Can the integration with an external database (MySQL or Postgres) be used to update/insert to the database? So if I set up a connect that queries a database and displays the table in Wordpress. Can I have the WpData table editable so that upon changing a value in that table, would update the value in the database?
Some of them (Update and Insert, for example) are disabled for security reasons.
With wpDataTables, you're able to pull the data from the database, and edit the data if you have a unique auto-increment column in the database table, but you cannot insert or update the table through the query.

Hello Sean
Thank you for your interest in the plugin, and sorry for the late response.
Our logic is based on a PHP SQL parser which has full support for the SQL dialect for the following statement types
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, REPLACE, RENAME, SHOW, SET, DROP, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TABLE, EXPLAIN and DESCRIBE.
Some of them (Update and Insert, for example) are disabled for security reasons.
