Situation: Newbie (very)

1- using the reference manual installation was a breeze.

2- using the demo database, I was able to decipher that all happens with the  
A4D_On WebConnection. (Not surprisingly since I'm familiar with using the 4D 
web server having served web pages from my database using David Adam's 4D web 
companion)

3- again using the demo database, I was able to decipher follow the path 
structure for static pages- i.e Techniques example.

Although I can edit and change the sidebar and main data layout. I have no idea 
how place my on pages. Normally I would use Dreamweaver and then work from 
there. Here I'm faced with Fusebox.

So my first question- to have a similar series of pages that are displayed on 
the demo, do I need to learn Fusebox?

4- I need a hint, a pointer to how to integrate an existing database. How for 
example is the Vendor List showed on the web display generated from the 
database? I can see the paths call "/GET/vendors list/". I can see the view 
that will display the list. But no idea how the data gets from the actual 
database. For example-In Lightning I was use to a callback method that would 
allow me to create a series of actions. Same using 4D on web connection I was 
able to parse the URL and SEND HTML back. In this instance I need a general 
overview of what happens when the Active4D on web connection gets a call 
(either static data) or dynamic database data. Using the demo database would be 
fine. It has nice search features that I want to incorporate.
