Description
NPS feedback ahead of GA surfaced several quality and performance issues with SQL Notebooks that need to be addressed before release.
Issues reported from NPS:
- Runtime instability: Kernel intermittently switches from MSSQL to Python, and results don't always render correctly.
- Unclear connection state: Noticeable lag when connecting via notebook with no clear indicator of connection status (standard queries are fine).
- Errors not surfaced: Failed queries in notebooks don't show error messages.
- Weak IntelliSense: Completions/suggestions in notebook cells are not helpful.
Proposed fixes:
- Kernel stays on MSSQL and does not switch unexpectedly
- Results render reliably across cells
- Clear connection state indicator; notebook connection latency on par with standard editor
- Query errors surfaced in cell output
- IntelliSense reaches parity with the standard SQL editor
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the MSSQL extension
- Connect to a database
- Create a new SQL Notebook
