Anki 2 DB schema

[enrico200165]

Is there a description of the DB of Anki 2 somewhere?
How does it store data in the DB fields? Sometimes it seems to store serialized data, which format is it? (know conceptually what a serialization is but never really worked with any, including json)

I am no longer a programmer and do not have time/skill for anything serious, but would like  to update some utilities I built to modify facts in Anki1.
I can only work in java.
I know that in python things would be simpler, know that python is great, simple fun and high-productivity but just do not have time to learn it.

Thanks for any info.

Hi Enrico,

I started this documentation a few months ago:
http://decks.wikia.com/wiki/Anki_APKG_format_documentation

Right now it is APKG-oriented, but it also contains some collection info.

Feel free to add the missing information, it is a wiki! :-)

Thanks for getting involved!

FYI, I added a new wiki page with more details on the meaning of the fields in the database:

https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Database-Structure

around half of it is copied from existing material some people added to a gist, the rest it I have filled in from my own knowledge, looking at the source code, and discussions with Damien
