where are articles stored in joomla?

Question

Sorry, this can be a newbie question.

I am going in Article Manager section of admin and I do see some articles but I want to know which is the table which stores these articles?

I simply see a lot of tables in DB but I am not able to guess which ones store the content from article manager.

Thanks.

Answer 1

jos_content is the table that holds the article. jos_ is a place holder for your actual database table prefix - which might be jos_ but isn't necessarily.

Answer 2

If you using K2 extension for joomla, which is very popular, than your articles are stored into jos_k2_items. Prefix "jos" depends of what you typed in the time of the installation of joomla CMS system on your server.
