Everything that you do in Tiki, from writing wiki pages to changing the site theme, is stored in the MySQL database. There are no "flat" files or configuration files in Tiki. As a result, you can manipulate all of the objects in Tiki (pages, files, etc.) without actually using Tiki; just the database.
This section includes information on how to edit your database to customize your Tiki site, as well as how to use the database from within Tiki.
{NOTE()}This section is not a training class on how to use MySQL or write database queries. Refer to http://www.mysql.com for complete information about MySQL.{NOTE}
The MySQL database powers your Tiki.
