how to connect SQL Database to Azure Data Studio through private endpoint?

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

1. 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:
   • Create a Private Endpoint Using the Azure Portal
   • Create a Private Endpoint Using PowerShell
   • Create a Private Endpoint Using Azure CLI
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 privatelink zone (e.g., yourserver.privatelink.database.windows.net).
   • Authentication type: Choose SQL Login.
   • Username and Password: Enter your admin credentials.
5. 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.
