 * I have a database in SQL Server Management Studio 2012, and I would like to display/
   automatically update that data in a table in WordPress. However, I don’t know
   how to do this with TablePress. Can someone help me out? Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * Unfortunately, I have bad news here: Connecting TablePress to custom SQL databases/
   tables is not possible. TablePress can only use its own storage as a “Custom 
   Post Type” in the WordPress database.
 * To use data in your own DB, you’ll need to develop a custom solution, as a custom
   plugin that queries the DB with PHP.
    If you want, you can then manually add 
   the sorting, etc. functions by integrating the DataTables JS library from [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net).
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Is there any possibility of a future extension to get this kind of thing done?

 * Hi,
 * no, sorry, I do not have such plans, as this is a very special requirement that
   not many users of TablePress would ever need.
 * I have recently found a commercial WordPress plugin that can be used to access
   databases: [http://themes.karaliki.ru/wpdatatables/](http://themes.karaliki.ru/wpdatatables/)
   
   I have no affiliation or experience with that, and I don’t know if MSSQL tables
   work, but maybe it’s helpful.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
