Microsoft have released another IDE with notebook support called Azure Data Studio. It uses the same underlying code base as VS Code but is targeted at data driven tasks such as connecting to databases.
Strangely, it uses a different jupyter notebook implementation to VS Code. I found it avoids some of the annoying bugs mentioned in another comment.
It also introduces a SQL kernel which I’ve found useful for organising my queries.
- wayneftw 7y ago> SQL kernel I've never heard this term before and a brief search for it did not bear any definitions. Can you expand on what exactly makes an SQL kernel?
- sachdevap 7y agoNot GP, but I think they are referring to https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels
- mweatherill 7y agoWhilst jupyter notebooks are often synonymous with python code, the languages are actually pluggable by using a different kernel. Microsoft have implemented an SQL kernel which means you can write SQL queries directly in a notebook.
- greazer 7y agoAzure Data Studio is a proper fork of VS Code all up. This is why it was able to work around some of the limitations the Python extension is currently dealing with.
