SQL Cell in Notebook requires a Python kernel

[peter-decide]

I am using VSCode also for Python development.
But when moving from Azure Data Studio to VSCode mssql plugin, I want to use SQL only. No Python involved.

When opening an .ipynb notebook created with Azure data studio,
first annoyance is that I seem to have to connect to the database separately for each notebook cell.

Second, this is a blocker,
I have to select a Python envoronment / existing Jupyter Server.

When no Python is involved, this should not be necessary?
I did not file this as a bug because I don't know if I made a mistake. Please help.

Hi @peter-decide,
The MSSQL extension for VS Code does not support Notebooks. The Polyglot extension provides Notebook support in VS Code — you might want to take a look at it.

Feel free to reach out to the Polyglot extension team via GitHub issues:
