Connection to Microsoft Azure SQL Datebase

Hi everybody, 

I try to connect to Microsoft Azure SQL Datebase OleDB.

Then I click on Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server.

After that, I type the server name and press on Universal with MFA support.

then, press on Test Connection and It looks Succeeded.

But, after this, I press on OK and I get an ERR. "Error, Open returned 0x80040e21".

What am I doing wrong?

The error looks similar to this:

Maybe there is an advanced setting to address the issue if it's related to data types.  I'd reach out to Alteryx Support.

 

Hope that helps.

Hi @EladLevy! I'm running into the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Same issue here.

This just started happening to me as well. Everything was fine and then not. Any updates for a fix?

We work around this by using a service account and a manual OLEDB connection string specified in the Alteryx Server Gallery, which we sync.  This is not ideal.

Same issue here - worked fine until Friday last week

Can you share the details of your manual oledb connection string? 

 

I'm trying to connect to Azure for the first time and this is really frustrating!

Yeah - it is quite frustrating. I managed to resolve the issue connecting by downgrading the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server from 19.x to 18.7.4 I have been told that a dedicated Fabric connector is on its way.
