Azure Data Studio

Nice Pick

Developers should use Azure Data Studio when they need a lightweight, extensible tool for database development, administration, and querying across multiple platforms

Pros

  • +It's particularly valuable for SQL Server and Azure SQL work, offering features like notebooks for combining code and documentation, and built-in charting for query results
  • +Related to: sql-server, azure-sql-database

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

DBeaver

Developers should use DBeaver when they need a single, unified tool to work with multiple database types, especially in environments with heterogeneous database systems

Pros

  • +It is ideal for tasks such as writing and debugging SQL queries, exploring database schemas, and performing data migrations across different platforms, saving time compared to using separate native tools for each database
  • +Related to: sql, database-management

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Azure Data Studio if: You want it's particularly valuable for sql server and azure sql work, offering features like notebooks for combining code and documentation, and built-in charting for query results and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use DBeaver if: You prioritize it is ideal for tasks such as writing and debugging sql queries, exploring database schemas, and performing data migrations across different platforms, saving time compared to using separate native tools for each database over what Azure Data Studio offers.
