<p>Presents the results a database SQL query in a table. The query can be saved as a<br />
named view which can then be embedded as a table in any post using the shortcode<br />
[dbview name=name-of-view]. Views can be created and edited in the dashboard.</p>
<h4>Shortcode examples</h4>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ view with a page size of 50 rows.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities’ pagesize=50]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ view initially sorted by column ‘city’ in ascending order.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities’ sort=city order=asc]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ view initially sorted by column ‘population’ in descending order.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities’ sort=population order=desc]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ view without any pagination.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities’]</p>
<p>Show the ‘world cities’ in the US with a population of greater than 5 million. See FAQ on passing arguments.<br />
    [dbview name=’world cities in country’ sort=city order=asc pagesize=10<br />
     arg1=’United States’ arg2=5000000]</p>
<h4>End User Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Column sorting on table header. Columns are enabled on each column.</li>

<li>Easy view consists of one SQL statement plus an optional PHP snippet associated wthe each column.</li>
<li>Sorting on each column can be enabled and disabled.</li>
<li>Each column can be manipulated using a PHP snippet. This functionality allows the introduction of permalinks, images and other customisations. </li>

</ul>
<h4>Limitations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Tables are not styled; this is left to the theme. </li>
<li>The data in the results table(s) cannot be edited.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security</h4>

Only a view that is explicitly checked as public will be visible to non administrators and the public.</p>
