Visual Studio 2019 is a massive step forward in the developer spectrum. Not only has it shifted a lot of boundaries, but it has also made it easier to extend its interface. In this article you will see tools – rather, extensions or add-ons - that can be added to the Visual Studio 2019 IDE to improve your database experience irrespective of what database it is. You should find these quite tools useful.
MySQL Editor for Visual Studio
Being a part time programming teacher, I always try to have good samples for students. Unfortunately, I am quite forgetful, so there are many times when I quickly need to edit a MySQL query. This is where the My SQL Editor for Visual Studio is a handy little extension. As its name implies, it is a MySQL editor, complete with the necessary coloring of keywords. This editor is not stand-alone; it is part of Visual Studio (as it is an extension).
You can run and edit queries to selected databases. This is quite handy if you do not have MySQL installed somewhere, but still need to work. You can download the MySQL Editor for Visual Studio here. After it has been downloaded, you can double click the VSIX file to install the extension.

After the installation is completed, you can ensure that it is installed by clicking Tools, Extensions and Updates. It should resemble Figure 1

In order to make use of this extension, you obviously need MySQL code. If you do not have MySQL code already, then you can navigate to this sample website and download the sample database
Save this file with a .mysql extension.

In your Solution Explorer, Right click and add the MySQL file. Once opened, the screen would resemble Figure 2

Database .NET
Database .NET is very powerful multiple database management tool. It includes support for the following databases or database objects:
- Access
- Excel
- DBase
- FoxPro
- Access
- Excel
- DBase
- FoxPro
- FireBird
- MySQL
- SQL Server
- SQL Azure
- SQLCE
- SQLite
- PostGreSQL
- Oracle
- OLE DB
- ODBC
- OData
- DB2
- Informix
- Sybase ASE
- NuoDB
- Teradata
- Vertica
- Text
Database .NET is an external tool, so it doesn't run in the Visual Studio IDE. With it you can design tables, run queries, edit rows and generate scripts. You can download it here.
It is a stand-alone exe, so after you have unzipped the file, you can directly run the program. It resembles Figure 3 underneath.

SQLite for Windows Runtime
SQLite implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, T-SQL database engine. It also can be downloaded from the Visual Studio Marketplace. Once downloaded, run the VSIX file. This will resemble Figure 4

Conclusion
These are just some of the wonderful database tools available to you for use with Visual Studio 2019. There are many more that might be presented in a future DatabaseJournal article.

Lansweeper data, reports and settings are stored in a database. Your database is hosted in either the Microsoft SQL LocalDB, Microsoft SQL Server or (deprecated) Microsoft SQL Compact database server. Though Lansweeper has a built-in report builder and a built-in tool for running database scripts, you may at some point want to connect to your database using an external tool. To connect to SQL LocalDB and SQL Server databases, Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio can be used. To connect to a SQL Compact database, SQL Compact Toolbox can be used.
This article explains how to view the raw data in your SQL Compact database using SQL Compact Toolbox. If you are unsure which database server you are using, you can verify using the ConfigEditor tool or in the Lansweeper web console.
Using SQL Compact Toolbox is not necessary if your goal is simply to run a report or database script.
• Reports can be run in the Lansweeper web console under ReportsCreate New Report.
• Scripts can be run in the following tool on your Lansweeper server, though you should generally only run scripts if requested by the Lansweeper support team: Program Files (x86)LansweeperToolsDatabaseMaintenance.exe.
• Reports can be run in the Lansweeper web console under ReportsCreate New Report.
• Scripts can be run in the following tool on your Lansweeper server, though you should generally only run scripts if requested by the Lansweeper support team: Program Files (x86)LansweeperToolsDatabaseMaintenance.exe.
Keep in mind that, from March 2020 onward, SQL Compact is no longer a supported database server for hosting Lansweeper. We recommend migrating SQL Compact databases to SQL LocalDB or SQL Server.
To connect to a SQL Compact database using SQL Compact Toolbox, do the following:
- Download SQL Compact 4.0 SP1 throughthis download linkand install it on your Lansweeper server.Don't skip this step! SQL Compact must be installed as a separate software on your Lansweeper server in order to connect to your database with the SQL Compact Toolbox later on.
- Download the Standalone 4.0 daily build of SQL Compact Toolbox throughthis download link and unzip the file.SQL Compact Toolbox is a third-party tool. The Lansweeper support team cannot troubleshoot potential issues with this tool.
- Run the Toolbox executable as an administrator on your Lansweeper server.
- Right-click No SQL Server Compact Data Connections found and choose Add SQL Server Compact 4.0 Connection...
- Hit the Browse... button in the resulting popup and select your Lansweeper database file. The default path of the file is:Program Files (x86)LansweeperSQLDatalansweeperdb.sdf
- Hit the Close button at the bottom of the popup window.
- Expand the Lansweeper database so you can view and query database tables.Do not make changes to data unless you have a deep understanding of the Lansweeper database structure and SQL in general! Manual data changes are likely to break your Lansweeper installation. If you do decide to make changes or run a script, back up your database first.
