How to connect Drupal with database?

To connect Drupal with a database, you will need to do the following:

1. Install and enable the Drupal database driver for your database server. This will usually involve downloading a module and enabling it in your Drupal site. For example, to connect to a MySQL database, you will need to install and enable the "MySQL - Drupal Database Driver" module.
2. Configure the database connection settings in your Drupal site. To do this, you will need to provide the following information:

• Database server hostname: The hostname of the server where the database is located. This can be an IP address or a domain name.
• Database server port: The port number used by the database server to listen for incoming connections.
• Database name: The name of the database that you want to connect to.
• Database username and password: The login credentials for the database user that you want to use to connect to the database.

1. Save your database connection settings and test the connection.

Once you have completed these steps, Drupal should be able to connect to the database and use it to store and retrieve data.

It's also worth noting that you will need to have the necessary permissions to create and modify databases on the database server, as well as access to a database management tool (such as phpMyAdmin) in order to create and manage the databases and tables needed by your Drupal site.
