Optional Microsoft SQL Server support for Netezza SQL Tools (justybase).
This extension adds the MSSQL dialect to Netezza SQL Tools (justybase) and integrates with the shared connection UI, schema browser, SQL execution flow, and dialect registry.
Requirements
Install the core extension first: Netezza SQL Tools (justybase)
VS Code Desktop
Network access to your Microsoft SQL Server instance
What This Extension Adds
Microsoft SQL Server connection type in the shared login panel
MSSQL runtime integration via the mssql package
Metadata queries for databases, schemas, tables, views, procedures, functions, and column lookup
MSSQL SQL authoring profile and dialect registration
DDL generation for tables and supporting object types where available
Current Runtime Notes
SQL Server authentication and connection options are provided through the shared connection form.
Schema browsing focuses on user databases and catalog objects that are safe to expose in the explorer.
The optional package exposes DDL and authoring features, but other database-specific workflows remain intentionally conservative.
Installation Order
Marketplace or manual VSIX installation should end with both extensions installed:
Install Netezza SQL Tools (justybase)
Install MSSQL Tools (justybase)
MSSQL Tools (justybase) declares extensionDependencies on the core extension, so VS Code can resolve the dependency automatically in Marketplace scenarios.
Development Notes
From extensions\mssql:
npm install
npm run check-types
npm run build
The extension bundle externalizes mssql, so the package must keep node_modules\mssql available at runtime.
