How to use northwind?

I read this document on Demo Kit. At last, shouldn't I add a new path in neo-app.json?

And if I connect to northwind successfully, can I create my own table instead of using the demo models such as products, employees in it?

Actually, I just want to make a simplest database table that I can use in my UI5 app. Even a local database is good. I just want to persistent the data of my model in my laptop, database, etc.

Thank you!

Yes, I proposed the same a few months ago, yet the issue still persists. That page seems to be still in work-in-progress (Update: It's fixed now).

Nevertheless, I described the steps in detail here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53878337/5846045.
Let me know if something is missing or unclear.

Unfortunately no. The Northwind service is from OASIS / odata.org and read-only.

Alternatively, every SAP Gateway system comes with a sample OData service implementation (See doc here) which you can manipulate and play around with as long as you own permission to do so. For trial customers without license, SAP provides ES5 demo system. See the blog post New SAP Gateway Demo System available by Former Member

You can try SAP Cloud Platform Trail Version. It has all needed features for demo purpose.

Thanks for your information. I tried that database, but I did not find out how to use it.
