 * Hi there!
 * Is it possible to link tables so that I can have bananas in one table and then
   all the varieties in another?
 * Thanks so much!
    Best wishes, Rosi

 * Hi Rosi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * To be honest, I’m not sure that I understand. You can of course create different
   tables like this, embed them into posts/pages and then add clickable links to
   those pages into the actual tables.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias –
 * Yes, sorry for not being more explicit. What I meant was that when using php 
   and mysql, typically columns and data in columns can be linked by relationships:
   one to one, one to many, many to many, etc. These linkages between tables makes
   it easy to create tables without duplicating data and also can make searching
   more quick. Is it possible to have data linked between tables so that I can have
   a table of names, for instance and then a table with all of their contact information?
   Or a list of their visits.
 * This is also related to another question I had asked on the forum in regards 
   to recalling data history to tables. It would be useful to use the links to say
   this person changed their answer x many times and this is what it was changed
   from.
 * Does that make more sense?
 * Thanks so much!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the clarification.
 * Unfortunately, I don’t see a solution for this in TablePress. This is simply 
   out of the scope of the plugin, which is to allow the user to create and show
   static tables. For more sophisticated needs, like this, a custom solution based
   e.g. on mySQL is usually better.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
