powershell redirect error from az cli command

I'm running an az CLI command az mysql db show. At first, the DB doesn't exist, but that case is handled in a try/catch block. There is an error message printed:

ERROR: The requested resource of type 'Microsoft.DBforMySQL/servers/databases' with name 'my_name' was not found.

I would like to not print this message since I'm handling the error case. I tried different methods to redirect the error output stream to null. I didn't manage to do so. I tried:

command 2> $null # not working

and other approaches.

What is the correct syntax?

azure-cli powershell

# from python in windows
az mysql db show 2>nul

# from powershell in windows - no space!
az mysql db show 2>$null

This should work better for you. Powershell will eat your $null, so azure cli won't redirect.

You can also try checking for the db first with az mysql db list
