 * Hello,
 * I am very new to WordPress, and I was wondering if it’s possible to have on the
   dashboard, a kind of CMS for a custom database.
 * Explaining:
    I would have a table Entity, with fields id_Entity, Name and id_Type,
   and another table, EntityType with fields id_Type and Type.
 * Would I be able to manage that information from somewhere within the dashboard?
   And would then I be able to create a specific page to show that info, and filter
   by EntityType, for example?
 * TIA,
    Manuel

 * Thanks for the reply, but my had designed a full scale database ER Diagram just
   for my app, which included about 15 tables, all connected between them. For what
   I’ve seen from this plugin, it look a little limited for what I’m looking for.
 * Do you think there’s another one, a little bit more complex, in order to manage
   all the information within the 15 tables?
 * Thanks

 * A plugin that uses your custom tables is probably going to be hard to find.

 * If I want to build a website, which contains some sort of hierarchic information,
   how would I go about it?
 * Imagine I would like to have a Movie database:
 * One table with movies, another with actors and another with directors.
    All of
   them would be connected between them, and I would have to add the information
   manually.
 * Would there be any way to build those tables, and manage them through WordPress?
   The input would be somewhere through the dashboard?
 * Would it then be possible to show the information through front-end pages? A 
   listing for movies with references to the actors, directors?
 * Thanks for the help.

 * Hello Manel,
 * I am trying to find something like that for myself. Did you have any luck? I 
   was trying to avoid having to create some custom plugin to manage some tables
   in the database… 🙁
 * Thanks for your help! (obrigado!) 😀
