How to Locate SQL Server Agent Jobs in Azure Data Studio
I wrote this post, because it may not be immediately apparent how to find the SQL Server Agent jobs in Azure Data Studio once you’ve installed the SQL Server Agent Extension.
In SSMS, the SQL Server Agent can be hard to miss, but in Azure Data Studio, it can be hard to find!
Or perhaps you’re not even aware that you need the extension, and you may be searching for jobs that simply can’t be found.
Here’s how to locate the SQL Server Agent jobs in Azure Data Studio.

What Do I Need to Run SQL?
I get it. You’re trying to learn SQL, but they won’t even tell you the most fundamental part – what you need to run SQL!

How to Install Azure Data Studio on Ubuntu 20.04
Azure Data Studio is a neat little graphical tool for managing databases.
It’s available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. On Linux it’s available on Red Hat (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Ubuntu.

Check/Change the Compatibility Level of a Database in SQL Server (SSMS)
Here’s a quick tutorial that demonstrates how to check or change the compatibility level of a database using the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) graphical user interface (GUI).
If you want to see how to do it in T-SQL, see How to Change the Compatibility Level of a Database using T-SQL.
Set a Default Public Profile for Database Mail (SSMS)

Change the Priority of an Account within a Database Mail Profile (SSMS)
Here, I demonstrate how to change the priority of a Database Mail account within a profile in SQL Server using the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) graphical user interface.
If you want to see how to do it using T-SQL, see Change the Sequence Number of an Account in Database Mail (T-SQL).
The priority and the sequence number are the same thing (when you change it with T-SQL you use the @sequence_number parameter).
