The MSSQL extension for Visual Studio Code now introduces GitHub Copilot integration in Schema Designer, expanding the visual schema design experience with AI-assisted capabilities. Based on developer feedback and evolving workflows, you can now understand, design, and modify database schemas using natural language.
You can describe the tables or changes you want, and GitHub Copilot plans and generates proposed updates inside Schema Designer. Each schema change is previewed visually, color-coded, and tracked in a dedicated Change Tracking panel with familiar source control-style labels such as Add (A), Modify (M), and Delete (D). You can clearly differentiate between your own edits and AI-generated suggestions, inspect detailed modifications, and review changes before they are applied. With built-in review workflows and clear visual diffs, you stay in control while iterating safely with undo and redo support.
Whether you’re starting a new project or updating an existing one, this guided experience helps you move confidently from an idea to a validated data model. From there, you can continue into the new Data API Builder public preview in the MSSQL extension, where GitHub Copilot plans and generates back-end endpoints from your schema. Together, these experiences give you an end-to-end path from database design to a working back end in minutes so you can build modern, AI-ready, secure applications faster without switching tools or losing control.
