  Visual Studio Code and sql server

  Apr 11, 2017 08:49 AM|dow7|LINK

  I have installed visual studio code, mssql extension on a new machine. Do i have to install also sql server to use mssql extension? What database name should i use to connect?

  i followed all the steps described here:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-develop-use-vscode

  but i get an error:

  mssql: Error 2: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

  Yes. You need to install SQL Server if you want to use SQL Server. The extension facilitates communication with SQL server without having to leave Visual Studio Code. It is not a replacement for SQL Server.
