Virtual table setup error with managed sql instance

(0) Share

Posted on by DHoyt

When setting up a new table from external data in D365 CE I am able to establish the connection via a sql connection using sql authentication. This is attempting to connect into a managed sql instance. It works fine with a single sql server in the same azure environment.

However when I go to create the virtual table I get this error.

The sql user is a full server admin and I've tried adding to the database individually when that didn't work. Still the same error.

Any advice on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

RE: Virtual table setup error with managed sql instance

Hi DHoyt,

To create a virtual table, you must have a Microsoft Dataverse license through Power Apps or Microsoft Dynamics 365. Microsoft 365 or Teams licenses can't be used to create virtual tables.

If so, have you enabled TDS Endpoint (Preview) feature in your environment? You can refer to this link: Connect D365 CRM CDS Database from SQL Server - Dynamics 365 Field Service Community

Here are links about create virtual tables using virtual connectors:

Create virtual tables using virtual connectors (preview) (Microsoft Dataverse) - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

Create a Virtual Table for SQL with the Virtual Connector Provider - YouTube

Hope it helps you.

Best Regards,

The database definitely contains tables because they are being used by other apps, and I'm looking at them in SSMS logged in as the same user the connection is using.

Hi,

In this case you must check your dataset in SQL Server

Base on the screen that you have shared, the database which you have the connection does not contain tables.

I'm past that part that part, the step I'm getting the error on is when it's attempting to load the tables from the sql managed instance database I'm attempting to connect to.

The connection reference itself creates just fine, but which connection settings are you referring to?

Hi DHoyt,

Have you created the connection reference ? It's work correctly ?

I think that the error message is due to a connection reference

Can you create a connection reference and Check the connection settings ?

Hope that's helpful
