The database is mostly an implementation detail. You are mostly dealing with the CMS or with the repository. For a local development env you shouldn't need to change any configuration. For a server (production/acceptance/test) you will most likely have a real db instance and then you need to configure that. Beyond some cleanup tasks you should never need to interact with the database. The database is not shown in the console, it's just a storage system you needn't worry about.

Thank you very much for the answer, i am much clear now

If i may, i would like to ask another question, if i want to show on my homepage a table which takes data from the database, how do i connect the table to automatically take data from database ?

I assume you mean data external to the Hippo repository? In a component class you need to retrieve this data. Either through a direct call to your db or through a service. At this point you can convert this data to an object you can use on a template (eg jsp or ftl). Put that object on the request and then use it on your template. Alternatively you can use js to connect to a service (a rest service for example) and display it on your site. There really are very many ways to approach this and the details would depend on your use case and set up.

mvg,
