With the rising adoption of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across our organization and industry best practices, we are seeking a more robust and streamlined authentication method for connecting Power BI to Snowflake. Currently, Power BI primarily relies on username/password or OAuth 2.0 via Microsoft Entra ID. While these methods are functional, they can become cumbersome and less secure in MFA-enabled environments. We propose the implementation of RSA key pair authentication for Snowflake connections within Power BI. ... View more

Could Microsoft support SQLMesh project so that they provide good compatibility against Fabric warehouse and lakehouse (via Spark)? Could SqlMesh be added as Fabric native workload to get it as service since this kind of sql modeling functionality with web UI is missing? Add support for Microsoft Fabric · Issue #3374 · TobikoData/sqlmesh ...

Hi Team, Great to get the ability to create a SQL Database via API are you working on the ability to return the connection details? To make it more useful it would be great if we could get the connection details for the created database to (similar to how we can get in warehouse).   ** Once completed can we update the offical documentation ASAP so the Terraform provided team can start using **   Return something like below:   {   "id": "5b218778-e7a5-4d73-8187-f10824047715",   "displayName": "SQLDatabase1",   "description": "A SQLDatabase description.",   "type": "SQLDatabase",   "workspaceId": "cfafbeb1-8037-4d0c-896e-a46fb27ff229"   "properties": {     "serverFqdn": "dqjx2zrgh4uejnetrut54cdkau-g3353rbpoubuvclqhgoznhkmji.database.fabric.microsoft.com",     "databaseName": "SQLDatabase1-b218778-e7a5-4d73-8187-f10824047715"   }, }   Thanks, Darren ...

When provisioning a new Fabric SQL Database, after typing in the name I want, what I get is that name PLUS some random GUID characters. This just seems wrong. Nobody likes to have their stuff renamed. As I understand it by someone from Microsoft in the Fabric Community, this was done to ensure a unique name across the entirety of Microsoft Fabric. It would be nice if that was NOT a requirement. Maybe you can make it like Fabric Warehouses where it is the combination of the Tenant, Workspace, and Data Warehouse name that needs to be unique. ...

Connecting Snowflake to Azure ADF can use Azure Private link. However, Snowflake to Fabric ADF cannot use the Private Link. At this point, the alternative is to setup a onprem gateway to connect Fabric (i.e. Fabric ADF) to Snowflake.   Please add this feature to Fabric ADF to connect to Snowflake via the Azure Private Link.  ...

It would be great if there were a possibility to call a SQL Database stored procedures directly from a Data Warehouse stored procedures. A use case for this would be e.g. logging activities and events during ETL loads. ... View more

Currently, the collation sequence for Microsoft Fabric SQL Database is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, which means that creating tables or column names in Japanese or other languages ​​will result in garbled characters. We have also confirmed that it is currently not possible to change the collation sequence in Microsoft Fabric SQL Database. On the other hand, the collation sequence for Microsoft Fabric warehouses is set to Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8, which we have confirmed will not result in garbled characters. Therefore, we believe that if we could change the collation sequence for Microsoft Fabric SQL Database, it would be possible to set it to Latin1_General_100_BIN2_UTF8, which would help prevent garbled characters. ...

We are working on a migration project to Fabric and need to combine data from inside a SQL Database with data in a Lakehouse then write it to another table in the database. Due to T-SQL compatibility issue with Data Warehouse, we want to use a Fabric SQL database for the Gold layer. For example: SELECT * FROM SilverLakehouseDeltaTable x JOIN GoldDatabaseSQLTable y ON y.id = x.id   This should be part of a INSERT / UPDATE or MERGE such as:   INSERT INTO AnotherGoldDatabaseSQLTable (Columns) SELECT * FROM SilverLakehouseDeltaTable x JOIN GoldDatabaseSQLTable y ON y.id = x.id The ability to read data from OneLake in a Fabric SQL database would solve this problem. ...

It should be possible to query data in a Fabric Lakehouse directly in Fabric SQL database using T-SQL. For example I have the following scenario where I want to join data from a table in my Fabric SQL DB to a delta table in my lakehouse then insert the resultset into another table in my Azure SQL database: INSERT INTO AnotherGoldDatabaseSQLTable (Columns) SELECT * FROM SilverLakehouseDeltaTable x JOIN GoldDatabaseSQLTable y ON y.id = x.id This isn't currently possible with Fabric SQL Database. ...

