I’m also available for consulting if you just don’t have time for that and need to solve performance problems quickly. I’m offering a 75% discount on to my blog readers if you click from here. If this is the kind of SQL Server stuff you love learning about, you’ll love my training. That seems an odd choice, especially given the lack of reciprocal bundling.

#AZURE DATA STUDIO UPDATE#

That leaves most people juggling two installers anyway, or only updating ADS when they update SSMS. On top of that, ADS is updated monthly, and SSMS has a less frequent release cadence. Even with an automated deployment, it requires an installation and then multiple uninstaller runs. Particularly for admins putting SSMS on their SQL Server for whom additional unknown dependencies might not be tolerable to security teams, not having to remember to uninstall additional items every time they update SSMS would be helpful.

#AZURE DATA STUDIO INSTALL#

I’d like a way to make the install optional for people who don’t need any ADS functionality. ADS is still available as a standalone install, though. Starting with SSMS 18.7, Azure Data Studio is being automatically installed alongside SSMS with no option to not install it. Make ADS An Optional Install Alongside SSMS I think it fits well into very specific workflows, just not enough to force everyone who needs SSMS to also install it.

But bundling them together is sort of like selling someone a six pack of beer, where three of them are non-alcoholic. There’s totally part of the crowd that might need both. Likewise, it doesn’t make sense to switch between ADS and SSMS if you don’t use any of the SSMS-specific functionality. If you’re working with query plans in depth, AGs, Query Store, or about a dozen other tasks that are more DBA-focused, you still have to use SSMS, and it doesn’t make much sense to switch back and forth unless you specifically need something only ADS does. Go get it! After all, it’s still a standalone download, too ? If you need to work cross-platform, deal with source code, big data clusters, or more developer-related tasks, ADS is for you. If you pair that up with the features that are available in each tool, you can see where each one pretty neatly fits into different roles and the way they’d work. O has a great slide about the different kinds of DBAs you might meet in the world. If you look at the feature comparison sheet for ADS and SSMS, you can see what I mean. The thing is, they’re tools for totally different people. I’ve opened a UserVoice item to let ADS be an optional install, rather than forced. But at least Oracle has the decency to ask first. Sort of like whenever you go to update Java and it wants to install three toolbars and something to clean out your internet cache. Right now, there’s a short list, but that might change so I’m not going to get into it. SSMS 18.7 was released, with an announcement that whenever you install SSMS from here on out, you’d also be installing Azure Data Studio, along with whatever dependencies exist in there. SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe /Passive DoNotInstallAzureDataStudio=1 Odd Couple Starting with SSMS 18.8 officially, but available in SSMS 18.7 as well, if you install via command line, you can use the following switch to avoid installing Azure Data Studio (ADS).
