Connecting to SQL Managed Instance

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Hi Everyone,

 

New to Power Automate and trying to connect to a SQL Managed Instance with no luck.  I'm trying to use SQL credentials which I know work, but when creating the connector I just get an error saying "Something went wrong. Please try again later." with no other context.  I'm able to create a connection to a standalone Azure SQL db and I don't see any documentation that says the Managed Instance isn't supported.

    Did you get an answer to this? I am looking for the same solution.  I also have been able to connect to Azure SQL Server, but not an Azure SQL Instance

    You'll need to use the private route and setup an "On Premise Data Gateway". That's what I ended up doing. Then you configure the connector to run through that Gateway. 

    I don't know of a way to use the Public Endpoint on an MI.

    Yeah I had the same situation, On Prem Gateway worked although it's actually a hack - Azure DB's should 'just work'.

     

    This was a very well hid gem that answered quite a few of my questions; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sql/

    @jacquimuller I tried every which way to connect via on-prem gateway. But it does not seem to be working. Did you use Windows or SQL Server authentication? Also are you adding the :port suffix? TIA
