Since the release of SQL Server 2017 on Linux and macOS (Docker), the need for cross platform tooling has increased. In this session, you will learn about the improvements to the open source cross-platform SQL Server Tooling.

We will dive deep into an interactive tool for SQL Server which enhances the T-SQL experience in command line with superior intellisense and special command features. Next we will explore an extension to develop your SQL Server inside the most popular development environment as per the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2018. If that is not enough, we will also look at the next generation lightweight customizable development environment for SQL development.

Come join me in this demo intensive session as we get started learning more about mssql-cli, mssql-scripter, mssql extension for Visual Studio Code and SQL Operations Studio. You will walk out of this session with better insights and hands-on knowledge of the various cross-platform open source SQL Server tools.
