I would have named it 'cinnamon' and not wasabi for such a sweet dog.

Microsoft GUI tools for SQL Server Database

 Some people like GUIs more than scripting languages. They can still manage to work with SQL Servers.

Databases reside in the database servers. These servers may reside on your laptops, computers running with various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and macOS. These servers may run in the cloud such as Azure. The tools, however, may not reside on the same platforms but allows you to connect to the various above-mentioned servers.

In brief, the tools are the following:

1. Azure Data Studio uses the operating systems, Windows, macOS, and Linux

This tool can run on-demand queries and save data as text, JSON, or Exel. It has a lightweight editor

2. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

It is a full-featured GUI as well as it can run TSQL statements. It has tons of features.

It is a one-stop database management tool.

It can connect to the cloud, Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, etc.

Developers and DBMs of all skill levels can use this tool.

3. SQL Server Data Tools(SSDT) 

Using this you can build relational databases, Azure SQL databases, Analytical  services, integration services, reporting services, etc

4. Visual Studio Code

Using the "mssql extension" for Visual Studio Code you can connect to SQL Servers

You can do scripting with a lightweight editor after connecting to SQL Server in Visual Studio.

Backdoor Controls in Toyota Venza 2021 Limited - Venza 2

 This post is not a troubleshooting hint for the non-opening backdoor of Venza 2021 Limited. It is basically meant for the driver of the car to use for the first time.

The backdoor can be opened and closed in a number of ways. In all cases make sure your fingers are not holding on to the opening door you may get your fingers damaged while closing).

1. Using the door opening switch in the Remote Key.  You need not unlock the car but should have the  Remote key on your person.

 

2. Even if the car is locked (but you should be having the key on your person) you can open the backdoor by

   Sweeping your feet standing in the center of the car about a foot from the door. You will see the side mirrors opening and you get an audible signal that the door will open. stand away from the door.

3. Once the door is open, you can see controls that can be used to close the door or lock it in position to adjust to the height of the user.

4. Directly under the logo behind the car there are two controls, to open and close. You may need to feel them as they are not seen looking directly. This was photographed with the door open.

5. When the Power is on you can open the door from inside the car using control shown. You need to make sure that there are no obstructions or people standing nearby as the backdoor would swing-out. Probably, it is better to use this method only in an emergency and make sure you use the 360 -degree view system.
