We’re excited to share our new Visual Studio Code extension: SqlLens SQL Server Tools.
This extension brings the core SqlLens workflow into VS Code so SQL Server developers can analyze dependencies, explore database objects, and move faster without leaving their editor.
Why we built it
When working across large SQL Server environments, it’s easy to lose time jumping between scripts, object explorers, and documentation. We wanted a streamlined workflow that helps you:
- Understand object dependencies quickly
- Explore SQL Server structures with less friction
- Improve script review and troubleshooting speed
What it does
SqlLens SQL Server Tools currently focuses on practical day-to-day database productivity:
- SQL object dependency analysis
- SQL Server explorer workflows
- Integration points for Git-based database comparison scenarios
- Foundation for expanded AI-assisted workflows in future updates
Built for SQL Server teams
This extension is designed for teams working in real SQL Server environments where understanding impact before changes is critical. Whether you’re updating stored procedures, views, or table-related logic, dependency visibility helps reduce surprises.
What’s next
We’re continuing to expand SqlLens with additional AI-assisted review and optimization capabilities, tighter workflow integrations, and broader tooling across our SQL ecosystem.
