Choose your local, network, or Azure SQL server, select a database, provide credentials, and choose Connect. To access the connect dialog from SQL Server Object Explorer, click the toolbar button Add SQL Server. The experience might be easier if you use SQL Server Object Explorer, which gives you a dialog that provides more help in finding available databases locally, on the local network, and in your Azure subscriptions, and provides a history of recently used choices.

If you're using a third-party data provider, we recommend connecting with your vendor to see if they offer a 64-bit provider before converting the project to 64-bit.

#VISUAL STUDIO COMMUNITY 2017 MAC SERVER EXPLORER DRIVER#

Please see OLE DB Provider for Jet and ODBC driver are 32-bit versions only for more information. If your application uses Microsoft Access databases, and can convert the project to 64-bit, it’s recommended that you use the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine, also called Access Connectivity Engine (ACE).

#VISUAL STUDIO COMMUNITY 2017 MAC SERVER EXPLORER UPDATE#

If you plan on converting the project to be a 64-bit process you will need to update the OLEDB and ODBC data connections to use 64-bit data providers. The last version of Visual Studio that was a 32-bit process was Visual Studio 2019. However, if you need to use any of the Visual Studio Data Tools such as Server Explorer, Data Source Wizard, or the DataSet Designer, you will need to use an earlier version of Visual Studio that is still a 32-bit process. If you need to maintain 32-bit applications that connect to OLEDB or ODBC, you will still be able to build and run the application with Visual Studio 2022. This includes the Microsoft Access 32-bit OLEDB data provider as well as other third-party 32-bit providers. This means some of the data tools in Visual Studio will not be able to connect to OLEDB or ODBC databases using 32-bit data providers. If you're using Visual Studio 2022 to connect to OLEDB or ODBC data providers, you will need to be aware that Visual Studio 2022 is now a 64-bit process.

From here, you can also connect to a database on another server, a SharePoint service, or an Azure service. To create a connection to the database, click the Add Connection icon in Server Explorer, or right-click in Server Explorer on the Data Connections node and select Add Connection.

#VISUAL STUDIO COMMUNITY 2017 MAC SERVER EXPLORER WINDOWS#

The functionality of these windows overlaps to some extent. You can test your connection to a database or service, and explore database contents and schemas, by using Server Explorer or SQL Server Object Explorer. SQL databases that have no ADO.NET provider installed won't show up here, but you can still connect to them programmatically. Use SQL Server Object Explorer to view SQL databases (if they have an ADO.NET provider), create new databases, modify schemas, create stored procedures, retrieve connection strings, view the data, and more. If you don't see it there, go to Programs and Features in Control Panel, find Visual Studio, and then select Change to re-run the installer after selecting the check box for SQL Server Data Tools.

Installed with SQL Server Data Tools and visible under the View menu. Provides specialized functionality for exploring and connecting to Azure services.

#VISUAL STUDIO COMMUNITY 2017 MAC SERVER EXPLORER INSTALL#

Install this window manually as a Visual Studio extension from Visual Studio Marketplace. If a data source has no ADO.NET provider, it won't show up here, but you can still use it from Visual Studio by connecting programmatically.

Also shows low-level objects such as system performance counters, event logs, and message queues. Can be used to test connections and view SQL Server databases, any other databases that have an ADO.NET provider installed, and some Azure services. You can test your connection to a database or service, and explore database contents and schemas, by using Server Explorer, Cloud Explorer, or SQL Server Object Explorer.
