Get Started with PostgreSQL in VS Code | Connect, Explore & Build
The Visual Studio Code team presents a practical starting point for working with PostgreSQL inside the editor, from installing Microsoft’s extension to browsing database objects.
Working with PostgreSQL in VS Code
This episode of PostgreSQL Like a Pro: VS Code Edition covers the core setup and exploration workflow:
- Install Microsoft’s PostgreSQL extension for VS Code to bring PostgreSQL tooling into the editor.
- Connect to a PostgreSQL database on Azure using Microsoft Entra ID for authentication.
- Save connection profiles for reuse.
- Explore database objects, including schemas, tables, views, functions, sequences, and extensions, without leaving VS Code.
The workflow is aimed at developers building a new PostgreSQL application or reducing context switching while working with an existing database.
