Joomla! Documentation™

This is one of our principal "landing pages" identified from the Google Analytics data. I think you need to think about what information people are looking for when they type "Joomla database" into their search engines. I would suggest that you start off with an introduction (that we can re-use as a glossary entry), then mention which databases we support (basically just MySQL at the moment). Then add links to further documentation like the DB schema, descriptions on individual tables, links to the API reference, how-to's on using the database API classes/methods and so on.

A request

Could the new documentation please provide explanation of the three letter acronyms used in the database names?

I am new to Joomla!, and am trying to understand its capabilities regarding forms and databases. Searching "database" in the wiki search box, I landed at this page, with no other results listed, nor links from this page to other useful pages about Joomla & databases. A more general, useful search result from searching "database" would have been the http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Database page. Perhaps a link to that could be added in a "see also" list at the end of this page.
