I expect a tool like that to access ALL the tables of the db… ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef32180fbd373aeb313b815272b56a70b029ab168c75d434438be5cd1512c1ed? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Makes it incredibly simple to connect to your external database](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/makes-it-incredibly-simple-to-connect-to-your-external-database/)󠁿 [aaacopy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aaacopy/) September 3, 2016 It’s a breeze to use and set up.
