Where is the database

[DaniloNovakovic]

@jasperliinla2020 For SQL (database for commands), in the default configuration appsettings.json file, the database is configured to be generated automatically using the Code-First approach on the localdb instance which you can access through Visual Studio.

If you wish to change the location of your database then you need to change the connection string in the previously mentioned file (tables & data should be automatically created/seeded when you first start application with your new connection string).

The same goes for MongoDB (database for queries) - the default location is also localhost (requires MongoDB to be installed on your local machine by default) which you can access by either a command line or, preferably, through GUI software like MongoDB Compass

In summary: Just set up the configuration strings in appsettings.json and databases should be generated automatically when you start up the application, otherwise, they will be located on your local machine by default 😊
