Hey Exasol community! :waving_hand:

We’ve been working on something many of you have asked for: a native Exasol extension for Visual Studio Code. We just launched our first version and we’d love for you to try it out and share your thoughts.

What it supports:

  • Connect to Exasol databases directly from VS Code

  • Browse schemas, tables, and database objects

  • Write and execute SQL queries with syntax highlighting

  • View and export query results

Try it out: Installation requires manual setup from GitHub for now (we’re working on getting it into the VS Code Marketplace): https://github.com/exasol-labs/exasol-vscode

We need your input:

  • What works well? What doesn’t?

  • What features are must-haves for your workflow?

  • Any bugs or rough edges?

Drop your feedback in this thread or open an issue on GitHub. This is a prototype, so your input will directly shape where we take it next.

Thanks for being our beta testers! :rocket:

I never warmed up to the look and feel of most traditional database clients, so having access to the database directly in my IDE is ideal.

Set up is nice and easy, connecting is straight forward. Haven’t had any issues yet.

In my opinion a must try for anyone who needs to work across multiple systems and languages. Copy/pasting UDFs, or dropping a JSON object from the results into a split window for some proper syntax highlighting/quick formatting is just so convenient!
