Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] db schema for phpGW

[Dan Kuykendall (Seek3r)]

One thing to keep in mind is that unless you plan to work on the
phpgwapi, many of the tables dont matter to you. All data should be
accessed via the given objects/functions.

Ditto with many of the apps tables. However in general you are right. A
good set of diagrams would be useful. Even to the core developers who
cant remember everything (even tho we realize we are "supposed" to know
all)
