Well I want to develop a small program which load a xml file(which contain the data) and automatically load all the data from the file and insert the data in the database
I've been trying to understand how exactly moodle works, I want to know what happen when I add a new user, a new course, a new category. I want to know wich tables change and how they change when I add a user, course, category

Coud you help me?

Turn on logging of every query in your database, then perform those actions in the Moodle UI and watch what happens.

Either that, or read the code carefully.

Also look at the upload users script in the admin screens.

Is there a reason why you cannot use the API to load your data from XML?
