Hello Tom,

1.) What is TCA, Table Configuration Array, can be better understood if 
you read the following pages:

TCA Reference:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_tca/current/

TYPO3 Core API:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_api/4.3.2/view/

2.) By looking at the TCA for the specific plugin/tables, or using the 
menu "Configuration", and select $TCA (Table configuration array) in the 
dropdown in the top of the page. If a field og table is referenced in 
TCA, they should be displayed on that page.

Regards,
Toke