Within Fabric SQL databases you can cross-database query in the warehouse connection. However cross-database querying from one live SQL database to another is not possible. It would be great to have this possibility with 3-part names: select* from [sqldatabase].[dbo].[table_A]  By getting this migrating from on-prem SQL server or an Azure managed instance to Fabric will be easier. ...

It would really help with backwards compat and frustrations connecting in SSMS if Fabric SQLDB allowed users to connect to master. This adds 2 improvements 1) In this way we could connect to SSMS and then change DB afterwards , which is very much a mainstream practice. we understand telemetry shows that this is the No1 connection error from SSMS. 2) Currently some features such as dacpac, VS package export from SSMS and 3rd party schema compares break due to this issue. ...

Currently, databases are randomly assigned to a pool of logical servers and there is not a way to group databases under same logical server name. Please allow us to see all the SQL databases listed under the same logical server name. It would be ideal to create one connection to the server name. This eventually would make cross-database querying on the same server possible as well . ... View more

The core issue is the inability to directly access Microsoft Fabric SQL Databases from within Fabric Notebooks, despite the availability of JDBC and ODBC connection strings. The built-in notebook authentication token library appears to be missing Fabric SQL as an option. It does not currently appear possible (or at least not documented how) to access a Fabric SQL Server Database from within a Fabric Notebook. I see JDBC and ODBC connection strings, but these don't work apparently because the library to create authentication tokens is missing Fabric SQL as an option. Current Impact 1. Enterprises must create complex workarounds ("Rube Goldberg architectures") to establish basic data flows that leverage SQL Server 2. The platform fails to deliver on its "unified" promise, leading to a loss of faith in the Fabric brand 3. SQL Server's established strengths are not being leveraged effectively, further eroding trust that Fabric can deliver on enterprise data needs Summary This is a critical feature request that highlights a significant gap in Microsoft Fabric's platform integration. The inability to easily access Fabric SQL Databases from Fabric Notebooks undermines the platform's unified vision and creates unnecessary complexity for enterprise users. The request is well-justified, technically feasible, and would bring significant value to the platform. ... View more

When doing restore we always get a new database ID, Physical Name and SqlEndPoint, even if the database logical name is the same (eg restore over the top). This causes a massive increase in RTO as afer the restore all end points broke and configuration management had to be updated and re-tested. When doing a restore we need to have the ability to keep database exactly as it was, rather than always creating a clone. In a recent DR event it was 5 minutes to restore, but the 2 days before we stopped getting issues on end points and config change impact. ... View more

The transactional nature of Fabric SQL DBs means these are a great SaaS offering for application data. However, the lack of an option to support selective deployment in pipelines (e.g., deploy Table A and Table B but not Table C since it is a work-in-progress) means your solution deployments have to be all or nothing. This would also benefit Fabric DWs as well, but I'll take what I can get. 🙂 ... View more

If you add a (preview) Azure SQL Database to your Fabric Workspace, it shows under it two items: SQL Analytics Endpoint and Semantic Model. Please add the SQL Endpoint as well. And while you are at it, make the whole list able to expand and collapse with "> / v " or + / - icons. This will go a long way to user interface improvements. ... View more

We had a few incidents here replication either stopped completely after a data centre crash or had irrecoverable errors. In all cases we had to fully restore database or delete and start again. We need the following features to help support replication and have smoother recovery from failures Start replication on GUI and API Stop replication on GUI and by API (The existing SQLDB API works here for Fabric) Query replication state on GUI and by API Resync either one table or all tables on GUI or by API. These features would allow for recovery from issues without having to do full restores and reduce customers down time. ... View more

Currenlty when connecting to a Database using SSMS we get an error if we dont put the name of the database in the COnneciton Properties (and no one ever remembers to do this).

Hi ”Product team” Currently customers with private link enables on Fabric teanant at the start of the preview on November 19 cannot create a Fabric SQL database. Any change that this will change? I am making a POC on moving our workflow from Synapse to Fabric and thought that the Fabric SQL data base might be a good choice for custom logging (our data go to a lakehouse) but a bit surprised to find we are not able to even create a Fabric SQL database as we must use private link due to company policy.   Friendly regards Kim Tutein ...
