# Connecting on-premise SQL Server to Crisp Data Platform

Crisp's destination connectors allow users to quickly and easily import data into their on-premise databases. Below is a guide for doing this with our Azure Blob Storage connector.

In this example, you will need to have the following to start:

* A [Crisp](https://platform.gocrisp.com) account with the appropriate subscription level
* An [Azure Blob Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/storage/blobs/) account
* [SQL Server data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio ](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt?view=sql-server-ver15)to set up the data flow task
* [SQL Server Management Studio](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/create-a-database?view=sql-server-ver15) for creating and managing your on-premises database

### Example Setup

1\. Make sure your connector is set up in Crisp. You can refer to our [Azure Blob Storage connection setup guide](/docs/support/articles-Azure-Blob-Storage-connection-setup-guide) if you encounter any issues.

2\. Open [SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio.](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssdt/download-sql-server-data-tools-ssdt?view=sql-server-ver15)

3\. Click "Create a new project."

18\. You can now navigate to the "Control Flow" tab at the top of the screen and click "Start" to run your "Data Flow Task." Within seconds, your data will begin to flow to your on-premises solution. Please note, you will still need to add your own logic, such as date parameterization, to fully implement a scheduled work flow to download reports on a frequent basis.
