@ajithd6368
1. On your screen place two TextInput controls and name them txtFirstName and txtLastName
2. Add a button and name it btnAdd. For the OnSelect Property use
Collect(colMyItems,{FirstName:txtFirstName.Text,LastName:txtLastName.Text})
3. Add a Gallery to your screen and name it galMyItems. For the Items Property use:
colMyItems

To access your Data. You could either use now the collection "colMyItems" or galMyItems.AllItems

Re: create a database/tables to access/insert using a canvas app

Hi @ajithd6368 ,

Could you please share more details about your scenario? What is your data source now for the app? If you don't an existing table as the data source, you will need to create one. There are many kinds of data source supported in Power Apps Canvas such as Excel worksheets/SharePoint lists/Dataverse, etc. Please refer to below official doc to understand data source:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/working-with-data-sources

In short words, you need to have or create new tables then create Canvas Apps to "connect" to those tables and use them as data source for specific Controls.

Hope this helps.
