Development:Database_schema_introduction gives a high level overview of the database schema. Because of Moodle’s modular nature, there is no single, detailed representation of the full database schema. Instead, the tables for each part of Moodle are defined in a database-neutral XML format, see XMLDB, in each part of Moodle. Look for files called install.xml in folders called db throughout the code. Alternatively, from Moodle 2.0 onwards, go to Administration -> Development -> XMLDB editor, and use the [Doc] links to see automatically generated documentation built form the comments in the install.xml files.
