6,092 PointsWordpress Database - How Does It Work?
I might have missed it, but is there any Treehouse tutorial on how the WP database actually works?
I'm a bit confused as to how the data is stored and retrieved from the database.
I'm a database noob, so any pointers would be great!

Course - Using PHP with MySQL.

6,092 PointsYup, I'm still not a WP pro but I definitely can't see me getting there unless I know the ins and outs of the WP database....I hope one of the MODs sees this so we know it gets on their radar!
