Feature Request/Idea: Allow Changing Connections in SQL Notebooks Either Via the API, Feature, or Both:
Hello! I’ve been working on an extension for Azure Data Studio that allows users to specify connections for code cells in SQL notebooks. The goal is to enable querying multiple databases within a single notebook. I’ve made significant progress, but there’s one crucial piece missing.
I’ve noticed that while you can change the kernel, there’s currently no direct way to switch the connection within the same notebook. Currently, I map code cells to connections based on user selections in a wizard. However, without the ability to change the connection dynamically, the solution won’t be complete.
I’m wondering if we’re allowed to contribute to the API for this functionality. After posting this, I’ll look into the guidelines. If everything aligns, I’d be more than happy to take a stab at contributing this as a full feature for ADS as well. Thank you for your time and consideration!
