Database Configuration

Laravel simplifies database interaction by allowing you to configure database connections within the .env file and the config/database.php file. The .env file stores sensitive information like database credentials, while config/database.php defines the available database connections and their default settings. You can specify the database driver (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite), host, port, database name, username, and password. Laravel supports multiple database connections, enabling you to interact with different databases within the same application.
