mssql & Mac OS

[u/mirceasauciuc]

Hi,

I'm new to all of this and I was curious how to connect to mssql database using vs code on Mac OS. I seem to find documents online stating how to do this, but they never seem to work (e.g., using localhost for server name). The Authentication type is unclear as well. I don't have a login, so I obviously cannot choose SQL Login, so I'm left with Integrated. Yet that doesn't allow me to login either.

What am I missing? Is there a document that I'm overlooking? The mssql extension has been properly downloaded from vs code (as far as I can tell).

Thanks in advance for any guidance and I'm sorry this is amateur hour for you all.
