Where does a Facebook user likes have been stored when using django_facebook and django-celery?

I am developing a Facebook canvas application. I'm a little bit confused on the process of storing a user's likes using the frameworks django_facebook and CELERY. I have set FACEBOOK_CELERY_STORE = True in my settings.py. and add app djcelery in my INSTALLED_APPS

@facebook_required(canvas=True)
def home(request,graph):

    facebook = FacebookUserConverter(graph)

    print "facebooklikes",facebook.get_likes() //This lists out all the likes of users

Where does these user's likes stored? There are many celery tables in my MySQL database. But not any of them have stored these data.

Likes are not stored with this method, and Celery is not used for intermediate data processing. Data is requested from Facebook API and returned to you.

Likes can be stored with get_and_store_likes or store_likes methods, where Celery is used for asyncronous calls and inbetween data storage. At the end of a call, likes will be stored in FacebookLike model. Likes will be stored one record per a user like, from user_id to facebook_id field.

As a consequence, a table you are looking for is named django_facebook_facebooklike.

I found django-facebook package poorly documented, so no link to the docs. One can consult source code for details.
