You can use many database including MySQL along with VS , but Microsoft SQL server is the most compitable DB.

Yes, you can definitely use mysql with vscode! I'm most-familiar in using mysql with back-end Web dev, and to use it I include Node Packages (NPM) with a "require" call in server scripts, and an install on the command line ("npm install mysql"). There is a lot of documentation on this in Stackoverflow as well.
