#ssms — Public Fediverse posts

Back when I was on LinkedIn, there was a member of the SQL tools group that frequently asked for input with regards to new/upcoming features for SQL Server Management Studio.

I had replied once that Microsoft has a terrible history of forcing unwanted features upon us. I literally compared them to a used car salesman.

I was abrasively told that my concerns were unwarranted.

Today, I see a banner ad in SSMS. (This is at least the 2nd time I've encountered an ad.)

"Not Responding".
Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Today I learned the Database Migration Assistant (DMA) tool has been discontinued.

Its functionality has been folded into SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), so it's not lost.

But the tool/feature in SSMS is somewhat different. And so far, it appears rather slow. Perhaps the results are more thorough than the old DMA tool was.

But for now, I wait...

Another day with SQL Server Management Studio.

The last couple of major versions SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) have been very unstable for me. It's pretty crash-tastic, frankly. 🙁

This time on a different way GitHub Copilot in SSMS 22 can help you write code faster.

Headline: Copilot Edited an Ad Into My PR

Me: I saw something like this once with SQL Server Management Studio. I was equally appalled.

#SSMS

Why does #MSSQLServer allow table indexes that have no name? How are they created? What is their use?

#dba #ssms #microsoft

I'm shocked!

SHOCKED, I say!

A Microsoft update changed my existing settings. I prefer the 'Classic Connection Dialog' because...it's what I've used for eleventy billion years. But, no! MS has to fuck up the end user experience for everyone.

Sigh.

#SSMS
#Microsoft

Every time I update a Microsoft tool I depend on (for work), I'm filled with dread wondering what gratuitous horse crap they're going to foist on me.

More Copilot?
Banner Ads for MS services?
Changes to keyboard shortcuts?
New UI where everything is moved around and difficult to find?

It never ends...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ssms/github-copilot/get-started - #SSMS now has #GitHub #Copilot in it. It's really sweet.

I wonder in which version of SQL Server Management Studio #SSMS or #SQL it will be before #Microsoft finally fix the most irritating bug...

"Description: Failed to compiled scripts contained in the package."

Failed to compileD??? Grr!

Microsoft tried to stuff an ad bar into #SSMS, then pushed an update saying you can simply disable it if you don't like it... by editing the registry.

I saw some comments in another posting about this where people were saying "SSMS is free, and Microsoft needs to make money somehow." *facepalm*
