title: Azure SQL Creating Database Scoped Credential
body: <p>I'm trying to create a scoped credential in azure SQL using SSMS.</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL [cred-name] WITH IDENTITY = [db-user], SECRET = 'password'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I keep running into the error message stating "Incorrect syntax near 'cred-name'. Expected '='." I'm not sure how my syntax is incorrect as I've done this exact command successfully in the past so I'm not sure what has changed. I thought maybe it was just intellisense that was messing up so I updated my SSMS instance from 17.3 to 17.7 but I still get the same error message. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any idea of what could have changed? </p>
