When we connect to the DB we have to enter the Database Name whgich is a GUID.
Please make this database name equal to the same name as trhe SQL End Point and database name in Fabric. This imporves usability, and allows for the same 3 part TSQL to run on SQL DB v SQL End Point.
At the moment we have different TSQL Statements if we query SQLDB v SQL End Point which is not optimum

If we plan to remove the GUID from the database name, will this satisfy your needs?
- BobDuffyIRLRegular VisitorThis will help a bit., ut it still stands that Fabric SQLDB is one of the only SQL editions that we must enter a database name when connecting with SSMS. Other editions allow connection just to master then a change in DB after connection. If the default DB was set to the SQLDB then SSMS would work much more smoothly. I added another idea for this. https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-Ideas/Make-the-user-database-the-default-instead-of-master/idi-p/4639806#M160051 This makes sense as we can only have one SQLDB per Fabric database connection end point. So if we can only have one, why not make it the default!

We will remove the guid, but I don't forsee any plans for connecting to master.
