Improve Create New Database Diaglog Project Dialog to Reduce Confusion #25816

Type: Feature Request

Feature Request: Clarify Database Project Options in Dropdown Menu

  1. Issue: The options for Synapse, Fabric, and Azure SQL Database appear under the "SQL Server Database" dropdown. This is confusing because:

    • There is already a specific icon for Azure SQL Database.
    • Synapse and Fabric databases are not part of the SQL Server options; only on-premises SQL Server versions should be listed here.
    • Currently, there are two icons: one for Azure SQL DB and one for SQL Server.
  2. Proposed Solution:

    • Remove Synapse, Fabric, and Azure SQL Database options from the SQL Server dropdown list.
    • Add two new icons: one for Synapse and one for Fabric, ensuring they are clearly separated from the SQL Server and Azure SQL Database options.
  3. Expected Outcome:

    • The SQL Server dropdown will only list on-premises SQL Server versions.
    • Synapse and Fabric databases will have their own distinct icons and dropdown lists.
    • Users will have a clearer and more intuitive selection process.

Visual Example: (Please refer to the attached image showing the current dropdown list when SQL Server is selected)


Let me know if you need any further modifications!
