I used Toad for SQL for a long while and liked that it has a feature to configure file name. I mostly used .csv format and Toad by default appended current timestamp to the end of the file. Doing that way each file became unique and convenient to store. My question: does ADS have similar option to make file name unique? Thanks

Hello @Susja ! Unfortunately there is no such capability in Azure Data Studio You can achieve Timestamping the files with other methods like Powershell but to answer your question , no Data Studio does not seem to support that I have searched the Extensions also but nothing Submit feature requests here : https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/issues I hope this helps! Kindly mark the answer as Accepted and Upvote in case it helped! Regards

@Konstantinos Passadis

Well ... I continue to bring and compare some advantages that I found in Toad and noticed that I used a lot the option in Toad when user could highlight a block of code and select 'Comment' or 'Uncomment' respectfully.

I used it quite often and found quit convenient

Do we have something similar in ADS?

Thanks

Hello @Susja !

I am glad i could be of help!

I like the Extensions ! We can do a lot of things using an extension for example integrate machine learning ,Migration Assessment for Oracle , and a lot of cool things that are expanding and new ones are deployed !
