The esoTalk database schema refers to the database structure used by esoTalk and its derivative project esoBB. The forum software uses a relatively simple database structure categorized into the separate categorical aspects of a basic forum. The tables are as follows: conversations, logins, members, posts, searches, shouts, status and tags. Each table contains a primary or borrowed key which is used to reference the conversation or post number (conversationId and postId respectively) and member (memberId).

The forum software relies upon a relational SQL-based database system in order to manage members, conversations and posts. The software officially supports MySQL and MariaDB; other MySQL-based softwares are known to work.
