# Is TablePress SQL Server Compatible?

 * Does TablePress support SQL Server? We have it installed, but it appears to be
   using MySQL formatted SQL. We have the WordPress database abstraction plug-in
   installed and configured, but based on the SQL being logged, it appears the SQL
   issues by TablePress is somehow not going through this database abstraction layer.
   We know the WordPress and other plug-ins are using the abstraction layer due 
   to the SQL logged by the sqlsvr component.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * TablePress does not use any direct SQL queries (the only place maybe is the WordPress
   search, where it modifies a query slightly).
    All data is retrieved/stored via
   existing WordPress APIs, to those should be mapped internally. Are you experiencing
   any problems with TablePress?

 * Knowing that TablePress is using the WordPress APIs was helpful. I went back 
   into the SQL Server abstraction layer and determined that the function that strips
   off the single quotes from the column names was executing too early in the process.
   The code was refactored and the TablePress SQL was modified correctly.
