Visual Studio C++ is not supported on OS X.
You can use either Eclipse or KDevelop. A complete listing IDEs for C++ is available at

Visual Studio On A Mac
Microsoft has a version of Visual Studio which is cross platform. It will run on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. It is called Visual Studio Code. You can download it at: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
You will have to download the C++ extensions. It will take you to the market place where you can get the extension for free.
Personally I prefer Xcode when coding on a Mac.
It's not hard to learn, but because it is fairly new there aren't many useful videos or articles on how to navigate Visual Studio Code. If you are familiar with Visual Studio IDE for Microsoft Windows, Visual Studio Code is a totally different program.
You can try Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers-includes-incubating-components/indigor

I’m trying to make an SQL connection using server explorer, but I can’t seem to locate it on Visual Studio 2017 on Mac. I tried creating a New Solution as well and look for it under View, but it still does not pop up.
Where could it be located?
Thank you in advance and will be sure to accept/upvote answer!

Unfortunately, Server Explorer is not (yet) available for the Visual Studio for the Mac. Microsoft has not yet clarified whether Visual Studio for the Mac will always be different than the traditional VS, but so far that is the case.
Until Microsoft clarifies, we have to think of Visual Studio for the Mac as 'partially compatible' with Visual Studio. Though not quite the same, it's similar to how Visual Studio Code is kept separate, though it keeps the valuable 'Visual Studio' name.
