You will notice that all the database entities are organized in a hierarchy similar to SQL Server Management Studio.In this chapter, we will work with Visual Studio to connect to SQL Databases in Azure. You will see all the databases residing in this server instance added under this Databases node.Įxpand the AdventureWorks (or another database) node. In SQL Server Object Explorer, expand the Databases node under your server instance. In the Connect to Server dialog box, enter the Server name of the server instance you want to connect to, your credentials, and click Connect.

A very common task for database administrators and developers is to connect to a live database, design or browse its schema and query against its objects.
