title: How do I find my SQL Server connection for Azure Data Explorer database (Playfab)
body: <p>I'm new to Azure Data Explorer / Playfab and I'm trying to setup an ODBC connection from Playfab to connect to Tableau. I've followed this tutorial (<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/tableau" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/tableau</a>) and it works fine for the &quot;help&quot; database, but the moment I try to connect to my game's SQL Server, I get the following error:</p>
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>Attempting connection
  [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. 
  [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]Login timeout expired
  [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.
  </code></pre>
  <p>In the first screen of the ODBC connection setup, I am entering the Playfab title id followed by .kusto.windows.net. For example: 5C56Z.kusto.windows.net.</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
