    What sort of database are you talking about, do you have one in mind?
    A quick solution would be to store the players name using PlayerPrefs.
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. if( !PlayerPrefs.HasKey( "player-name" ) )
    3. {
    4.     // Show the enter your name GUI  
    5. }
    6. ..........
    7. // To assign the name
    8. PlayerPrefs.SetString( "player-name", "player1" );
    9.  
    Take a look at the UI tutorials for creating your text box, you will want to use an Input field.

    Well you would need to check your db to see if a value has been saved for your player, if it has then don't show the text box. You could use the PlayerPrefs to store a flag to indicate this so you don't have to check the db each time.

    You will need to make a query to your db then at the start.

    I thought that this will be better to make a query to check if it empty or no
