 ## Prerequisites
 
-Your first step is to review the articles below and make sure you've met the prerequisites:
+Your first step is to **create a database** where you will execute the queries. Then initialize the objects by executing [setup script](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/Synapse/blob/master/SQL/Samples/LdwSample/SampleDB.sql) on that database. This setup script will create the data sources, database scoped credentials, and external file formats that are used to read data in these samples.

+Follow the instructions in this article to create data sources, database scoped credentials, and external file formats that are used to write data into the output storage.
 
 ## Create external table as select
 
 You can use the CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE AS SELECT (CETAS) statement to store the query results to  storage.
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> Change the first line in the query, i.e., [mydbname], so you're using the database you created. If you have not created a database, please read [First-time setup](query-data-storage.md#first-time-setup). You need to change LOCATION for MyDataSource external data source to point to location you have write permission for.
