Wordpress - where are custom field saved?

I have created some custom field - the custom field is displayed correctly in the WordPress admin section but I cannot find them in the database.

Any idea where custom field are saved? I could not find my custom field in the post data in wp_posts table.

Custom field data saved in the wp_postmeta table. Best way to access custom field is using wordpress built-in functions.

for example:

<?php
 $mykey_values = get_post_custom_values('my_key');
 foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) {
     echo "$key  => $value ('my_key')<br />";
 }
?>

0 => First value ('my_key')

1 => Second value ('my_key')

2 => Third value ('my_key')

You will get more information about accessing custom field in this link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields
