Free server sql database

Hello everyone

I'm having some issues here accessing an sql database of a client. I'm trying to find out the reason why my pbi is so slow accessing it. It used to be faster. I know it could be several reasons and i believe most of them i've excluded.
What i would like is to try to access an sql database to try to do some reports in power bi. Is there any free server and database to access?
I don't need any software, just a place to access any kind of data through an sql database connection
Thanks a lot
Pedro
P.S. More than 40 people saw this post and no answer so far. Did i say something weird?

You install this software on your PC, setup your test SQL server, and do your tests.  It is free to use, and quick to learn.

Thank you very much

Hi @lbendlin 
Thank you for your answer. I don't understand nothing about working with SQL server.
Now, i know, i think, the problem is on the "other side" but i would like to try another connection to any sql server. Can you tell me what do i need this software for?
