[Azure Data Studio](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/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 Tiger Cloud.

## Prerequisites

To follow the procedure on this page you need to:

- Create a [target Tiger Cloud service](/docs/get-started/quickstart/create-service/index.md).

  This procedure also works for [self-hosted TimescaleDB](/docs/get-started/choose-your-path/install-timescaledb/index.md).

* Download and install [Azure Data Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-data-studio/download-azure-data-studio?view=sql-server-ver16#install-azure-data-studio).
* Install the [PostgreSQL extension for Azure Data Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-data-studio/extensions/postgres-extension?view=sql-server-ver16).

## Connect to your service with Azure Data Studio

To connect to Tiger Cloud:

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

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

3. **Configure the connection**

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

   2. Configure the server name, database, username, port, and password using your [connection details](/docs/integrate/find-connection-details/index.md).

   3. Click `Advanced`.

      If you configured your Tiger Cloud service to connect using [stricter SSL mode](/docs/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/strict-ssl/index.md), 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`.

4. **Click `Connect`**

You have successfully integrated Azure Data Studio with Tiger Cloud.
