SQL Connection Failed with FLOW

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm trying to create a Flow and connect a database (SQL Server 2000) but only show the message "Connection Failed". 

Exist any way to connect this old version with flow? I'm limited to use only this version.

 

Regards.

    Unfortunately, we only support SQL Server 2005 and later. The limitation comes from the underlying engine that is used to operate on databases. Power BI makes use of the same engine. They have documented version requirements for all the data sources here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-data-source-prerequisites
