export const PG = 'Postgres';

export const CLOUD_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud';

export const SERVICE_LONG = 'Tiger Cloud service';

export const SELF_LONG = 'self-hosted TimescaleDB';

[Azure Data Studio][azure-data-studio] is an open-source, cross-platform hybrid data analytics tool designed to simplify the data landscape.

This page explains how to integrate Azure Data Studio with {CLOUD_LONG}.

## Prerequisites

To follow the steps on this page:

* Create a target [{SERVICE_LONG}][create-service] with Real-time analytics enabled.<p />

  You need [your connection details][connection-info]. This procedure also
  works for [{SELF_LONG}][enable-timescaledb].

[create-service]: /deploy-and-operate/tiger-cloud/get-started/create-services

[enable-timescaledb]: /deploy-and-operate/self-hosted/install-and-update/install-self-hosted

[connection-info]: /integrations/find-connection-details

* Download and install [Azure Data Studio][ms-azure-data-studio].
* Install the [{PG} extension for Azure Data Studio][postgresql-azure-data-studio].

## Connect to your service with Azure Data Studio

To connect to {CLOUD_LONG}:

1. **Start `Azure Data Studio`**

2. **In the `SERVERS` page, click `New Connection`**

   1. Select `PostgreSQL` for `Connection type`.

   2. Configure the server name, database, username, port, and password using your [connection details][connection-info].

   3. Click `Advanced`.

      If you configured your {SERVICE_LONG} to connect using [stricter SSL mode][ssl-mode], set `SSL mode` to the
      configured mode, then type the location of your SSL root CA certificate in `SSL root certificate filename`.

   4. In the `Port` field, type the port number and click `OK`.
