JustyBase Core (NetezzaSQL) for VS Code.

JustyBase Core (NetezzaSQL) is a Netezza-first SQL extension for Visual Studio Code. It brings Netezza and PureData SQL development, schema browsing, query results, and database workflows into one editor. The Netezza package is the required core; install optional packs for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Db2, DuckDB, and more.

Important: optional packs do not replace the Netezza core. The deepest parser, linting, procedure diagnostics, and Netezza-specific workflows remain in the core extension; other databases receive the shared workflow plus the support implemented by their pack.
