The moment you are using a database for something is the moment you should know that it’s not something that you want to create with a STATIC SITE GENERATOR. Don’t get me wrong: you probably will be able to create whatever you want to achieve with Hugo, but: do you want to? No, you don’t. A “catalogue” page is not something that you should do with Hugo.
The same way as you won’t buy a Mercedes car to play your cassette tapes.
