Sharepoint App - How to build a form that writes fields from a web/sharepoint app into a SQL database directly

I want to build a form for an application in Sharepoint that takes in simple pieces of data (10 at total, some dropdown selections, and some free entry) and writes them into the SQL database.  

I could easily build the form to take pieces of data and turn it into something to print, but we want to get more sophisticated now and write this data into a database so that we can report on it.  

Can anyone recommend a tool to build this, or an application in Sharepoint that this kind of form can ride on top of?  

Thanks!

You can also try Sharepoint Designer. Create the form in Designer and then configure a connection to the database under Data Source Library.  Expand  the table fields under Data Source Details, choose the fields you want to add to the form and then click the Insert selected fields as option and you can choose

Multiple Item View
Single Item Form
