Working with Databases
======================
> Note: This section is under development.
In this section, we will describe how to create a new page to display data fetched from a database table.
To achieve this goal, you will create an [action](structure-controllers.md), a [view](structure-views.md),
and an [Active Record](db-active-record.md) model that can be used to fetch and represent database data.
To achieve this goal, you will configure the database connection, create an [Active Record](db-active-record.md) class
to fetch and represent database data, and then create an [action](structure-controllers.md) and
a [view](structure-views.md) to present the data to end users.
Through this tutorial, you will learn
* How to configure database connections;
* How to configure DB connections;
* How to define an Active Record class;
* How to query data using the Active Record class;
* How to display data in a view in a paginated fashion.
Note that in order to finish this section, you should have basic knowledge and experience about databases.
You should know how to create a database and how to execute SQL statements using a DB client tool.
Configuring a Database Connection
---------------------------------
To start, you should have a database ready. It can be a SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL or Oracle database.
For simplicity, in the following description, we will assume that you already have a MySQL database named `basic`.
Create a table named `address` and insert some sample data. The SQL statements are showing as follows,
```sql
CREATE TABLE `address` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`street` varchar(128),
`city` varchar(128),
`state` varchar(128),
`country` varchar(128)
);
```

Working with Forms
==================
> Note: This section is under development.
In this section, we will describe how to create a new page to get data from users.
The page will display a form with a name input field and an email input field.
After getting these data from a user, the page will echo them back to the user for confirmation.
