The database is not stored in a folder, and sometimes the database and files reside on different servers. If you backup the database from ACP, then a copy will be stored in admin\backups\...
The database it not stored within a folder however will be installed within SQL. I suggest installing PHPMyadmin to be able to manage your databases easier rather than accessing them via CLI.
Thank you. offcourse.
my question was not so clever.

It's true that the DB is stored on the file system however it may only be accessed through MySQL Software. The easiest way to get started is to use phpmyadmin or adminer. If you install phpmyadmin from the cli it will automatically configure php with the needed extensions for MySQL so it's pretty nice Smile
