I am attempting to create a wpDataTable using a typical SQL command. I have WP datatables linked to my MYSQL database table, and I am interested in getting the most recent 5 entries in a table. In my database I use the following SQL command to do this:
SELECT * FROM `Motorx1` ORDER BY `Motorx1`.`id` DESC LIMIT 5

Please note some this when working with the server-side processing feature:
Please do not use “LIMIT” in the SELECT statement. wpDataTables adds it automatically and it will be overridden.
Please do not use “ORDER BY” in the SELECT statement. wpDataTables has its own sorting engine, so it makes no sense to use MySQL’s sorting, since it will be overridden. Also, server-side processing feature adds this part of the statement automatically when users trigger the sorting on the front-end, and having it in the initial statement may cause the table to crash.
You can use this query:
SELECT * FROM Motorx1 ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5
if you disable "server-side processing" on the "Data Source" tab above the table:
