Tell us what you are trying to do? Access Toolset data, directly through database. Which database tables contain Toolset custom post type information.

Is there any documentation that you are following? Nope

Is there a similar example that we can see? Nope

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Toolset is used here: hidden link

Custom post types, custom fields (aka post meta), and custom taxonomies are all stored in the standard WordPress tables.

Under the hood Toolset uses normal WordPress functions such as register_post_type and update_post_meta to store data.

Toolset creates a number of custom tables to store post relationship data (readily identified because they are named with toolset), or maps caching data, but these should ordinarily be accessed via the Toolset APIs rather than directly.

Follow up question: If editing the database directly isn't a great option, how would you suggest we bulk update our custom post-type data? Thank you!
