Hi,
When importing data from relational data source, the steps are:
In SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), click the Model menu, and then click Import
from Data Source.
On the Connect to a Data Source page, select the type of database to connect to, and then click Next.
Follow the steps in the Table Import Wizard. On subsequent pages, you will be able to select specific tables and views or apply filters by using the Select
Tables and Views page or by creating a SQL query on Specify a SQL Query page.
As we can see on the steps, we need to select one database, so we needn't to write "USE AdventureWorks2012" on the query.
