    Hello,

    there is a very annoying issue.

    From time to time, when i update the sorting criteria of a wpdatatable build with a mysql query, the back-end freezes and the all columns formatting is destroyed. I have to build a new table from scratch to solve the problem.

    This is very annoying and a big waste of time.

    Waiting for your answer

    Best regards

    Hello Gloria.

    Your query seems a bit long, so that could be causing the issue. I can't say for sure since I can't see it in its entirety, but it could very well be the cause of the issue.

    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 are disabled for security reasons.

    Filtering, sorting, and search may not work properly if you include:

    • Accent graves ( ` ) around the table name
    • JOIN functions
    • UNION functions
    • CONCAT functions
    • sub-queries

    You can try preparing a MySQL view (which will return the data that you need, call it e.g. “view1” and then build a wpDataTables based on a simple query like "SELECT * FROM view1″.

    Kind Regards,
