I should note also that you need to be careful in your use of the term "SQL".
The term means:
Structured Query Language
This is the language used by you and your application to get data or save data in a database.
Not all SQL languages are the same. There are slight variations depending on which database you choose to use. Think of it like the variations between British, Canadian, Northern U.S. and Southern U.S. forms of English. It's basically the same language but there can be small and annoying variations.
So a generic "SQL database" is simply one that responds to a form of SQL. This includes Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQL Server.
Finally, a LOT of people mistakenly use the simple word "SQL" when what they mean is "Microsoft SQL Server Database".
So you might want to use these terms for clarity in your posts and in your conversation:
SQL language
a SQL-compliant database
Microsoft SQL Server
Finally, the thing you need to do is:
- Install a SQL-compiant database on your laptop (e.g., MySQL)
- Tell AlphaFive how to find and talk to the database by creating a "connection string"
- Create a table in the database (which Alpha will "see" via the connection string)
- and finally... do something with the tabel in a GRID or in a UX-component "LIST"
