title: Configuring .NET databases with VS Code on Linux
body: <p>I have downloaded and installed VS Code to begin playing around with .NET on Linux. I have successfuly installed mono and scaffolded a new MVC project using Yeoman. The scaffolding gave me a <code>config.json</code> like the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "AppSettings": {
          "SiteTitle": "Website"
      },
      "Data": {
          "DefaultConnection": {
              "ConnectionString": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=aspnet5-Website-70631559-83ea-4436-8916-44a78906688e;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I am unsure of how to go about configuring and setting up a database. On Windows the <code>update-database</code> command in Visual Studio ran the migrations and created a localdb.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to use mysql if possible, but haven't been able to find any documentation on it (and there's no NuGet console in VS Code).</p>
  
  <p>How is this done on Linux? If this is not yet supported, will it be in the future?</p>
