How Does Google Index your Database

Is Google is able to index a database without querying it?

Hello

It is observed Google is able to index values in database, without querying it.

How does it do it?

Can we increase the crawling of database content or slow it down, if yes, how?

Also Google is able to index search results present on external website. How is this possible?

No. Google indexes the HTML page content returned when they request a URL from a site.

Google discovers those URLs from links on pages that they already know about on your own and on other sites.

This HTML page you are reading is built from user and post data held in a database. The forum scripting builds the HTML page that you see. The URL for the page is on the forum index page. Google will find this URL there, then later return and request this thread by its URL.
