Couldn't wait to test this (MySQL extension for insider preview) out, but getting this error when I open Azure Data Studio:

[Error - 12:38:28 PM] Starting client failed
Launching server using command /Users/xxxxxxx/.azuredatastudio-insiders/extensions/microsoft.azuredatastudio-mysql-0.2.1/out/ossdbtoolsservice/OSX/v1.6.0-mysql/mysqltoolsservice/ossdbtoolsservice_main failed.

Update:

sudo chmod +x /Users/xxxxxxx/.azuredatastudio-insiders/extensions/microsoft.azuredatastudio-mysql-0.2.1/out/ossdbtoolsservice/OSX/v1.6.0-mysql/mysqltoolsservice/ossdbtoolsservice_main

Turned the file into an executable, but then encountered this:

dyld[54605]: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/xxxxx/.azuredatastudio-insiders/extensions/microsoft.azuredatastudio-mysql-0.2.1/out/ossdbtoolsservice/OSX/v1.6.0-mysql/mysqltoolsservice/ossdbtoolsservice_main

[Error - 12:54:22 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

Which brought me to some dependencies from gettext that seem to be pointed to the wrong folder on my disk:

[Error - 1:05:37 PM] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

Reinstalled gettext, unlinked & relinked file/folder pointers:

  Reason: tried: '/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/usr/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libintl.8.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.21/lib/libintl.8.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/usr/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libintl.8.dylib' (no such file)

And ran into the architecture issue (ARM macbook). Going to try and redo it with the x64 package later.

Haven't had any luck getting a 64bit version of libintl.8.dylib installed on my laptop. I've tried doing a rosetta-emulated install of homebrew (run terminal in rosetta, install homebrew into the /usr/local/homebrew dir, then installing gettext with arch -x86_64 /usr/local/homebrew/bin/brew install gettext) just so i can grab the libintl.8.dylib 64bit file and toss in one of the directories the mysql tool in this extension is looking for, but no luck.

VSCode has been compatible with Apple-M (ARM) chips for quite some time. I'd love to see this come to Azure Data Studio. Can we expect the same for Azure Data Studio? If not a fix for azure data studio running in rosetta is going to require finding a way to get these dylib files to run in rosetta.

Found the vscode guys went through similar growing pains with their MSSQL extension microsoft/vscode-mssql#16967

@rishky-msft please produce the mysql tools service for osx-arm64, I am working on the osx-arm64 version of ADS now. I'll reach out to you when I am ready for an internal testing.

MacBook Pro m1

[rishky-msft]

Hi @chris-larsen,

Can you help me with some more information?
I can see your device is M1 Max.
And the OS you have mentioned is Darwin x64 (i.e., Intel based chipset OS.)

Wanted to confirm: Is your MAC M1 Max using intel x64 or arm64 OS?

[chris-larsen]

@rishky-msft I believe that's the rosetta emulation at work for the azure data studio instance, I pulled that information from azure data studio.

My host OS is actually macOS Montery 12.1, but x86/x64 apps will automatically run in emulation.

Let me know if there's any other info you need.

@chris-larsen @yahorsi

Can you try out this VSIX in latest Azure Data Studio insider and see if this resolves the issues on MAC.
https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio-mysql/releases/download/v0.2.2-alpha.1/azuredatastudio-mysql-0.2.2-alpha-1.vsix

This does not have dependency on installing postgresql@14.
It should work without postgresql installation also.

GOOD GOD IT WORKS!!!!! This is going to change my life. Seriously ADS is my favorite SQL IDE and I get to do everything in one place now, snippets and all the other good stuff.

Seriously hats off that was such a fast turn around and I can only imagine supporting this IDE to run on an array of different platforms and connect to lots of different SQL-server types hasn't been a quickly traveled road. I'm floored seeing a MySQL server in here with all my snippets available, really this is going to change everything for my workflows.

I'm in Seattle, if you're in Redmond I'd love to meet the team behind this some day. Thank you and your team for pushing this, this is massive and I can't wait to share this tool & how I use it with my team.

[rishky-msft]

Thanks @chris-larsen for such appreciating words.
The team is in India.
We would love too meet you someday whenever we visit redmond.

[IRCraziestTaxi]

@rishky-msft It works for me as well! Thanks so much! Finally no more resource-heavy DBeaver!

[alanrenmsft]

@chris-larsen and other folks using Apple Silicon MacBook, now we have azure data studio for Apple Silicon/Universal. please give it a try, please refer to microsoft/azuredatastudio#16125 (comment) for more information.

[rishky-msft]

Fixed with new release of mysql extension. 0.2.2

[alanrenmsft]

@rishky-msft do we have the native osx-arm build?

[rishky-msft]

@alanrenmsft yes we have it
