"Database type" - have another meaning. It is not linked to .NET type string.
You question shows that your not ready to "iterate" in Database.
Sorry.
Try to find in google something "How to connect to DB and read the table".
Sure you will find many step-by step videos.

Yeah, but did you copy and paste the code from somewhere or do you REALLY understand how it works?

The database provider determines how you get lists of the database objects. For instance in SQL you query sys.tables to get a list of the tables - NOTE: You must be either the table owner or have permissions to see a table for it to be listed.
Google will help identifying how to get a list of tables in a database - for instance; https://www.google.com.au/search?q=sql+list+tables+in+database&oq=sql+determine+tables+in+&aqs

Somehow I doubt that, based on your question.

"I have a picture of a Ferrari. How do I open the doors so that I can get in it and drive it to work?"

You can't assign a string variable to a variable of another type unless that type defines an implicit conversion operator. Your Database class does not.

You will need to look at and understand the code to work out how to create an instance of the Database class for a specific database name.
