DataTable

Dreamweaver Extension for MX, DW8, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CC, ...

DataTable is an extension for Adobe Dreamweaver that allows to show and edit the data stored in a MySQL database, from a webpage.

Display of data through DataTable facilitates data management:

  • The rows can be ordered by clicking on the header of the column that you wish to order by.
  • You can set your own table size: set width, height, or both. If you set the size, scrolling bars will be shown when the amount of data requires it.
  • For tables with a high number of rows: Rows can be separated in pages, thus allowing to move between pages; you can also change the amount of rows per page;
  • Each row in the table will show a column defined by user - either Delete the row, or Edit it. 
  • Includes a search box to search/filter the data;

Editing of data through DataTable is another interesting feature:

  • When you define the columns to display through DataTable, you will specify whether they will be editable or not (columns defined as primary keys in the database cannot be editable);
  • When you select a cell within a table, if its column was defined as editable, a window will be shown, allowing to edit its content;
  • During cell’s editing, the values entered will be validated  to match the data present in the database, thus reducing errors in data entry. For example, if one of database fields is defined as numeric, you will be unable to enter values that are not numeric. If a field is defined as NOT_NULL, entering a value in this cell will be mandatory.
  • DataTable rows that contain data that have already been edited, but not updated in the database, will be indicated as such.

Two actions that can be performed on DataTable rows: Edit row or Delete row. Both actions are executed on the physical database where data are stored. During the DataTable’s insertion process, you will define the actions that can be performed on the database; they are optional.
