Public API to interact from other extensions

[m4ss1m0g]

I’d love it if the mssql extension offered a dedicated API for seamless inter-extension communication so that other extensions can easily access its connection data .

It could simplify building features that depend on the current connection context and make for a much smoother experience in VS Code .

Having a standardized protocol for this kind of integration would help create a more cohesive ecosystem of SQL tools .

We’re currently working on exposing connectivity APIs that external extensions can use to access connection context, create new connections, and execute queries. Additional capabilities like scripting objects and retrieving server details are also included.
Over the next few releases, we plan to standardize some experiences across other first-party Microsoft database extensions as well.
If there’s any additional functionality you’d like to see exposed, please feel free to file an issue. Thanks!
