Kinda new to this stuff so apologies if my questions is not very good, or vague

I have a temperature sensor but I have been asked to make sure that readings taken by the sensor are written to a database. How do I make that connection between the database and the sensor?

Thanks

What I have tried:

Not much found from a google search, or on manuals for sensor

You don't unless your sensor can connect to a database, which is doubtful. You make the connection to your database from your application.

"You make the connection to your database from your application"

okay so how can I go about doing this?

You google "how to connect to your database engine for your platform and programming language". I would have no idea what database engine you are using or platform or programming language you are using.

Writing to the database is the easy part, you do it with a sql INSERT statement : SQL INSERT INTO Statement[^]

The hard parts are :
1) What kind of database you are using, (sqlite, sql server, mysql, non relational ...) ?
2) What programming language you are using?
3) What is the temp sensor hardware?
4) How you connect to the sensor hardware?
5) Is the code going to run on the hardware or not?
...

All of which you have not specified, hence your question is not answerable.

Try asking the question from who ever told you to do the project.
