SQL Database not listed?

(0) ShareShare

Reaching out to the brains trust for some help.

 

I've created connections to two SQL databases but only one shows up in the pick list for the Database name?

 

Any ideas why?

    Please try following : 

     

    • Try removing second sql connection and add it again.
    • Make sure you have SQL Server services running on server. 
    • Create case with  Microsoft Support 

    Let me know if above works.

    Please go through below link as well for limitation of SQL Server connection.

    Why would they be visable and active in Powerapps but not Power Automate?

    Looking at issue , it could be data glitch from Microsoft . I would suggest you to create a case with Microsoft.

    Hi @KarlNixon ,

     

    I am afraid I did not understand your intention. As far as I know, a connection corresponds to a Database name, so only one Database is expected to appear in the Database name drop-down list.

     

    What authentication method do you choose? If you use SQL Server Authentication and Windows Authentication, we also specify a separate database when creating a connection, so a connection corresponds to only one database.

    Thanks - I managed to solve the problem.

     

    The database can be selected by editing the selection on the action ie Insert Row (v2)
