Where can I get a database schema for Odoo?

- Project management
- MRP

You can see that CRM Tags can be used on Sales Orders as well as Leads.
However, even a very small Odoo database contains HUNDREDS of tables. There are also INTERNAL tables for storing the User Interface, the Access Controls (Security), the Reports, etc.
It can quickly become very complicated to work with a visual representation.
It might work better to leverage the DATABASE STRUCTURE menu in Odoo (available in Developer Mode)
