I've tried to find a description of what tables (in MySQL) drupal create/use and what they contain but failed to find one. Does such a description exist, and if so where can I find it?

I suggested this once and got nowhere. There is a section in the handbooks that shows some of the relationships; I don't remember exactly where - probably under the developers section. To a large extent you just have to get in and dig. But you might want to start with the Site Documentation module to give you some ideas on what's there.

I was going to write a simple python script to export the entries and it would have been easier if I knew what to look for. But it didn't take too long to figure out where the entries are so I should be able to figure it out without too much trouble.
