Horizon has (thus far) been designed to avoid requiring a persistent storage 
backend such as a database, so you won't find any code in there to do that.

That said, Horizon is built on Django, and Django has a phenomenal ORM which 
works with most common database backends. Building a Django model for your data 
and integrating that with your Horizon installation is totally fair game. See 
Django's documentation for examples there.

However I would advise against using the same database as Nova unless you 
actually need to do JOINs between the tables. Better to keep a clean separation 
otherwise.

All the best,

Subject: [Openstack] Inserting into custom tables from horizon.

Hi,
I want to create a new custom table in nova database and insert data into that 
table from Openstack Dashboard, by creating some custom fields.
I am not able to find any SQL executions in the source code, as it is using 
django framework, which is similar to MVC architecture.
Can anyone point me where can I start doing that?
