Hi JW,
I faced the same challenge when trying to connect VS Code to Netezza. Unfortunately, there aren't many ready-made solutions out there. To solve this, I created my own Node.js driver and a VS Code extension for Netezza, which works with SQLTools.
You can check it out here: sqltools-driver-netezza
It integrates with SQLTools in VS Code and should allow you to connect to Netezza without issues.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
