Description
Container image tag
sqldbpreview-dpgaeqhmgphzd4bk.azurecr.io/azure-sql/db-dev:latest
Host OS
Windows 11 (x86_64)
Container runtime and version
Docker Desktop v4.80.0
What happened
Created a user DB called 'Greetings'. Connected via VSCode mssql extension. Greetings DB doesn't show up in the object explorer. Queries to the DB work via USE Greetings though. No errors are shown.
Only the master DB system database is shown. I suppose that is by design given this is a SQL DB dev container, but we should call that out in the known limitations so that people know that is expected and why.
Steps to reproduce
Run container, connect via sqlcmd to create a DB.
Connect via MSSQL VSCode extension.
Additional context
mssql extension version: 1.43.0
VSCode version: 1.127.0
