Hi,
We are sruggling with getting a Direct Query Connection to a SQL database on premis. We can complete a LOAD of data from the same SQL database, but when using Direct Query for the exact same Database and using the same SQL username, we are hit by the below. Any ideas?

@v-cherch-msft thanks for the response!
What we ended up trying and what worked was specifying the server name with 'TCP:' as a prefix, and then instead of using a port number at the end of the server name, used the actual name, and this seems to work now for both Direct Query and with the Gateway.
Any idea why this may have been the case?

@v-cherch-msft Thats it, the comma instead of the double colon works as well.
Dont understand what it does differently, but it solves my query.
