Oh please please please postgres support! The only free+open source option for Linux is Sqlectron (<a href="https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui</a>) which has massive performance issues.<p>I badly want an alternative to DataGrip. It's great, but it's not free and its open source license criteria are frankly ridiculous [<a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/buy/opensource/?product=datagrip" rel="nofollow">https://www.jetbrains.com/buy/opensource/?product=datagrip</a>]:<p>>> Your OS project may not offer paid sponsorship; receive funding from commercial companies or organizations (NGO, education, research, or governmental).

I guess it's a good thing I didn't do the project I was thinking about. I observed the fact that SQL Server had no management tool that was cross-platform, and thought perhaps I would build such a thing. Nice work Microsoft!<p>On a side-note, I'd love to see an even more minimalist stripped-down, read-mostly query/tabular result only (with pivot tables) tool, which had some local columnar storage caching/query engine, and simple import/export to common file formats as well. A simple "SQL notebook" that was cross platform, if you will, but worked more like a traditional query tool. And not embedded in MS Excel, like PowerQuery or PowerPivot (although it's powerful!).<p>Something lighter weight than BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, etc., definitely lighter weight than tools such as SSMS, DBeaver, SQuirrel, etc. - not for administrative use. I've seen a few applications that are coming close listed on HN lately, but would be nice to have something as pretty as this and which is open source.<p>Perhaps a fork with the admin features stripped out, some additional plumbing added, and read-only connections, I'm not sure.<p>Will have to think about it. Main use case is data scientists / data analysts / SQL power users.
In case you're wondering, or just want to confirm the reason for the presence of a "privacy statement" --- yes, it does phone home:<p><a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/sqlopsstudio/tree/master/src/vs/platform/telemetry" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Microsoft/sqlopsstudio/tree/master/src/vs...</a><p>At least the source is available, so it should be relatively easy to remove, but as the saying goes, "look before you leap"...
No Postgres support yet. Looks like a great app though. <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/sqlopsstudio/issues/56" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Microsoft/sqlopsstudio/issues/56</a>
I wonder what SSMS can do that this can't? SSMS is not cross platform as far as I know, whereas this is. Would be nice if they elaborated on the differences and pros/cons.
Currently extracting the 16819 files in the archive.. ;-)<p>That said, the screenshots look decent and I've been looking for an alternative to the SQL Server Management Studio a couple times already. So I already applaud the effort.
Would this be the "Visual Studio Code" to the SQL Server Management Studio?<p>No mention of CosmosDB (I want some kind of SSMS equivalent for CosmosDB).
how does this compare with datagrip?<p><a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/" rel="nofollow">https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/</a>
An overview would be awesome: <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-operations-studio/what-is" rel="nofollow">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-operations-studio/w...</a>
This looks like SQL Server Management Studio will be deprecated once this project reaches a v1.0. About time too - as SSMS barely supports SQL Azure at all; pretty much all the useful GUI screens are not available.
Finally, DBA's can experience the "wonders" of electron too.<p>When you accidentally select * and get 100,000 items back how does the non-native table view hold up?
