Using SQL Server will connect without the Database Name but I need to use the Database Name

  I am trying to connect to a SQL Server Database the Server name is long and the Database Name is long... I can connect when I leave the Database Name off ... but I need to populate since I have a query so I can do all the joins in sql ... 

 

I tried updating using the Advanced Editor ... but it gives the following error 

 

Expression.Error: 3 arguments were passed to a function which expects between 1 and 2.
Details:
Pattern=
Arguments=[List]

 

Advanced Editor (  Changed Server and Database Name ) 

let
Source = Sql.Databases("lanteria.database.windows.net", "ESDB_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
, [Query= "SELECT emp.[Id] ,emp.[Account] FullEmpName FROM [LanteriaHR].[Employees] emp" , CreateNavigationProperties=false])
in
Source

 

thanks 

Kathy

You have an extra "s" in the code. 

 

Should be:

 

let
Source = Sql.Database("server", "database", [Query="select count(1/0) [sanity test]", CreateNavigationProperties=false])

in Source

Thanks that solved it...  

@Anonymous   However - this brings up a really good question.  Why didn't I know about SQL.Databases() and is that something that would work on the gateway?  Given the right permissions that would allow to have just one connection per server, not (like now) one per database.
