If you know that most of time when you connect database server, you use a specific database then you can set that database in Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) as a default database for a specific database server. If you don’t see it, you probably need to refresh it.Really this is very annoying and time wasting task to change the database the one you want to work.

Now that you’ve run your query, you should be able to see the database in the left pane. Click the Run button at the top of the query editor.GenreId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,ĪlbumId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,ĬONSTRAINT FK_Albums_Artists FOREIGN KEY (ArtistId) Here’s the script that I used for this example:ĪrtistId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,

Another option is to open a previously saved query by going to the File > Open menu option. You can either type it all out, or copy and paste it. So, now that you’ve opened a new query editor, you can go ahead and enter your CREATE DATABASE statement. Use a keyboard shortcut (on Windows this is Ctrl+N.Click on the New Query button on the Server Dashboard.Right-click on the server name in the left pane, then click on the New Query option from the contextual menu (pictured below).In Azure Data Studio, there are several ways to open a new query editor. To create a database in Azure Data Studio, you simply open a new query editor and run a CREATE DATABASE query. The Azure Data Studio installation is pretty straightforward (you install it just like any other software), so if you’re on Linux or Windows, you shouldn’t have any issues. If you don’t have Azure Data Studio installed on your machine, here are instructions for installing it on a Mac and connecting to SQL Server via Docker. This tutorial assumes you already have Azure Data Studio installed on your machine, and you’ve connected to your SQL Server instance. In my case, I’m running SQL Server on a Mac (via a Docker container), but these instructions are generic and should work exactly the same way on Linux and Windows. Here, I explain how to use Azure Data Studio (formerly SQL Operations Studio) to create a database in SQL Server.
