Joomla add component to database

I'm just starting out on a component for Joomla. I can't figure out how to add an entry in the dB so I can access the component.

I looked at the dB table for components, but some of the columns seem to require some specific info.

This is NOT a finished component, but a new one I want to build.

I am using Joomla 1.7.

take care, lee

As Jogesh_p suggested, the easy way is to create an xml file like this http://docs.joomla.org/Components:xml_installfile

If you are just starting out with Joomla development then take a look at the Hello World tutorial. http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29_Component_for_Joomla!2.5_-_Part_01

Another option to create a Joomla component quickly is to use EasyCreator, which will create the basic parts of the extension that you can then build on.
