Azure Data Studio is retiring on February 28th. Microsoft is transitioning SQL developers to the MSSQL extension in VS Code, which now includes key features from Azure Data Studio like connection migration tools, database backup/restore, SQL profiler, and schema management. The extension offers a centralized changelog, GitHub Copilot integration, and a public roadmap for upcoming features. Users can easily migrate their Azure Data Studio connections, settings, and connection groups through an automated import tool.
