Open fan/Settings.fan. In the main method, and add a db setting like this

using tales
class Settings : tales::Settings{
  override Void main(){
    add(DbSetting{
      hostString = "connnecton string"
      driver = "Driver class"
      username = "username"
      password = "password"
    })
  }
}

Change the driver, user name and password and host-string to match you database. Make sure you've added the driver jar to fan/lib/java/ext. For ex. if you use mysql.

1. Copy mysql-xx driver.jar to fan/lib/java/ext/
2. add the following setting

   add(DbSetting{
   	hostString = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db"
   	driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
   	username = "username"
   	password = "password"
   })
