Currently the organization that I work for has legacy databases that include spaces in their naming conventions. While this is not ideal or best practice could Power BI support these naming conventions in the future when connecting to a SQL Database source?

Ex. [Adventure WorksDB] - Will receive a network related error when I try to connect to this database.

RE: Connect to SQL Database w/ Space Character Support

Hey, I can connect to the same database server and every single database on the server, except for the one database with a space in the name!

How do you explain that?

The error doesn’t seem related to the problem that I receive

Any ideas? I could use the help if you say this is not the problem
