 * Hi TobiasBg
 * Thank you for creating this very excellent and free TablePress plugin. I know
   this may be asking for too much but if TablePress could work with external database
   souce that would be great. That is, TablePress works directly with the data in
   table(s) in external database source via SQL query entered by the user. Adding,
   modifying and deleting the data in the tables in the external database source.
   A lot of WordPress tables plugins like WpDataTables, Data Tables Generator by
   Supsystic, Ninja Tables, etc., have such a feature although it is not free.
 * Thank you very much once again

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I see what you mean, but at this time, I don’t have plans to add support for 
   SQL queries, sorry.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
