When I open a .NET project in Visual Studio on the Mac I see the following error:

enter image description here

This contains a .sqlproj file and a folder containing a SQL file. How do I resolve this? Is it a case that my Mac doesn't recognise a SQL project?

    Database projects aren't supported in Visual Studio for Mac. There are no plans to support them that I know of. You'll have to use the latest version of Azure Data Studio – Panagiotis Kanavos Nov 05 '20 at 10:57
  • The SQL script creates a table, adds some data to the table, runs a stored procedure then clears everything down. – runnerpaul Nov 05 '20 at 10:59
  • To back up @PanagiotisKanavos 's claim: [VS Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/comments/624196/view.html) – Thom A Nov 05 '20 at 11:04
  • That and many other Community requests are answered with the same canned response (whose expiry date passed a century ago) and closed out of hand. Somewhat understandable if you remember that VS for Mac is essentially Xamarin Studio and no mobile phone runs SQL Server. It's a lot harder to justify now that ADS does support database projects though. – Panagiotis Kanavos Nov 05 '20 at 11:07

I installed this on Windows instead. The IDE is much more suited to my needs.
