that was not a recommendation for TYPO3 beginners.
that is an not so easy task you want to do.

that is page TSconfig, an area to configure the appearance of the BE. 
mostly to configure the accessibility of fields or the 
reducing/enhancing of selection for fields.

workig with your own table includes always an extension. at least to 
make a new table/field known to TYPO3. If you want a rendering it is 
good style to define the rendering (Typoscript) where you define the 
fields: provide a default rendering in the same extension (static template).

This static extension template must be included in your Typoscript where 
you define rendering of the whole site.

-----
there are a lot of places where you can find typoscript. you have to 
learn which place is used for what result.
you must distinguish betweeen the different kinds of "templates" 
(Typoscript-~, HTML-~: fluid-~ / marker-~)
