<h3>Usage</h3>
After installation, look for the ‘Tables’ menu item in your WordPress dashboard/admin panel.
<h4>Creating Tables</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to Tables > Add Table</li>
<li>Enter table name and description</li>
<li>Add columns with their respective names, types and properties</li>
<li>Preview and save your table structure</li>
</ol>
Available Column Types:
<ul>
<li>Short text – varchar(255)</li>
<li>Number – int(11)</li>
<li>Big number – bigint(20)</li>
<li>Currency – decimal(15,2)</li>
<li>Date time – datetime</li>
<li>Yes no – bit(1)</li>
<li>Lookup – varchar(100)</li>
<li>Rich text – mediumtext</li>
<li>Long text – longtext</li>
<li>Attachment – longblob</li>
<li>Hyperlink – varchar(1024)</li>
<li>ENUM – ENUM (your list of options)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Managing Data</h4>
<ol>
<li>Navigate to Tables > All Tables</li>
<li>Click on a table to view/edit its data or its structure</li>
<li>Add, edit, or delete records (edit by clicking the field itself)</li>
<li>Use bulk actions for multiple records</li>
<li>Restore deleted records from trash</li>
<li>Display data in your WordPress page or post using shortcodes</li>
</ol>
<h4>Creating Queries</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to Tables > All Queries > Select</li>
<li>Choose tables and fields to include</li>
<li>Add conditions and aliases</li>
<li>Preview and save your query</li>
<li>Display the query results in your WordPress page or post using shortcodes</li>
</ol>
If you want to view data from related, joined tables you can create and save a query by setting one of its conditions so that the value from the first table column is equal to the second table column/field (effectively indicating a foreign key column and pointing it to another table’s primary key).
Example of such query condition: 
[<code>review.product_id</code>] [equal to] [FIELD] [<code>product.id</code>]
<h4>View Query Results</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to Tables > All Queries</li>
<li>View specific query</li>
</ol>
<h4>Deleting Data</h4>
There are three options for deleting data:
<ol>
<li>Deleting rows while viewing a table, one by one or in bulk; soft delete, reversible</li>
<li>Truncate – delete all data in a table; irreversible</li>
<li>Delete the whole table; irreversible</li>
</ol>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
Shortcodes are a powerful feature of Black-Desk that let you seamlessly connect your data tables to any of your WordPress pages or posts, in one of the two directions:
<ul>
<li>Display data from your tables directly on your page or post;</li>
<li>Create custom data entry forms to store user input directly into your data tables.</li>
</ul>
Using shortcodes, you can easily:
<ul>
<li>Display data from your table or query result – <code>[bdds-view-table]</code></li>
<li>Display specific field – <code>[bdds-view-field]</code></li>
<li>Display specific field data for each row of your table or query result – <code>[bdds-view-repeat]</code></li>
<li>Create an input form using shortcodes: 
- <code>[bdds-form-start]</code> – to start a form 
- <code>[bdds-form-field]</code> – to add form field 
- <code>[bdds-form-stop]</code> – to end a form</li>
</ul>
Detailed shortcodes usage instructions are provided in dashboard > Tables > Shortcodes.

Dream Production

A fast/small debugger integrated into the WordPress Admin Bar, made for identifying the template used for displaying current page.
It was built for fast debugging old projects or other people’s work.
It adds some other potentially useful informations in the dropdown list:
<ul>
<li>the current theme (useful for child themes)</li>
<li>total queries on current page</li>
<li>execution time</li>
</ul>

DP Debug Menu

Very simple and handy plugin. Shows number of queries, too - very good! I like it!

Great!

Quickly shows the template used for current page, number of queries, and execution time for PHP code.
