Public Preview: Azure SQL updates for mid-July 2026

In mid-July 2026, the following updates and enhancements were made to Azure SQL:

• Shortcut Configuration lets you customize keyboard shortcuts for Quick Queries, the Results Grid, and the Query Editor directly within Visual Studio Code—without leaving your editor. You can execute queries, navigate more efficiently, and discover available commands more easily, helping you complete your data tasks faster.
• The new Results Grid introduces enhanced state management for improved performance and responsiveness, along with expanded column customization options. You can now freeze, hide, and show columns to better tailor the grid to your workflow. Try it now—enable the Beta Results Grid preview in MSSQL Settings.
