Hello, I've this bug on my SSMS when I want to connect Fabric to SSMS, the More Info in English is The size  of the value for the key  "data source" oversize the limit of 128.

Do you think that something is wrong when I use this  link, I ve tried too to use the URL link.

I think you need to use the SQL Connection String instead.

 

If using Fabric Data Warehouse:

Hi @GuillaumePower ,

 

Thanks for the reply from frithjof_v .

 

In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), you will usually get an error when you try to use data that is larger than the maximum size that SSMS can handle for a particular field or parameter.

 

In addition to the method provided by frithjof_v , you can also try to shorten the value of the "Data Source" key. If possible, use a shorter alias or other method to refer to the data source.
