The shape of the DB tables is an implementation detail and direct access
to the Database is not allowed (except in the case of Reports, which
exposes separate tables). The algorithms used to store data in the
repository re-calculate the table and column names for every install (to
work around issues with DB vendors and to avoid colliding with other
data in the DB). Even if the table and column names were constant and
could be easily provided, the format that the data is persisted is not
intuitive and could easily be mis-interpreted or corrupted.

What are you trying to accomplish? If I knew more about what you were
trying to do I might be able to point in a direction that doesn't
involve looking at the DB tables.
