Hello, I have a table that makes a query in SQL on two different tables.
It works correctly, but the filters do not.
Can't I apply filters to queries for multiple tables?
Thanks in advance
Javi
Hello,
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:
-
So, first you can check for accent graves around the table name, if you have this, remove it...
Then, see if you used CONCAT to create any column.
If so, go into this column setting, and disable it from "global search" in the Filtering tab.

If none of that helps,
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″.
If you need help with that, you can see our video, where we show an example of using View in our plugin.
-
Let me know If that helped.
Thank you
Kind Regards,

Hello Miloš, your explanation helped me.
