## What it is
SQLTools is a set of VS Code extensions providing database management inside the editor. It connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle and more via a pluggable driver architecture, with a query runner, connection explorer, SQL formatter, and query history.

## Use cases
- run sql queries from vscode
- connect to postgres from my editor
- format and beautify sql code
- browse database tables and schemas in vscode
- keep a history of executed sql queries
- generate insert statements from table data
- manage mysql and sql server connections in one place

## When to choose
- you want to query and explore databases without leaving VS Code
- you work with multiple database engines and want one consistent interface
- you need lightweight SQL tooling with a pluggable driver system

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone database IDE with advanced admin features
- you use a database without an available SQLTools driver
- you prefer GUI database clients outside the editor
