These tables are generally associated with keeping track of user data and statistics in a standard (core) Drupal database. We can loosely divide these tables into short-term (eg. the current session) and long-term (history and statistics). Please refer to the database documentation for progress on a detailed database schema and data dictionary.

Short-term

cache
Data may be cached to speed up page loading, especially for anonymous visitors.
flood
For tracking how often the contact page (and other resources) are used.
sessions
Data related to the user's visit to the site.

Long-term

accesslog
Record of general visitor access statistics.
history
Record of page (node) visits per user.
watchdog
Modules can record events here. These events range from quite normal activities to serious problems.
