Sanjay Nagamangalam looks at different tools you can use to connect to SQL Server:
-
New SQL command line tools for Linux: We’ve created Linux-native versions of your favorite SQL command line tools such as sqlcmdand bcp and sqlpackage and also added the new mssql-conf tool that lets you configure various properties for the SQL Server instance on Linux (e.g., SA password, TCP port and collation).
-
New versions of SSMS, SSDT and SQL PowerShell: We have released updated versions (v17.0 RC1) of our flagship SQL Server tools including SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), Visual Studio SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and SQL PowerShell with support for the SQL Server v.Next on Windows and Linux.
They also have a plugin for Visual Studio Code, which can be helpful if you’re running on Linux.
