 ## [UNRELEASED]
 
+- Remove ability to download databases from LGTM. [#1467](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/1467)
 - Removed the ability to manually upgrade databases from the context menu on databases. Databases are non-destructively upgraded automatically so 
   for most users this was not needed. For advanced users this is still available in the Command Palette. [#1501](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/1501)
