Adobe claims they have a partnership with Microsoft but I've never seen a group of products so incompatible!

Is this just a marketing lie?

Where are the details/instructions to get DreamWeaver to work with SQL Server?

If Dreamweaver is second class now...are people really still using it? My creative cloud suite goes up in price next year but the updates I'm getting don't help me be more productive at all.

I still use Dw CS6 for quick and dirty ideas, (I modified the code hints extensively myself), but unless you only intend to use bootstrap, or have/will purchase 3rd party extensions to extend or add the missing functionality, (could get very expensive) then Dw is in its current form only a collection of open source projects. Admittedly those open source projects are in one program, but for serious work you will still have to use another program to suplement Dw.

The other alternative is to use the actual open source programs, and just subscribe to the 'photographer' plan, (about $10 per month) if you require image editing software.

Adobe has partnered with Microsoft, but only in the use of the Adobe Experiance Cloud range of products, and then this is limited to the MS Azure cloud.

Whilst you could in theory use Dreamweaver, the MS Azure cloud is primarily based on the MSSQL database, which would require C# or asp.net, (it is possible to use php and pdo, but forget Dw, both past and present). The two best products to use for using the 'partnership' are -

Visual Studio Pro, (expensive) and Visual Studio Code, (free).

So it is not a 'marketing lie', but does show Adobes thinking on the use of Dreamweaver, (not really for serious professional web development anymore). Still not bad for low end static sites.

Dreamweaver's database panels have been gone from the program for a while now.

The only way to get the functionality back is by purchasing 3rd party extensions from Webassist or DMXZone, or hand-writing the necessary code yourself.
