I have MS SQL Management Studio for editing table data, and it is doesn't have a good usability. I need to edit some hundred rows like in Excel, being able to order columns to easy editing process (SQL Mgmt only has 'Open table' feature, without ordering columns, updates diferent than that is only possible using UPDATE SQL code). The SQL editor is a graphical Java program which allows you to connect to JDBC compliant databases. Some new enhancements for its latest release includes using RText as the default editor instead of the classic Netbeans editor, new plugin for Netezza database and more.

Installation
- Download Visual Studio Code for macOS.

- Drag
Visual Studio Code.app
to theApplications
folder, making it available in theLaunchpad
. - Add VS Code to your Dock by right-clicking on the icon to bring up the context menu and choosing Options, Keep in Dock.
Launching from the command line
You can also run VS Code from the terminal by typing 'code' after adding it to the path:
- Launch VS Code.
- Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+P)) and type 'shell command' to find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.
- Restart the terminal for the new
$PATH
value to take effect. You'll be able to type 'code .' in any folder to start editing files in that folder.
Note: If you still have the old
code
alias in your .bash_profile
(or equivalent) from an early VS Code version, remove it and replace it by executing the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.To manually add VS Code to your path, you can run the following commands:
Start a new terminal to pick up your
.bash_profile
changes.Note: The leading slash
is required to prevent $PATH
from expanding during the concatenation. Remove the leading slash if you want to run the export command directly in a terminal.Touch Bar support

Mojave privacy protections
After upgrading to macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave and is not specific to VS Code. The same dialogs may be displayed when running other applications as well. The dialog is shown once for each type of personal data and it is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders. You can read a more detailed explanation in this blog post.
Updates
VS Code ships monthly releases and supports auto-update when a new release is available. If you're prompted by VS Code, accept the newest update and it will get installed (you won't need to do anything else to get the latest bits). Best editor for programming mac.
Note: You can disable auto-update if you prefer to update VS Code on your own schedule.
Preferences menu
You can configure VS Code through settings, color themes, and custom keybindings and you will often see mention of the File > Preferences menu group. On a macOS, the Preferences menu group is under Code, not File.

Common questions
Why do I see 'Visual Studio Code would like access to your calendar.'
If you are running macOS Mojave version, you may see dialogs saying 'Visual Studio Code would like to access your {calendar/contacts/photos}.' This is due to the new privacy protections in Mojave discussed above. It is fine to choose Don't Allow since VS Code does not need access to those folders.
