What is your exact requirement? I hope you know the concept of Form in alfresco share properly through this links

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms_Examples

Meta data are finally going to saved in the db only.
So, you need to explain your exact requirement.

Thinks my problem that is im not able to create a form and information will be saved in database after i submit my form, in the wiki i found that we can add some data input in a form of description and it still in the metada of a document ! means a metadata form !

It is possible to create a form ? not to create a new content type.

Let me understand. You want to store some information right but that information must be related to something right?
Please explain your usecase.
Generally the metadata is nothing but properties attached to the content so metadata form is nothing but the edit properties page.When we edit those properties and save it goes to the db.
So, center of everything is content now I think in your case you do not have any content right?
