### 󠀁[Excellent plugin for custom table handling and no code apps](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-for-custom-table-handling-and-no-code-apps/)󠁿

I have been using WP Data Access for over a year to provide the core of the migration
of my martial arts club’s new management platform, migrating from an aging SQL Server/.
NET application. This is an excellent plugin providing a great way to handle some
complex custom tables and relationahsip, and providing front end application building.
I would also like to highlight the excellent support. As expected with any complex
use case I have encounter a few issues and bugs, however the team have been responsive
and professional in working to resolve these. Thoroughly recommended.

### 󠀁[Amazing Plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-plugin-2855/)󠁿

WP Data Access is an incredible tool for creating an Administration panel of any
local or remote database. It instantly adds CRUD capabilities to any database table.
I use WP Data Access to display a PhpList database table of users in a WordPress
admin panel. It gives me quick insight to subscribed users by building a bridge –
without writing any code. A must-have tool for developers and shop owners!

The plugin itself works fine but they follow this new trend where you BREAK your
plugin on update, just to get the attention of the admin, trying to persuade you
to opt into more data sharing. Guys, this is REALLY VERY BAD. For a rich site with
100+ plugins, it’s extremely user unfriendly to let the user wonder what plugin 
might still work after a normal upgrade!Shame on you.Other than that, great plugin,
so it’s even more of a pity that you have decided to abandon your users like that.

If you want to access a DB from your WP site… Don’t search any more. This is all
you need.

We’re a small enterprise working with Microsoft software and we’re hosting our database
on MS SQL Server. Instead of spending tens of thousands of euros on building an 
app for the customers, we managed to build a seamless integration of our SQL Server
database to WordPress with this powerful plugin, which gives us all the flexibility
we could imagine.Their support is very professional and quick to respond, even when
there were some upgrades to be made to the plugin itself. I would definitely recommend
this plugin to anyone looking into data management or connecting different types
of databases to WordPress!

 [johans](https://profiles.wordpress.org/johanselbing/) 11 grudnia 2024

For building my own product and client database, I looked into several plugins. 
In the end, WP Data Access offered exactly everything I needed in one package (data
table builder, form builder, REST API, PDF export, customized themes) for a very
affordable price, with the possibility of a lifetime license payment. The documentation
is not completely up to date, and sometimes not very explanatory, but that can be
solved by reading up on SQL. Highly recommended, also for database amateurs like
me!
