Default Know Your Database

Just for new people starting out, who may be planning on learning about editing their own server,
I try to encourage people to spend some time getting to know all the tables in the database.
Just simply open them all up and take a peek at them, then as you're learning how to edit,
Sometimes, you won't have to ask that infamous question "Where do I find ....."
WARNING: I would strongly advise you NOT to do anything within these tables until you
have the knowledge to do some editing safely. One little "typo" in the wrong place can screw
your database/server right up, and/or prevent something from functioning properly. And as always,
backup your database, before any edits.

Pro tip:

When modifying database tables, always make a copy/backup of said table in the event of things going horribly wrong.

Easy as hell using navicat to copy/paste a table to fix fuck ups.
