Laravel has made processing with database very easy. Laravel currently supports following 4 databases −
- MySQL
- Postgres
- SQLite
- SQL Server
The query to the database can be fired using raw SQL, the fluent query builder, and the Eloquent ORM. To understand the all CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations with Laravel, we will use simple student management system.
Connecting to Database
Configure the database in config/database.php file and create the college database with structure in MySQL as shown in the following table.
Database: College
Table: student
| Column Name | Column Datatype | Extra |
|---|---|---|
| Id | int(11) | Primary key | Auto increment |
| Name | varchar(25) |
We will see how to add, delete, update and retrieve records from database using Laravel in student table.
| Sr.No. | Record & Description |

| 1 | Insert RecordsWe can insert the record using the DB facade with insert method. |
| 2 | Retrieve RecordsAfter configuring the database, we can retrieve the records using the DB facade with select method. |
