This plugin is aimed at developers that need to migrate their databases from 
production to test or local domains.
This is the simplest way I’ve found to migrate databases quickly.
You only have to set the <code>WP_HOME</code> 
(<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_address_.28URL.29" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress address URL</a>) 
and <code>WP_SITEURL</code> 
(<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Blog_address_.28URL.29" rel="nofollow ugc">Blog address URL</a>) 
constants once for each environment and then the database is automatically 
upgraded when you import a database and login to the admin area.
This stands on the shoulders of the constants and fills the hole for when 
plugins don’t follow the rules and use the database directly.
This plugin is designed to be the most lightweight way to migrate your database 
and stay out the way of your own processes.
It works with WordPress to use WordPress’ own constants to update the database 
using the 
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Database Object</a>. 
It avoids search and replaces in text files. It uses database queries to update 
the database as should be done.
Most developers have their own methods for exporting/importing the database – 
if you can use <code>mysqldump</code> then you probably don’t want a WordPress plugin to 
do it for you.
It makes no assumptions about your database and it’s cross platform.
P.S. Pitta is taken from the start of an <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/182/5433" rel="nofollow ugc">answer from WordPress SE</a>:
<blockquote>
Deployment of a WordPress site from one box to another has been a PITA since 
 day one I started working with WordPress. (Truth-be-told it was a PITA with 
 Drupal for 2 years before I started with WordPress so the problem is 
 certainly not exclusively with WordPress.)
</blockquote>
So this plugin aims to make things less PITA and more yummy Pitta (pedants will 
mention that Pitta can also be spelled pita).
Its inspiration actually comes from the <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/119/5433" rel="nofollow ugc">second answer</a> 
from the same <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/119/5433" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress SE question</a>.
Coincidentally there is a migratory bird called a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitta" rel="nofollow ugc">Pitta</a>:
<blockquote>
The fairy pitta migrates from Korea, Japan, Taiwan and coastal China to Borneo.
</blockquote>
P.P.S. This plugin is based off the excellent <a href="https://github.com/theantichris/WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Plugin Boilerplate</a> from antichris on Github

Simple Table Manager enables editing table records and exporting them to CSV files through a minimal database interface from your dashboard.
<ul>
<li>Simply CRUD table contents on your wp-admin screen</li>
<li>Search and sort table records</li>
<li>No knowledge of MySQL or PHP required</li>
<li>Export table records to a CSV file</li>
<li>Does not allow users to create tables or change the structure of the table</li>
</ul>
Simple Table Manager is a tool suited for the initial development phase of a website. It is ideal when you want to ask someone else with no database expertise to keep track of table records on your website. This was the motivation for developing this plugin.
Note that to comply with wordpress.org plugin security guidelines, edited and added record fields are filtered through wp_kses_post() to prevent sql injection attacks. In some cases, wanted tags may be filtered out leading to field corruption.

As advertised, this plugin is great for a non-techy admin to create and edit data, and I recommended the plugin for this purpose.
I used phpMyAdmin to setup the table and then used the plugin to create the initial set of records. There are no display facilities with the plugin so I a used a bit of custom code. Only 2 lines are needed to fetch the data into a php function:
global $wpdb;
$results = $wpdb->get_results( 'SELECT * FROM wp_mytable', ARRAY_N );
The plugin will allow access to only one table at a time, but its easy to switch between tables.
Thanks for sharing.
