Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask why the user data are stored in a directory and not in the database. I have been looking in the moodle documentation and still I can not find anything about it.

There is some good reason for that was done this way?

Cheers,

Juan Diego

Hi Juan

Of course user data is stored in Moodle Data Base, exactly in the table mdl_user

you can check the structure of this single table using phpmyadmin

Here is a snapshot about Structure of table mdl_user
