Hi,

I'm trying to assign a location to a new database in Databricks SQL. Normally I'd do this in Python since we specify storage account names from secret scopes, however I'm attempting to do all of this from a SQL warehouse. When doing this I seem to get a PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR, when I'm not sure what's wrong with the query:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS new_database
LOCATION format_string('abfss://container-name@%s.dfs.core.windows.net/', SECRET('secret-scope', 'storage-account-name'));

Has anyone seen similar errors to this one? It appears to have an issue with the use of format_string as a location.

[PARSE_SYNTAX_ERROR] Syntax error at or near 'format_string'.line 2, pos 9

== SQL ==
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS new_database
LOCATION format_string('abfss://container-name@%s.dfs.core.windows.net/', SECRET('secret-scope', 'storage-account-name'))
