azure Data Studio, see Extensibility. See Extension authoring to learn about authoring extensions.
