Fabric SQL Database names: Remove GUID suffix

When provisioning a new Fabric SQL Database, after typing in the name I want, what I get is that name PLUS some random GUID characters. This just seems wrong. Nobody likes to have their stuff renamed.

As I understand it by someone from Microsoft in the Fabric Community, this was done to ensure a unique name across the entirety of Microsoft Fabric.

It would be nice if that was NOT a requirement. Maybe you can make it like Fabric Warehouses where it is the combination of the Tenant, Workspace, and Data Warehouse name that needs to be unique.

    We do plan to remove the GUID from the database name/url

  • something has changed? because it was working till yesterday with the database guid, but now it's failing and we are receiving an error login failed for user ''. Reason: Authentication was successful, but the database was not found or you have insufficient permissions to connect to it. if we remove the guid we can connect, but on a different workspace it's still with the guid from the release notes i can't find anything back on this topic
