SQL Server Management Studio – July 2016 Release

The first monthly update release of SSMS following the release of SQL Server 2016 is now available. The update added the feature I personally was waiting for. The following are few of the highlights that was mentioned during the announcement.

Support for Azure SQL Data Warehouse in SSMS. This is good news indeed.
Support for PowerShell script generation in the Always Encrypted wizard
Improved connection times to Azure SQL databases
New ‘Backup to URL’ dialog to support the creation of Azure storage credentials for SQL Server 2016 database backups
New Restore dialog to streamline restoring a SQL Server 2016 database backup from the Microsoft Azure storage service.

and some bug fixes too. I cannot wait to play with Azure SQL Data Warehouse using the new SSMS release
