Browse Source 
In short, this makes Synapse a 2nd class citizen,
preparing for a future where it's just one-of-many homeserver software

You can then proceed to write queries. Example: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users;`
**Be careful**. Modifying the database directly (especially as services are running) is dangerous and may lead to irreversible database corruption.
