I am trying to connect to our AS400 database from sql 2017 using linked servers but I do not see IBMDASQL in the provider.
However I can see IBMDASQL provider if I try to import data.
How can I add IBMDASQL to the provider list in linked servers?
IBM client access software needed to be installed.

Raise a support ticket with IBM.
Operational issues on commercial cloud services are not for stackoverflow.
Additionally, if you are on the "lite" plan (as suggested by your image), there is no ability to create a Database instance. Instead, you can only connect to a shared multi-tenanted database with your your account. It has a schema which is your account-name.
My probleme is the postgre connector on powerApps doesnt allow to connect to an online server . Its mandatory to select a gateway and to create a gateway , but you have to do it in local (see the screenshot) ?
I create a gateway on the azure portal and it doesnt appaer on the select option in powerapps. The only gateway who appear are the one on my local computer.
How can I create a connction between powerApps to my Azure PostGre database ?
I have try to use the SQL dataBase connector which allow us to use a cloud server but that doesnt work easer because it said the server doesnt exist or isn't found .
The screenshot of Postgres connector in PowerApps
(reposting answer from MSDN Forums)
That is correct -- you need a Gateway to use the PostgreSQL connector today in PowerApps. The reason we need a Gateway is because we need the user to install the PostgreSQL client for the connector to work. We need some work to update our documentation to explain this requirement better. PostgreSQL client: https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql/releases

I have developed some reports using power bi desktop which is using IBM DB2 as datasource. I have installed On-premises data gateway in my power bi system and configured. I have to create ibm db2 datasource connection in power bi web to make live connection with my IBM DB2 database. When i tried to create datasource connection it showing me unable to connect error message.I have given correct credentials but still it showing the same error. Am i missing anything? any special permissions needed to provide from IBM DB2 database admin side? Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Kannas
I had an identical error. The issue appears to be related to the credentials given in the data source settings when configuring in the online service. In my case I had not entered the domain with the username.
Is there a way to get the server info of my VSO account and access using SQL Server?
I've tried logging in using the URL
{account}.visualstudio.com
But I got a sever not found error
No, the back-end databases are SQL Azure instances, different from the TFS on-premise databases. I cannot see MS ever giving you access to the database - maybe the data, but not the database.
You can only use the API (old and new REST) and Power BI tools to perform queries.
If you have a specific problem you are trying to solve, post it as a new question because it may be possible without database access.
I am trying to build a web part to be hosted on SharePoint online (part of Office 365). I want to use Entity Framework to connect to a DB in SQL Azure. Is this even possible? I tried deploying one solution, but I get very unhelpful error saying "Web Part Error: Sandboxed code execution request failed.".
Anyone get this combination working?
I found out that this is not possible. The reason is due to the restricted permissions in the Sandbox and cannot use a proxy to bypass that. The only way to access SQL Azure from within SharePoint online in Office 365 is via a web service exposing operations on the entities residing in SQL Azure. I am currently investigating that approach and once I have more info, I can update this answer.
Update 7/27: Using a web service serving SQL Azure data, we can integrate SQL Azure with SharePoint. The component in SharePoint that enables this integration is called 'Business Connectivity Services'.
