SSMS 22.12.0 updates SQL libraries and fixes administration issues
🛠️ Microsoft released SQL Server Management Studio 22.12.0 on November 10. This release updates the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server to 18.7.1.1 and SQL Server Management Objects to 181.38.1.
Its fixes address inconsistent metric units in Query Store reports, reused temporary filenames across separate SSMS sessions, difficult-to-read XML NULL values in unfocused dark-theme result grids, and SQL Server Agent pager-email subject settings that did not save when the existing template was empty.
The release notes cover the administration client used with SQL Server and Azure SQL services.
