Support Azure Managed Identities via SQL Server connection string

Problem

Cannot use Active Directory Managed connection strings to connect to Azure SQL Server

e.g. The following DATABASE_URL generates an error message

sqlserver://tcp:{SQL_SERVER_NAME}.database.windows.net,1433;Database={DATABASE_NAME};Authentication=Active Directory Managed;

Gives:

Conversion error: invalid digit found in database URL

Suggested solution

Support use of the connection string format above to allow the use of Azure Function System Managed Identities for Azure SQL Server connections

Alternatives

E> Implementation of what exactly? Can you maybe provide some documentation link?

With token based authentication

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/single-server/how-to-connect-with-managed-identity

Edit: I can see it is under work, just making sure it will support also PostgreSQL databases.

Thanks for that link, currently we are indeed only playing with this for SQL Server (which we use tiberius for to talk to).
