Hi Olivia Balas ,

It sounds like you're trying to securely connect your SQL Database to Azure Data Studio using a private endpoint, which is a great way to enhance security by bypassing the public internet. Let’s break down the steps you can follow to establish this connection.
Step-by-Step Process to Connect Azure Data Studio to SQL Database via Private Endpoint
- Create a Private Endpoint: Use the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI to create a private endpoint for your SQL database. This private endpoint will allow connections from your virtual network (VNet) to your SQL database over a private IP address. You can find detailed instructions for setting up a private endpoint:
- Approval of the Private Endpoint Connection: After creating the private endpoint, you might need to approve it:
- Navigate to your SQL server in the Azure portal, go to Private endpoint connections, and approve the connection if it's in a Pending state.
- Configure DNS Resolution: Ensure that your virtual network has the necessary DNS settings so that requests can correctly resolve the SQL database's private endpoint IPs. If the virtual network uses Azure DNS:
- Create a private DNS zone named
privatelink.database.windows.net. - Link this DNS zone to the virtual network.
- Add an A record for your SQL server's name pointing to the IP of the private endpoint.
- Create a private DNS zone named
- Install Azure Data Studio & Set Up Connection: Once the private endpoint is set up and DNS is configured:
- Open Azure Data Studio.
- In the connection dialog, use the following details:
- Server name: Use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SQL server in the
privatelinkzone (e.g.,yourserver.privatelink.database.windows.net). - Authentication type: Choose SQL Login.
- Username and Password: Enter your admin credentials.
- Test the Connection: After entering the connection details, click on Connect. If configured correctly, Azure Data Studio should connect to your SQL Database through the private endpoint.
Common Issues:
- Firewall Rules: Make sure your Azure SQL Database firewall settings allow the private endpoint’s VNet.
- Deny Public Network Access: If you have enabled the Deny Public Network Access (DPNA) feature, ensure that your connection attempts are coming from the correct VNet.
- Check Connection State: Ensure that the connection state of the private endpoint is Approved.
