SSMS | Database compatibility level upgrade – Added a new option under -> Tasks -> Database Upgrade.

Added showplan support to LocalCube RelOp for DW ROLLUP and CUBE.

Added new showplan attribute BatchModeOnRowStoreUsed to easily identify queries that are using the batch-mode scan on rowstores Anytime a query performs batch-mode scan on rowstores, a new attribute (BatchModeOnRowStoreUsed=”true”) gets added to StmtSimple element.

Added logic to display the Materializer Operator (External Select).

This will make the actual plan look consistent with the Live Query Stats plan.

Added actual time elapsed, actual vs estimated rows under ShowPlan operator node if they are available.

Added new menu items for “CREATE OR ALTER” when scripting objects.

We have integrated Database Migration Assistant and Azure Database Migration Service to provide quick and easy access to help accelerate your migrations to Azure.

Added Migrate to Azure option under Tools menu.

Exposed maximum size for error log files under Configure SQL Server Error Logs.

Exposed the “backup checksum default” server configuration in the new Database settings page of the Server Properties Dialog.

Improved support for multi-monitor systems by making sure that dialogs and windows pop up on the expected monitor.

New Firewall Rule dialog now allows the user to specify a rule name, instead of automatically generating one on behalf of the user.

Users can still enable/disable these via sp_configure.

Removed “lightweight pooling” and “priority boost” options from SSMS GUI.

Exposed AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES config option for filegroups in SSMS.

Right click database to launch a new query or new notebook in Azure Data Studio.

Launch Azure Data Studio from Tools, or Object Explorer.

SSMS users can simply right click on a database > Azure Data Studio > New Notebook. For example, Notebooks is a super cool feature built into ADS. Each tool has different experiences built into it and can be launched from the other seamlessly.

SSMS/Azure Data Studio integration – I’ll write a separate blog post on our SSMS + Azure Data Studio (ADS) story, but in a nutshell, think of these two tools not as separate tools doing different things, but as one integrated tool.

Support for Data classification “read-write” permissions.

Exposed new properties on configuration/server/database objects.

Extend SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) support for resumable index creation.

SLO/Edition/MaxSize database properties now accept custom names, making it easier to support future editions of Azure SQL Databases.

Support for SQL 2019 – This is the first release of SSMS that will be fully aware of SQL Server 2019 (compatibility level 150).

#Visual studio for mac 2018 driver

SSMS ships with MS Object Linking and Embedding Database (OLEDB) driver.

SSMS allows installing in a language other than the OS – You can now, for example, install SSMS German on a French Windows (Note: if the OS language does not match the SSMS language, the user needs to change the language under Tools | Options | International Settings).

With SSMS 18, you can install SSMS in any folder and the option is available from both command line and the setup UI.

SSMS can be installed in a custom folder – This has been a long standing request.

Updated Visual Studio 2017 isolated shell – We picked up the latest shell from Visual Studio (VS) that unlocks all the accessibility fixes that end in both SSMS and VS as well as the latest security fixes that went into VS.

You can also refer to the full SQL Server Management Studio 18 Release Notes for all details. For the sake of completeness, as well as to recognize all the fantastic work the SSMS team has done, I’d like to highlight all the cool stuff we’ve brought to you across all the preview releases including the incremental work between Preview 7 and GA. Some of you may have been following the journey, and some not. We will continue to bring cool features into both SQL Server Management Studio as well as Azure Data Studio as it makes sense. Ideally, we want to ship a product that’s better than the version its replacing. We were very close to getting the release out multiple times, until some ship blocker showed up at the last minute and we had to bail. You can download SQL Server Management Studio 18 today.

among many others, and after 5 previews, I am very excited to share that SSMS 18 is now generally available. 6 months later, having passed several internal checks such as accessibility, privacy, security, compliance, etc. I expected a fair amount of work but didn’t realize how complicated the process would be. When I joined the SQL Tools team as a PM back in October 2018, my top priority was to release SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 18.
