ADS - Add columns in the middle of a table

Hello,

When using ADS table designer to add columns in the middle of the table, the script which is generated contains DDL statements inside a transaction.

Since DDL statements in Synapse are not allowed, has anyone gotten this to work properly? I can remove the begin tran statements manually but there is a lot of them and having to do so is quite annoying.

Looks like this was logged as an issue: https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues/20839

    Hello @GP-2266 ,

    Welcome to the MS Q&A platform.

    Currently, in Synapse, there is no support for DDL such as CREATE TABLE inside a user-defined transaction. But the Product team acknowledged and this is currently on our backlog.

    Here is the feedback request.
