Hi friends of Drupal,
is there somewhere a document or some information about the database-structure inside Drupal?
I would like to convert from web-app (http://www.web-app.org) and suppose noone has written a conversion tool yet.
Any bits information are valued! :-)

Database structure
The database structure can be hard to understand if you don't know the inner workings of Drupal. Users are relatively simple, but the forum uses the taxonomy system for the forum structure, and the node system for content/posts.
