Hi I am new to nextjs 13 with server components. I already have a postgres server, am I supposed to connect to the database inside my server component?

A bit confused right now. I have a proper connection url to my db.

You can see default examples how to fetch stuff via a server component here: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching

I usually use prisma as my ORM. For next, you'll also have to add the globalThis config
