v1.0.0

Build and manage Azure SQL Database applications in Visual Studio Code with the MSSQL extension, including connections, schema and ORM workflows, deployment, diagnostics, security, data movement, recovery, T-SQL, vector search, and database projects. Data API Builder guidance is excluded where it would duplicate tools provided by the extension.

connect-from-dotnet

Connects a .NET application to Azure SQL Database with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient: which package references are required, the encryption defaults and what changed, connection pooling and the keys that split a pool, and managed identity or other Microsoft Entra ID modes. Use when a user says "connect .NET to Azure SQL", "Microsoft.Data.SqlClient", "SqlConnection", "passwordless access for my .NET app", "managed identity for my API", "Active Directory Default", "Max Pool Size", "Encrypt=Strict", or asks whether "Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.Extensions.Azure" is needed. Also use when an app authenticates with a password locally and must use an identity in Azure. Covers packages, connection string keywords, pooling and Entra ID for .NET only; the ORM path is ef-core-azure-sql, and encryption doctrine plus transient-fault retry belong to connect-to-azure-sql.
