@tomer @sehengratis,

You can connect to your SQL database from Power BI Desktop,  create reports in Power BI Desktop and after you publish reports from Power BI Desktop to Power BI Service, you are able  to use on-premises gateway to refresh your dataset in Service.

In general, if you have an on-premises data gateway and a local data source (like a local SQL Server), the connection information is in the PBIX file and the Service will recognize that it must get the data from a local source and use the gateway automagically.
