We recommend that you use phpMyAdmin to take a quick look at the structure of the database. Unfortunately, from TYPO3 version 4.0, it is no longer included, so you have to install it first. Also, your TYPO3 has to be configured so that installations of global extensions are permitted. You can find the appropriate settings in the installation tool under All Configuration. Enable the checkbox in the [allowGlobalInstall] array. Now you can install the phpMyAdmin extension. After installation, the phpMyAdmin menu item is available under Tools.

cache_* |
