Indexer connections to Azure SQL Managed Instance through a public endpoint

  • Artikkel

Indexers in Azure AI Search connect to external data sources over a public endpoint. If you're setting up an Azure SQL indexer for a connection to a SQL managed instance, follow the steps in this article to ensure the public endpoint is set up correctly.

Alternatively, for private connections, create a shared private link instead.

Note

Always Encrypted columns are not currently supported by Azure AI Search indexers.

Enable a public endpoint

This article highlights just the steps for an indexer connection in Azure AI Search. If you want more background, see Configure public endpoint in Azure SQL Managed Instance instead.

  1. For a new SQL Managed Instance, create the resource with the Enable public endpoint option selected.

    Enable public endpoint

  2. Alternatively, if the instance already exists, you can enable public endpoint on an existing SQL Managed Instance under Security > Networking > Public endpoint > Enable.

    Enable public endpoint using managed instance VNET

Get public endpoint connection string

  1. To get a connection string, go to Settings > Connection strings.

  2. Copy the connection string to use in the search indexer's data source connection. Be sure to copy the connection string for the public endpoint (port 3342, not port 1433).

Next steps

With configuration out of the way, you can now specify a SQL managed instance as an indexer data source using the basic instructions for setting up an Azure SQL indexer.
