About

Azure Data Studio is a cross-platform database tool for data professionals who use on-premises and cloud data platforms on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Azure Data Studio offers a modern editor experience with IntelliSense, code snippets, source control integration, and an integrated terminal. It's engineered with the data platform user in mind, with the built-in charting of query result sets and customizable dashboards. Use Azure Data Studio to query, design, and manage your databases and data warehouses wherever they are, on your local computer or in the cloud. We recommend the user installer, which simplifies installations and updates and doesn't require Administrator privileges.

About

QStudio is a free, modern SQL editor supporting over 30 databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and DuckDB. It offers features such as server browsing for easy viewing of tables, variables, functions, and configuration settings; SQL syntax highlighting; code completion; the ability to query servers directly from the editor; and built-in charts for data visualization. QStudio runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, providing particularly good support for kdb+, Parquet, PRQL, and DuckDB. Additional functionalities include data pivoting similar to Excel, exporting data to Excel or CSV, and AI-powered tools like Text2SQL for generating queries from plain English, Explain-My-Query for code walkthroughs, and Explain-My-Error for debugging assistance. Simply send the query you want and select the chart type to draw a chart. Send queries straight from within the editor to any of your servers. All data structures are handled perfectly.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Auto Save - Reliable in launching all of the ADS Windows/Instances and Sessions/Query Tabs when ADS crashes or closes unexpectedly (although, ADS is very stable and I have not had any issues with crashes or unexpected close) CONNECTIONS (side panel) - Lists all Connections and easily accessible with a single Mouse Click NOTEBOOKS (side panel) - Run and Retain Queries and Results in an easy-to-read Notebook perfect for change comparisons DATABASE PROJECTS (side panel) - Create new or manage existing Projects EXPLORER (side panel) - View and Manage OPEN EDITORS, OPEN FOLDERS, OUTLINE, TIMELINE regardless if these objects are Saved or Unsaved SEARCH (side panel) - Easily Search and Replace text in Databases, Tables, Queries, Results, JavaScript, Powershell, Commands, etc... SOURCE CONTROL (side panel) - Track code changes EXTENSIONS (side panel) - Easily Install and Manage Extensions for a fully integrated experience (however, with all of the built in features, Extensions are not really needed) Additional Pros: Fully integrated with other applications. Opens and Saves SSMS Files (.sql, .ssmssln, and .ssmssqlproj) in their native format. Retains Recovery Files in this location \\AppData\Roaming\azuredatastudio\Backups Easy to Navigate UI Open Source - Free to use and installed alongside Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (this makes it accessible for organization software restrictions) VS Code requires licenses and is not accessible within organizations that have software restrictions

Cons

  • I don't like that it's being retired in February 2026. I highly recommend searching for forums that are requesting Microsoft to keep ADS if you use it and are worried about losing all of your work.
