Hello and welcome to our forums! 😃
Please check if the laminas-db component is installed. In the root of your project, check the file `composer.json` and look for the entry:
```json
"laminas/laminas-db": "^2.19.0",
```
Check also the `vendor` directory for `laminas/laminas-db`.

During the installation of the skeleton application the following step is import:
> ```bash
> Would you like to install database support (installs laminas-db)? y/N
>
> ```
>
> We _will_ be using laminas-db extensively in this tutorial, so hit “y” followed by “Enter”. You should see the following text appear:
>
> ```bash
> Will install laminas/laminas-db (^2.8.1)
> When prompted to install as a module, select application.config.php or modules.config.php
>
> ```

Can the create Process fpr laminas be repeated for an existing installation without losing existing code

This would not work because [the command `composer create-project`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#create-project) creates a new project. But this is not necessary. Have you checked if the entry for laminas-db in the `composer.json` is present?

If laminas-db is missing, [run the following command](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#require-r):
```bash
composer require laminas/laminas-db
```
