# How to configure an Azure SQL Database destination

Use this guide to fill the fields in the configuration view when creating a new Azure SQL database destination in Supermetrics.

## Before you begin

Make sure you meet [all prerequisites for Azure SQL database destinations](/v1/docs/about-azure-sql-database-prerequisites) before going ahead.

## Azure SQL Database configuration

1. **Display name** will be used as the name of this destination within the Supermetrics Hub, to distinguish it from other destinations.
2. **Hostname** is the name of the SQL server you’re going to use as a destination. Find this in the Azure Portal.
3. **Database name** refers to the database you’ll connect to. Find this in the Azure Portal.
4. **Database schema** is the name of the destination database schema. Azure provides a default schema — “dbo” — that you can use instead of creating your own. Note that a database schema isn’t equivalent to a schema you’d select when creating a transfer, or a custom schema that you’d create in the Supermetrics Query Manager.
5. **Username** refers to your Azure SQL database username.
6. **Password** refers to your Azure SQL database user password. When you’re editing an existing destination, this field will read “New password”. Adding anything into the field will overwrite the previous password.
