I have created an Azure SQL database and now want to use that database in an Azure Logic App where I need to connect to the database using connection name of that SQL database. I'm following this tutorial from Azure official team where at one step I need to enter connection name. But I cannot find the connection name in Azure Portal for my Azure SQL Database. If you look at the Connection Name field in the dialog box of step 3, you see you need to enter the connection name. Question: How can I find connection name of my Azure SQL db?
UPDATE
I'm using this tutorial from Azure official documents to create Azure SQL db and I don't see any place where connection name was provided by me.
You can enter any name.Some info from Documentation .
The connection name is a name you provide for the collection of properties related to your connection to Azure SQL DB.

I am using Logic Apps Designer on Azure to move source data to a storage file and I need to connect to a database on my SQL Server. To do this, I am using an on-premise connection througha gateway. I was able to successfully connect to my SQL Server database, however, when I am using Logic Apps action, not all tables are available on Logic Apps. Is there a security/permissions/connections issue that is preventing all tables from the SQL Server database not to return to Logic Apps?
enter image description here

I tried refreshing/restarting Azure and also tried connecting through with other authentications hoping more tables would return, but no luck.
I would suggest you to create a new api connection to sql and try to access tables again. There might be issue with connecting to db.
One of the alternative approaches to get row from sql db is using execute query action in logic app.
As shown in above picture, Execute a SQL query (V2) action is used to query table and retrieve records based on condition.

I tried to follow this article Connect to Azure Cosmos DB from BI and Data Integration tools with the ODBC driver but I'm unable to locate the DB Keys page mentioned on step 3.
I found something similar to the image, but it is for the connection string.
Here's the screenshot of the menu options, "Keys" is not on the list.
No-SQL Instance
In the CosmosDB blade and then Keys ...
Mongo DB Instance
You'll find the connection string in the Quick Start section of the blade.
I'd normally just post a comment for a question like this but it's hard to show you without showing a screenshot.
I am trying to scale Azure SQLDW by following this document => azure link but help guide says, to run query under master DB.
I am logging in using system admin credential,
what am i missing.
Azure SQL DW master DB is the same with Azure SQL Server.
Please run the query in Database--System Database--master.
Login your Azure SQL DW with admin account, set the connect to database.
Step 1
Step 2
Step3
Hope this helps.
Given the first screen shot, it appears that you've connected to the user database and not the server with the default database. When connecting to your server in SSMS, click on the Connection Properties tab and make sure the Connect to database: value is set to <default>.

I am trying to restore a SQL Server database in Azure from a database backup file stored in a blob. I have followed this link but got this error
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
An error occurred while loading data.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The type of a blob in the container is unrecognized by this version. (Microsoft.SqlServer.StorageClient)
The remote server returned an error: (409) Conflict. (System)
I have also tried this:
CREATE CREDENTIAL mycredential1
WITH IDENTITY= 'jjt', -- this is the name of the storage account you specified when creating a storage account
SECRET = 'storage account key'
Then try to use the credential to restore the sql db from the azure blob, but failed on the above step with the following error:
Msg 40514, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
'CREATE CREDENTIAL' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.
What is the correct way?
You cannot use CREATE CREDENTIAL on Azure SQL Database, you need to create a CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL as shown below:
CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL UploadInvoices
WITH IDENTITY = 'SHARED ACCESS SIGNATURE',
SECRET = 'QLYMgmSXMklt%2FI1U6DcVrQixnlU5Sgbtk1qDRakUBGs%3D';
For more information, please read this article.
Additionally, you cannot restore a native SQL Server backup into an Azure SQL Database. The article you are making reference is restoring a bacpac. You can restore a bacpac into an Azure SQL Database.
Please create a bacpac of your SQL Server (on-premises) database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), make a right click on the database, choose Tasks, then choose Export Data-tier Application to create the mentioned bacpac. Once the bacpac has been created you can then import it to Azure SQL Database as a new database.
A better method to migrate your database from a SQL Server instance to Azure SQL database is using the latest version of Data Migration Assistant which you can download from here. This tool would perform an assessment of your SQL Server assessment, it will let you know about any adjustments you need to make to make the database compatible to Azure SQL Database. If the database is compatible, the tool will migrate the database to an Azure SQL Database logical server.
(This is for an Azure SQL Database)
Just about every article says at the start to "connect to the master database" before creating a new DB.
I have connected to my Azure SQL Database server with SSMS 2014 with no problems. I see the master DB under System Databases. I right-click on Databases (this is above System Databases) in the tree on the LHS and click New Database...
The template query comments area says among other things "...connect to master..." which implies to me that I am not connected to the master.
I am obviously missing something very fundamental and obvious regarding basics.
Can someone please put me out of my misery :)
PS When I click "New Database..." when connected to my non-Azure SQL Server 2012 I get a GUI and I am able to create a DB no problem.
You do not need to explicitly connect to master to create a database in Azure SQL DB. Please follow the steps here to create a database in Azure SQL DB.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-get-started/
Also, can you please give me links to the articles that mention "Connect to master" so I can take a look and correct them if needed? Thanks.
I believe you are referring to the below template. You are actually connected to the master database and this is just a template instructions. If you are in doubt query select db_name() This should return 'master' for the master database.
If your connection string either specified database name as master / nothing it will be connected to master database.
