If it's <https://github.com/azerothcore/mod-npc-buffer>, the only thing it does with the database is creating the NPC.

In many ways, dbc files are very similar to sql database. Each .dbc file is basically a table, with rows and columns just like in the db. If you get relatively familiar with browsing around the db, then moving on to .dbc editing is just a matter of learning the tools and referencing documentation on the files

WDBX Editor is the most common for .dbc files. However, if you're only working with spells, there is Stoneharry's Spell Editor (or just Spell Editor for short) which is much more intuitive and helpful than just straight editing the dbc with WDBX

Also, for many .dbc edits, you need to create a client patch so that your changes are reflected not only server-side,. but also for the client. This is done quite easily with Ladik's MPQ Editor to create a patch.mpq and put the modified .dbc into it (specifically into a folder name DBFilesClient within the mpq) (note, i think spell editor does this for you actually)
