Ajar Ameen, unfortunately, we don't have a diagram showing how tables are connected.

But may be you will find useful for you our Crash course https://docs.oxwall.org/dev:crash-course#using-forms .
Also I may suggest  you to download our new Plugin Skeleton plugin to see how to use this or that function. Here is URL to the Store item: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/695

Or do you have a particular question, particular database component you are interested in?

Anyway you can build a map to files, i am trying to produce an exposed API which returns elements in JSON so i can build a mobile app, also i am trying to integrate XMPP, it would be helpful to add a function on account creation that uses openfire API to create an account there as well... i would use a token system but it is much easier to just use the existing interface to change user setting and keep the XMPP separate from oxwall.... 


not sure if this is off topic but this map was the closest thing i have found so far to what i am looking for.

Cool idea... but no sir, file level would be way too much for me..  I was considering doing something with a basic plugin structure to go along with the skeleton plugin just to show the relationship of plugin files to each other but that will be down the road if i do it.

Well i wouldn't mind helping, mind you i need to finish the documentation. Otherwise i'll be blind.

Guys, you can find all documentation we have for now here: http://docs.oxwall.org/dev:index .
Be sure we understand  how important to provide developers with sufficient documentation. But creating documentation for Oxwall is not a month or two process, it requires  much more time and effort and we're working on it.
