You should look at this doc : https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/sqlite3/index.html

I was using sql database previously, but I notice a lag when doing queries. I have stopped using SQL and now put all the data in a BIG TABLE instead.

You have a lot of moving parts.  There are tutorials for most all of this at: https://coronalabs.com/resources/tutorials/getting-started-with-corona/

First learn how to do buttons. 

Then learn how to do text input. 

Learn about tables. 

Learn how to display content on the screen.

Then learn how to create, read and update SQL databases.

This topic isn’t one that is going to be easily answered in the forums in a single topic.
