Feature Description
Add a “📊 Visualize as Chart” button to the query result pane, similar to Azure Data Studio. This button should allow users to select columns for X and Y axes and generate simple charts (bar, line, pie) from query results directly within Visual Studio Code.
Problem and Motivation
Azure Data Studio allowed quick chart creation from SQL query results, making it easy to spot trends or visualize data without switching tools. With ADS being deprecated in February 2026, this feature is essential to bring functional parity to the MSSQL extension for VS Code. It improves user experience, reduces context switching, and helps DBAs and analysts work more efficiently in a lightweight editor.
