#021: Table Wizard


Listen Later

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/tw Who: Only technical users - You pretty much have to understand how tables in databases work to get the most out of this module. What: The Table Wizard module allows you to interface Drupal with non-Drupal database tables in the form of views. When: Use this module when you need to pull data from a table that isn't related to Drupal but it does not need to go into nodes. Note: This module is useful for niche operations by its self but it really shines when paired with the Migrate module. Where: You can find this module in the admin back end under content management. Why: Not everything needs to be a full Drupal module. If you just need to reference data out of a database and you don't need it to be a full node, this is the module for you.   Theme song "i dunno" by grapes. module-a-day_podcast-0021.mp3
