Setting the data source of an External List to a WCF Web Service

$

From SharePoint Online, I want to create/connect an External List to a SQL Azure data source.  This will feed a Visio diagram so I want it to be able to refresh and dynamically retrieve current data via Visio Services.<o:p></o:p>

I have a published WCF Web Service in place (Azure Website) connected to this database that consolidates data from multiple tables and returns a variety of generic lists.  From my readings, this should bypass the need for much of the security (e.g. secure store, etc...).

Can I do this?  I'm not seeing an option to Create an ECT as in past versions to connect to this endpoint.  Do I have to create something in Visual Studio to Import?  Any direction would be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p>
