MB Custom Table

WordPress normally saves each custom field as a separate row in the meta table. On sites with a lot of custom data, such as WooCommerce stores, that table can grow very large and become harder to manage. MB Custom Table addresses this by placing all the custom fields for an object in a single row of a custom table, with each column representing a meta key.

The plugin works with all Meta Box field types and with post, user, term and comment meta, so your existing meta box definitions stay as they are. You can view, edit, import and export the data directly from the custom table. Custom models go a step further and combine post data and meta data in one table, which makes retrieval simpler for developers.

Features

• Single-row field storage: All custom field values for an object are saved in one row of a custom table, with each column representing a meta key, which reduces the number of rows in the database.
• All meta types supported: It handles post meta, user meta, term meta and comment meta, so you can manage custom field data across different parts of WordPress in the same way.
• Works with existing meta boxes: All Meta Box field types are supported, and you do not need to change the meta box definitions you have already built.
• Developer-friendly API: A simple API lets developers define and manage custom tables without modifying the existing meta box setup.
• Custom models: Custom models combine post data and meta data into a single custom table, so related information can be retrieved and managed in one place.
• Custom Model field type: A Custom Model field type lets you select rows from a custom table, connecting your stored data to the fields you work with.
• View, edit, import and export: Custom field data can be viewed, edited, imported and exported directly from the custom table, which simplifies routine administrative work.
• Meta Box extension compatibility: It works with other Meta Box extensions such as MB Admin Columns and MB Group, helping you display and organize your data.
