Description

Please add Azure SQL provisioning support to the Azure VS Code extension to improve developer productivity and ensure feature parity with other Azure database services.

Problem Statement

The Azure VS Code extension does not provide an option to create or provision Azure SQL resources, despite offering creation workflows for other database services.

This is a notable gap in the developer experience and limits Azure SQL adoption through IDE workflows.

Observed Behavior

When using Create Resource or Add Database Server flows in VS Code, available options include:

  • Cosmos DB for NoSQL
  • Cosmos DB for MongoDB (vCore)
  • PostgreSQL Single Server
  • PostgreSQL Flexible Server

Azure SQL options are missing, including:

  • Azure SQL Server
  • Azure SQL Database
  • Hyperscale
  • Dedicated SQL Pool

Expected Behavior

Azure SQL should be offered as a first-class option when provisioning databases from VS Code, including:

  • Create Azure SQL Server
  • Create Azure SQL Database
  • Select pricing tiers (Basic, General Purpose, Hyperscale)
  • Configure authentication (Azure AD, SQL Authentication)
  • Configure networking and security options

Impact

  • Developers cannot provision Azure SQL from VS Code
  • Users are redirected to Azure Portal for SQL workloads
  • Inconsistent experience compared to PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB
  • Reduced likelihood of Azure SQL being chosen for new projects

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named, so begin by locating the existing Create Resource and Add Database Server flows for PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB. Done would require Azure SQL Server and Database provisioning in VS Code, including the listed pricing, authentication, networking, and security options.
