Hi Angela,
You will need to access the database, ideally having a local copy on your
laptop and using GUI tools i.e. Pgadmin, Navicat for PostgresSQl or other
tools will allow you to access the backend. From there the names for the
tables can serve as a guide e.g. datalement for dataelements, dataset for
datasets, e.t.c For data, DHIS2 uses the "long and skinny" or EAV model so
the dataelement,Source(orgunit),category (i.e. meta data) are stored
together with  the data in the datavalues table.
In case of any question regarding writing sql queries please free to get in
touch with me.
