SQL Server (MSSQL)

FactSet: Connect to Azure SQL with Microsoft Entra authentication and SqlClient

FactSet uses Microsoft Entra ID as the authentication type. Microsoft Entra ID is previously known as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

Microsoft Entra authentication uses identities in Microsoft Entra ID to access data sources such as Azure SQL Database.

Active Directory Interactive authentication supports multifactor authentication technology to connect to Azure SQL data sources. If you provide this authentication mode in the connection string, an Azure authentication screen appears and asks the user to enter valid credentials. You can’t specify the password in the connection string.

Issue: cannot run SQL notebook as in Azure Data Studio
