TablePress + relational tables?

    The concept of TablePress is very interesting. However, there doesn’t seem to be a method of handling related data files/tables.

    Is that correct?

    TIA.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    That’s correct. TablePress is not intended to be a full database management system replacement and does not have such sophisticated feature.
    I assume you are looking for something like JOIN queries on your table data?

    Thanks, Tobias.
    You are correct. Join queries to avoid incredibly wide “flat” files.
    I can solve my problem….just not in WordPress.
    Regardless, TablePress is a very impressive plugin.
    Congrats Tobias.

    Hi,

    good to hear that you like TablePress! 🙂

    Here, TablePress will not be of help with that, sorry. But why don’t you use SQL queries directly then? You could use the wpdb class in some custom PHP code?

    Best wishes,

    Yes, the wpdb class is an option. I’ll probably end up using a PHP app generator and running the results on a sub-folder or sub-domain.

    Thanks.
