Hello,

What does DAO stand for and how is a DAO name made up?

I'm looking at this line

* @param string $daoName Name of the DAO (Example: CRM_Contact_DAO_Contact to retrieve value from a contact)

and while the example makes sense I'm not sure how I would know what other tables can be accessed this way. I notice looking at this one 'CRM_Member_DAO_MembershipType' that MembershipType is not the same as the table name

DAO -> Data Access Object. You might want to read more

Every table has it's own DAO.

You can call $DAOobject->getTableName(), this will give you table name.

Or

Check xml/schema/Member/MembershipType.xml

Code: [Select]

 <class>MembershipType</class>
 <name>civicrm_membership_type</name>

here 'class' = DAO class name and 'name' = db table name
