Database tables support

    Hello development team, I’ve been using your plugin as it saved me so much time instead of writing code snippets. However there’s one thing I think is missing .
    So I’m using the plugin with wpforms where I have another platform connecting to the MySql tables your plugin is creating and making reports of the form data. But one problem I faced that I feel like won’t be a hard fix is the generated tables names, because they don’t have the form name or the table name I specify while creating the trigger, they can be a bit hard for my reporting system to handle, same goes with the column names.

    Please inform me if this fix already exists in the pro version as I will happily buy it if it does

    Hello @msrg98,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Can you share which platform you are using and what reports you are generating? Because we have already planned to create PDF action for Tablesome.

    Also, can you clarify what you mean by generated table names is not the same name as table names I specify? Do you mean the MySQL table names?

    MySQL table names are uniquely generated and so not based on user input.

    Would love to hear about your report generation process to help you.

    Hello @essekia ,
    I’m using my wpforms with wordpress to gather some medical data from my website users, and I was planning to use this data with a reporting tool (Power BI), so I connected the tool to the MySQL tables generated by your plugin, however, the MySQL table names and column names in the generated tables are not associated with the form or the table name I used when creating it, that’s why it’s been tricky for me to connect my tool to these tables because I can’t guess the table name before it is created

    @essekia You can get the table_names and column_names from post_meta table. You might need to write some wp_query() code.
