Normally you don't have to directly examine or manipulate the BOINC database. If you need to, you can use the MySQL command-line interpreter.
The database tables are as follows: "; list_start(); list_item("platform", "Compilation targets of the core client and/or applications."); list_item("app", "Applications. The core client is treated as an application; its name is 'core_client'."); list_item("app_version", "Versions of applications. Each record includes a URL for downloading the executable, and the MD5 checksum of the executable. "); list_item("user", "Describes users, including their email address, name, web password, and authenticator. "); list_item("host", "Describes hosts. "); list_item("workunit", "Describes workunits. The input file descriptions are stored in an XML document in a blob field. Includes counts of the number of results linked to this workunit, and the numbers that have been sent, that have succeeded, and that have failed. "); list_item("result", "Describes results. Includes a 'state' (whether the result has been dispatched). Stores a number of items relevant only after the result has been returned: CPU time, exit status, and validation status. "); list_end(); page_tail(); ?>
