I’ll quickly go through how to get a database up and running, access the data and update the data.
For this sample, we’ll be creating a quick application to track kilometers for a car. We are basically going to have a Car class, and a car will have a collection of Kilometer Entry Items.

I’ll take the long way as you have more control and see what is going on and so you learn more IMO. First we have to create our model and will essentially look like this (NOTE: This is not an extensive Kilometer tracking application, just a sample, feel free to extend, make better and sell on marketplace
