I actually used Drupal's db schema to port a Drupal/PHP website to run on ColdFusion.... Uses alot of tables tho.

Your best bet is to download Joomla or Mambo or something similar and just
look at their database tables, do some changes, and see how they're handling
it. I mean, I hate to say it, but reverse engineering is the way to go here.
Some of these systems are fairly tried and true and you'd be best off just
digging through their schemas, code, etc.

thanks guys. But my issue is not exactly about Joomla or any CMS for
that matter. Steven, I read that doc on wikipedia before I posted here. What
i want is some sort of diagram or doc explaining what or how the cfm or htm
page gets created by using the info which is iam 100% sure stored somewhere
in the database. So when the user requests index3.cfm, index3.cfm is actually
created using values from the db cols like bgcolor, font and the main
content, I believe is brought from another table and so on. I need details
like these.
anyone out there with these high level details??? or can you guide me
to a doc/link.
thanks,
Ajas.

for your last question:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system
not sure how Joomla works, they are all pretty much the same
also there is a manual for joomla:
http://help.joomla.org/images/User_manual/user_manual_v1%200%201_10%2021
%2006.pdf
that may help.
