Where do I change the name from "Database Default" to something else?

From the screenshot, I am guessing that you are trying to open a dataset without having it configured.

By working with the Master-Detail example, you will get a better idea of how that works.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you get it.. you will probably find it works quite well.

The EWB chapter on 'Using Databases' has quite a bit of good background information.

If you are using the default database, then you need to change the database name in code in the OnCreate event handler for the main form:

procedure TForm1.Form1Create(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Database.DatabaseName:='TestDB';
  Database.LoadRows(Customers);
end;

If you plan on having a lot of datasets, then it might be better for you to create a separate TDatabase instance and use that instead.  You can define the database/datasets in the Database Manager and then drag/drop the database from the Database Manager into the Project Manager (Units section).

This is covered in the manual:
