Azure Data Studio – Multiple Repos and Explorer

If you read my T-SQL Tuesday post from this month, I mentioned that I’ve been using Azure Data Studio on daily basis. One of the things that I find I use it for the most is for Source Control with Git. I’m incredibly surprised by this. Maybe it comes from years of using Management Studio and not being able to check in code from the tool that I’m using to write it. (Or maybe I’ve been able to do that all this time and no one told me…?)

As I’m using it, I found two things that have helped me out. So naturally, I thought I’d share.

T-SQL Tuesday #137 – Using Notebooks Every Day

Happy T-SQL Tuesday! Thanks to Steve Jones (t|b) for hosting this month. (And thanks for all you do for coordinating the T-SQL Tuesdays!) If you’re interested, you can read the whole invite here.

Our challenge this month is:

“For this month’s T-SQL Tuesday, I want you to write about how you have used, or would like to use, a Jupyter notebook.”

I love the potential I see with notebooks. I love the blend of documentation and code. I love the fact that you can save the results with the query so you can easily capture the before/after results and see them in the same document. When I can use notebooks for a blog post or a presentation, I do it because I like what I see so far.
