The `data_stores` are classes that talk directly to a single +database and have associated schemas, background updates, etc. On top of those +there are (or will be) classes that provide high level interfaces that combine +calls to multiple `data_stores`. + +There are also schemas that get applied to every database, regardless of the +data stores associated with them (e.g. the schema version tables), which are +stored in `synapse.storage.schema`. |
