WP Data Access is a WordPress plugin that gives you access to any database table

== Description ==
WP Data Access gives you access to any database table and view with just a few mouse clicks. Works on the back-end with WP_List_Table and on the front-end with jQuery DataTables. Tables are generated dynamically based on mysql metadata (no coding required). Plugin settings allow you to grant or revoke access to specific tables (back-end and front-end use seperate settings).

### Features

* Generate list tables for back-end (generate code or use plugin class to write your own)
* Generate HTML tables for front-end (by shortcode)

#### Features back-end list tables

Adding a list table to your back-end has never been so easy. The following actions on list tables can be enabled or disabled on the settings page: view, insert, update, delete, export, import, search and screen options. WP Data Access list tables are build on WP_List_Table class to support standard WordPress list table layout and interaction. Menus for generated list tables can be added to your WordPress website, plugin or theme with or without coding.

#### Features front-end HTML tables

Tables can be added to your front-end with a shortcode in the text editor or with the wizard supported in the visual editor. Tables are dynamically build using jQuery DataTables. Different layouts are supported. Allows styling with CSS. Provides search and pagination functionality.
