I have a slight sensation that you do not understand quite well what you 
have asked here. Typo3 is content managment system. It is an entire 
application with a whole pile of scripts and databases that go with the 
scripts. These databases are integral part of typo3 and "working with 
them" has meaning only if you are a tyo3 developer. So unles that 
database you are talking about is actually a typo3 database (highly 
unlikley as much as I know, please correct me if I am wrong) typo3 
cannot do much with it at all. You need to clarify a little what exactly 
  do you expect of typo3 to do with your database...

 From the above I conclude that you have a genuine need to actually 
create and use your own custom database. If you need typo3 to do 
anything with data from database or tables that you have modeled you 
will most likley need to write an extension. For example if you used 
typo3 to create a site about atoms and you would like to get typo3 to 
display a database that you created to model atoms you would need to 
write an extension for that.

Now either I missunderstood you or your question is just so wague I 
could theoretize until the cows come home.
