Does Databricks SQL support Azure SQL DB?

Hi,

I could create spark tables based on SQL server (Azure SQL actually), and query the tables from a notebook.

On another hand, I can see the tables listed in the hive metastore in Databricks SQL. However when I try to query the tables there, it says only CSV, json, parquet, etc. (meaning file based) tables are supported.

 

Is there anyway to overcome that ? It looks pretty inconsistent to me that we can query the tables in Data Science and Engineering mode but not in SQL mode.
